Color Vision Contact Lenses

Color Vision Contact Lenses

People who are unable to see colors in a normal way have a condition known as colorblindness. People with this condition often have trouble distinguishing between specific colors, typically greens, reds, and sometimes blues. Most people with colorblindness are born with it, but it can occur later in life from an ocular condition. Contact lenses for color blindness are the most common choice for many patients, even for those who have never worn lenses before.

Color blindness or color vision deficiency is the inability to perceive differences between some of the colors that others can distinguish. It is most often of genetic nature, but may also occur because of eye, nerve, or brain damage, or exposure to certain chemicals.

The X chrome contact lenses help to perceive difference in some of the colours by increasing the contrast. X-Chrome contact lens is a red contact lens worn in one eye and is used to overcome red-green colour vision deficiencies. As the red contact lens is only carried in one eye, the patient can compare different contrasts between the two eyes.
