What are Visibility Tinted Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses are a great alternative to glasses. You never have to worry about having a set of prescription glasses and a set of prescription sunglasses. With contact lenses you can just pop on your favorite pair of shades.

Contact lenses are inexpensive and comfortable as well. About the only real draw back to contact lenses is occasionally they pop out and you have to get on your hands and knees to hunt for one. Trying to find a tiny piece of clear plastic on a bathroom floor can be horribly frustrating.

If the thought of spending a lot of time hunting for a lost lenses doesn’t appeal to you then the next time you go to purchase a set of lenses ask about visibility tinted contact lenses.

First let’s look at what visibility tinted contact lenses aren’t. They do not change your eye color in any way. The only purpose of the tinting is to help you find a lens that’s either floating in contact lens solution or that may have fallen on the floor.

These lenses normally have a subtle blue hue that makes them much much easier to find.

Visibility tinted contact lenses are virtually invisible once you put them in. Unless some one is standing nose to nose with you and peering into your eyes no one will know you are wearing contacts.

You care for these lenses just like you would any other soft contact lens. They need to be rinsed in a multi purpose solution and stored at night. This will greatly extend the life of the lenses.

So if it’s time to pick up a new set of contact lenses it might be a good idea to ask your optometrist about visibility tinted contact lenses. Chances are the office will have a test pair that you can try out and see if these are the right lenses for you.
