What's Cosmetic Contact Lenses?

Cosmetic contact lenses (sometimes called colored contact lenses) are worn on the cornea to protect the eyes and correct vision.

For those with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, having colored contact lenses will help, not only making the eyes more enchanting, but also more attractive in appearance, bringing great convenience to life.

Colored Contact Lenses Technology Development

Three main technologies of contact lenses you should know:

  1. Dry Printing Technology: the color of contact lenses is usually placed inside or outside the lens, which is a very simple method and has a low cost, but it will bring an uncomfortable wearing experience, so it disappeared in 2010.
  2. Sandwich Printing tec: the contact lens consists of three layers, and the color block is embedded between two transparent lenses, which can perfectly avoid the problem of fading, and the production method is more complicated. Many contact lens brands on the market currently use this method.
  3. The third method is better than the second one. This method not only colors the lens in the middle layer, but also simplifies the process and gives you a comfortable feeling when wearing it.

Contact Lenses Materials

There are also three colored contact lenses materials just like the production technology, which includes common regular materials, silicone hydrogel materials and non-ionic materials. However, considering the wearing feeling, lens fitness, lens moisture and softness, we mainly choose the silicone hydrogel materials.
