Four Different Tints:

The visibility tint usually has a light blue or green tint added to lens, for sole purpose of helping you to better see lenses during insertion and removal. The tint also aids in seeing if they are dropped, because tint is so light they do not affect eye color. The enhancement tints are a solid (yet translucent) tint that is not much darker than visibility tint but does affect wearer’s eye color. As name implies lenses enhance existing color of eyes. The enhancement tints are a nice yet subtle change for those just wanting to add a bit of intensity to their eye color.

Some of lovely tints available come in colors such as; blue, gray, true sapphire, green, turquoise, Caribbean aqua, sea green and pacific blue to name a few. The various tints are usually made up with a series of colorful shapes, lines or dots to mimic look of natural eye.
