The purpose of the present work was to study the effect on visual performance of wearing disposable soft tinted contact lenses for cosmetic purposes. Parameters such as contrast sensitivity (Vistech 6000), colour vision (Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue colour test), visual fields (static Goldmann perimetry) and subjective vision (what the wearer feels while wearing the lenses) were studied under different illumination levels in order to check for possible vision losses while wearing these contact lenses at low illumination levels. Sixteen emmetropic subjects were fitted consecutively with seven pairs of different colour lenses (Optima Colors lenses by BauschLomb), and the experimental parameters were measured under four different illumination levels (60, 6, 1, and 0.1 cd/m2; but 15 and 0.3 cd/m2 for the static perimetry) The results obtained showed no statistically significant differences in visual performance between wearing the lenses and not wearing them (p0.01), except for the static perimetry, in which statistically significant differences (p0.01) occur at eccentricities greater than 30 degrees.
