Colored contact lenses are thin, curved discs placed directly on the eyes to alter their appearance. These lenses can intensify natural eye color, transform it entirely to a different hue, or even create special effects like cat eyes or other novelty designs. They are available with or without vision correction.
Beyond cosmetic applications, these lenses hold significance for individuals with certain medical conditions. They can address issues such as aniridia (absence of the iris) and other ocular anomalies, providing both aesthetic improvement and functional benefits. The development of colored contacts has evolved significantly since their initial introduction, with advancements in materials and manufacturing processes leading to increased comfort, safety, and a broader range of available colors and designs.
