Chris Bennett: Give your practice some cosmetic surgery

Coloured cosmetic contact lenses mean different things to  different people.

Attitudes have been driven by experience and technology ( news), but recently technology has had the last word. A new generation of cosmetic, or should that be coloured lenses, is emerging which have the same clinical performance as their clear cousins. These new lenses have also been designed to offer a different effect.

Gone are the days of inhumanly-vivid blues and greens. Tuning into the fashion zeitgeist today's cosmetic lenses offer a more sophisticated approach to change. Defining the limbal ring, adding lustre, offering options of subtle or vibrant change are the order of the day.
