To what colour? 27% said green, 26% said amethyst, and 18% said blue. The rest of the respondents chose turquoise, grey, honey and brown, in that order. Further results of the survey showed that brown eyes are associated with intelligence, trustworthiness, and kindness. Blue eyes are related with sweetness, sexiness, and kindness. Green eyes are associated with sexiness, creativity, and deviousness.

The first daily disposable contact lenses were introduced in 1996. Other options include bifocal, astigmatism and plano forms.

These and other moods can be created for fun and just plain variety with coloured contacts. Online sites are available for you to upload a picture of yourself and try out different colours!

There are three general types of tints for coloured lenses. The first are visibility tints. These lenses are slightly coloured in blue or green. This is so they are easier to find when removing or inserting, or if you drop them. Enhancement tints are a solid, but see through colour that enhances your normal eye colour. These are best for those with light coloured eyes who want a dramatic or intense shade. Colour tints are the only coloured contact lenses that will completely change your eye colour, even if you have dark eyes. They are made up of patterns of solid colours or deep opaque tints. They come in a wide variety of colours, including grey, amethyst, violet, blue, green, and hazel.
