Most contact lenses are tinted slightly, either a very pale shade of green or of blue. This is done in order to make it easier for us to see them, specially if they are dropped. The tints are very light and do not affect the vision in anyway. After all, it is easier to locate a blue contact lens than to attempt to look for a transparent lens.
However, a darker tint is now available mainly to be used as a means to enhance the beauty. They come in a plain form - i.e for use by those who do not need corrective lenses, and they are available as bifocal lenses and also disposable lenses.
