Visibility tint
This is usually a light blue or green tint added to a lens, just to help you see it better during insertion and removal, or if you drop it. Visibility tints are relatively faint and do not affect your eye colour.
Enhancement tint
This is a solid but translucent (see-through) tint that is a little darker than a visibility tint. As the name implies, an enhancement tint is meant to enhance the natural colour of your eyes.
Opaque tint
This is a non-transparent tint that can change your eye colour completely. If you have dark eyes, you'll need this type of colour contact lens to change your eye colour. Colour contacts with opaque tints come in a wide variety of colours, including hazel, green, blue, violet, amethyst, brown and grey.
Choosing the right colour
If you want to change your appearance but in a more subtle way, you may want to choose an enhancement tint that defines the edges of your iris and deepens your natural colour.
If you want to experiment with a different eye colour while still looking natural, you might choose contact lenses in grey or green, for example, if your natural eye colour is blue.
If you want a dramatic new look that everyone notices immediately, those with naturally light-coloured eyes and a cool complexion with blue-red undertones might choose a warm-toned contact lens such as light brown.
Opaque coloured tints are the best choice if you have dark eyes. For a natural-looking change, try a lighter honey brown or hazel coloured lens.
If you really want to stand out from the crowd, opt for contact lenses in vivid colours, such as blue, green or violet, if your skin is dark, bright-coloured lenses can create a dramatic appearance.
