Abstract
A colored contact lens comprising a non-opaque pupil section, an iris section surrounding the pupil section. A colored, opaque, intermittent pattern is deposited over the iris section using opaque elements which are indiscernible to the ordinary viewer. The elements of the pattern are of a shade which provides a contact lens capable of making subtle changes or enhancements to the color of the iris of a dark-eyed person while imparting a very natural appearance.
