What are Opaque Tint Contact Lenses?

Leave your comment

There are all sorts of different contact lenses out there, from hard gas permeable lenses to the more common soft disposable ones. Any lens will correct your vision and help you get rid of the hassle of glasses.

Contact lenses have come a long way in just a few short years. What was once strictly for vision correction can now be used as a cosmetic. If you are looking to change your eye color then opaque tint contact lenses are just the thing you are looking for.

Opaque tint contact lenses can change any eye color even deep dark browns. They have a unique structure that allows you to see normal color range but change what your eyes look like. You can go from brown to green hazel or blue just by putting in a different lens.

These lenses require the same amount of care as any other extended wear disposable lens. You still need to remove them at night, clean them, and store them.

Opaque tint lenses don’t lose their color over time either. You don’t have to worry about a tinted dye bleaching out. They will look exactly the same at the end of the month as the 1st day you put them in.

Like all contact lenses these will require a prescription even if you don’t need vision correction. Only an eye doctor can find the lens that is just the right fit for you.

If you’re looking to change your appearance subtly or dramatically then opaque tint contact lenses are a great starting point. You can find them in every shade from natural to outrageous. You can even order a set of red ones to use around Halloween.

All you need to do is make an appointment with an optometrist and show up for a quick vision check and fitting. You’ll love the dramatic effect the lenses will have.

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.
