    Colored contact lenses originated in 1981 by a company known as Ciba Vision. Inspired by the development of soft lenses in the late 1970s, Ciba Vision developed the first visibly tinted soft lenses. Colored contact lenses are worn primarily to change the color of the eye and often do not require a prescription.

    I don't think so. My great-grandfather helped invent the colored contact. I don't know where they got this information.
