Tinted Contact Lenses

Tinted contacts come with a light color added to make them easier to handle or to change your eye color. Visibility tints are faint and do not affect how your eyes look when worn.

Many world-class brands offer tinted options that combine high-definition vision with beautiful color. Popular choices include:

• 1-Day Acuvue Define - These daily disposables use subtle patterns that blend with your natural iris to highlight and define your eyes without a fake look.
• Air Optix Colors - Available in 12 stunning shades, these monthly lenses use breathable silicone hydrogel to ensure your eyes stay healthy and white while looking vibrant.
• FreshLook ColorBlends - A bi-weekly favorite that uses 3-in-1 technology to mimic the natural complexities of a human iris for a realistic result.

Tinted lenses typically carry a slightly higher price point than clear lenses due to the specialized printing process. A box of six lenses usually costs between $65 and $95. If you wear bi-weekly lenses, your annual cost may range from $520 to $760.

To make these lenses more affordable, shopping online is your best bet. On Lens.com, you can find the same trusted brands found in your doctor's office for up to 70% less. By purchasing in bulk and utilizing rebates, you can enjoy a new look without breaking your budget.

Selecting the right tint depends on your natural features and your goals. Ask yourself:

1. Do I want a natural or dramatic look? For a natural look on light eyes, stick with enhancement tints. For a dramatic change on dark eyes, go with opaque lenses.
2. What is my skin tone? Cool skin tones often look best in blues and violets, while warm skin tones are complemented by honey, amber, and hazel.
3. Do I need vision correction? Even "plano" lenses (zero power) require a professional fitting and prescription from an eye doctor to ensure they sit safely on your eye.

The handling of tinted lenses follows the same safety protocols as clear lenses:

1. For Soft Tinted Lenses - Wash and dry your hands with a lint free towel. Place the lens on your index finger, pull your lower lid down, and place the lens on the eye. To remove, gently slide the lens down to the white of the eye and pinch it between your thumb and index finger.
2. For RGP (Hard) Tinted Lenses - These may require a short adjustment period. To remove them, pull the corner of your eyelid toward your ear and blink hard; the lens should pop out into your waiting hand.
