Tinted contact lenses are used to enhance the eyes natural colour, for example, they can make light coloured eyes more vivid or slightly darker in colour. However, tinted lenses will have no effect on dark coloured eyes. Coloured lenses are used to completely change the colour of an eye, or to make the pupil and iris a different shape. Some contact lenses have a handling tint, which does not affect the colour of the eye but is used to help see the lens when it is out of the eye.
