Coloured contact lenses are designed to enhance the colour of your eyes, in addition to correcting your vision. A number of major contacts manufacturers have lines devoted specifically to colour enhancement, from Acuvue to Freshlook to Focus. Most coloured contact lenses come in blue and green shades, though some companies have begun to make brown or hazel contacts. Colour-enhancing contacts are different than colour-changing contacts, which can make a person's brown eyes look blue, and vice versa.

CIBA Soft Focus Softcolors

CIBAVision manufactures Focus Softcolors, a line of contacts users must replace once a week.
