| abstract |
Provided is a colored contact lens that has a novel structure and, when worn, exhibits a novel effect not previously seen. In contrast to the idea of "drawing attention to the obvious colored line around the outside of the iris" of conventional technology, a colored band (22) is disposed at the boundary section between the iris (12) and the white of the eye (14), and density is gradually changed from the iris section to the white section of the eye such that the density of this colored band (22) decreases from the inner circumferential side to the outer circumferential side. As a result, a novel colored contact lens is provided with which it is possible to bring out the beauty of the white section of the eye (14), which has been ignored by conventional technology, while an impression is maintained that is as natural and elegant as possible by avoiding an artificial impression such as that found in conventional technology. |
