Non Prescription Color Contacts


Non-prescription color contacts are fun! Non-prescription color contacts are a fashion statement by themselves. You can show you are green with envy. Or blue as the sea. Perhaps be a study in brown? For with non-prescription color contacts, you get the look you want when you feel like it.

Currently there are four types of colored contact lenses: visibility tints, enhancement tints, opaque color tints and light-filtering tints. As you can see, the tints vary in intensity and serve different purposes.

  • The visibility tint is a light blue or green color added to aid you in putting on or removing your lenses. So they were tinted for a practical reason.
  • An enhancement tint is a solid (but translucent) tint that affects eye color, however not in a dramatic way, as it will just emphasize the existing color of your eyes.
  • Color tinted lenses are deep opaque tints that can turn your black pupils into blue ones. They are made of solid colored patterns.
  • Light-filtering tints are the ones used by sportsmen and spectators. For a special light or filter allows them to see certain objects better For example, a yellow filter allows the tennis ball to be clearly seen as it makes the ball stand out while muting the surroundings.

    Another less whimsical use for non-prescription color contacts is that hospitals and clinics use them as a bandage for the eyes right after cataract surgery.

    These contacts are usually done in hydrophilic (water-loving) plastics. So you need to be diligent in cleaning them and applying disinfectants.

    Also even if they are Plano (without vision correction) lenses, you should still see your eye doctor to get fitted for one.

    Don't share these contacts with friends, you could transmit or receive potentially harmful bacteria.

    Exercise care and caution with non-prescription color contacts, as you do with prescribed contacts, for they are still medical devices.
