There are 5 main types of contact lenses. These include:

  • Visibility tint contact lenses

  • Tinted enhancement contact lenses

  • Opaque contact lenses

  • Light-Filtering contact lenses

  • Special Effect Lenses

Visibility tint contact lenses

This tint does not actually change the color of the lens once it is placed on the line. Most manufacturers add a light green or blue tint to the lenses - this is simply to assist you in finding the lens when it gets inadvertently dropped in a basin of water!

Tinted Enhancement contact lenses

These types of lenses are developed to enhance the existing color of your eyes. These lenses are most useful for people with light colored eyes who wish to make them darker.

Opaque contact lenses

These types of colored contact lenses provide a range of shapes and patterns of solid color. In the center of the lens is a clear space, through which your pupil can see. Naturally, the more color on the lens, the more you can expect your eye color to change once they are placed in.

Light-Filtering contact lenses

These types of lenses are relatively new on the market. They were originally developed for sports such as tennis. The lens enhance particular colors (yellow in the case of tennis), meaning that the ball will stand out from the background a lot more for a player. Additional lenses are also being developed for a range of other sports, including golf and skiing.

Special Effects contact lenses

These types of lenses have in the past been used extensively in movies and theatre. However recently, they have become more popular in the mainstream. These colored contact lenses can make your eyes appear alien, catlike or red hot.
