Color Contacts Have you ever seen someone with Color Contacts on? There’s a good chance that you have and you didn’t even know it. If you’ve ever looked at someone and wondered how they got those beautiful turquoise eyes, you’ve probably seen someone wearing Color Contacts. Color Contacts allow a wearer to change their eye color from what they were born with to the eye color they’ve always wanted. Even those born with dark-colored eyes can change their eye color to blue or green, although the shade may be a little darker than that of a person born with light-colored eyes. There are Color Contacts that are made with vision correction and others that are made without vision correction. The Color Contacts that are made without vision correction can be worn by anyone who does not need glasses, but who wants to change their eye color. They are worn for cosmetic purposes only. Color Contacts have become quite popular with high school and college-aged students who want to stand out in a crowd and/or who want to be noticed and complimented on their eye color. [Pullout: 
] One of the most recent developments in Color Contacts is the light-filtering tints. These are designed especially to be used by athletes and those participating in different sports. The light-filtering tint contacts enhance certain colors like optic yellow and they mute other colors. By wearing these contacts, the athlete can spot an optic yellow golf ball, for instance, because it stands out against the background and is easier to see. As another example, a tennis player wearing these contacts could see the tennis ball more clearly as it approached them. Did you ever know anyone who dropped their contact lens and couldn’t find it because it was clear-colored and blended in with the floor or carpet? A visibility tint contact lens has had a light blue or green tint added to it to help the wearer see it better when they are inserting, removing, or trying to find a dropped contact lens. Since the added tint is very light, it does not affect the eye color of the wearer.
