Tinted Contact Lenses

Need some tinted contact lenses?  Tinted contact lenses can be used to subtly change the natural color of the eye or in some cases completely change the color you currently have.  There are various types of tinted contact lenses you are going to want to consider based upon what effect you’re going for. 

One of the types you can get is the visibility tinted contact lenses, these ones are slightly tinted, they don’t contain much dye.  These will not alter the natural color of your eye.  Next, there are color enhancement contact lenses that enhance the natural color of the eye, the iris to be specific.  These work by intensifying the color of your iris.  Finally, you have opaque contact lenses which completely mask your original color and overlay it with some other color that is completely different, this can allow you to have brown, green, blue, red, yellow or any other color contacts.

Now if you’re going for one of these tinted lenses, another thing you’re going to want to know is that some of them allow you to reduce glare or light sensitivity.  Some of them have a UV filter even, although they are not strong enough to be any replacement for sun glasses.  Do note also that these only protect the cornea and retina as well, so it’s not a complete solution, but it definitely does help.

Now if you’re not sure which color to go with for your tint, you might want to go online and look for a site which can show you virtually what you would look like with a different colored eye.  There are some websites which allow you to upload a picture of yourself and then change the eye color of that picture so that you can get an idea for what you will look like with blue, green, hazel or any other color of iris.

Based on this, you can go and try out a different color, although you may also want to go online and find reviews of colored contacts and what people have said about them.  One place to find reviews is Amazon, you can find people there who have the same color eyes as you and see what they have to say about different colors and how they looked on them.  This can also give you a good barometer for how the lenses will look like on your eyes and if they will stand out too much or not.  Of course other considerations like ethnicity will come into play as well, so that is not always accurate.

In the end, if you’re looking for tinted contact lenses, the best way to find out what works for you is to just try different things out, don’t be afraid to make a few mistakes color-wise when searching for the optimal color.
