A simple but comprehensive introductory to colored contacts.

Provides a good high-level, not too technical overview on the science that makes colored contact lenses possible.  It also provides background and the differences between vision correcting color contacts that require a prescription and non-corrective color contacts that you can wear after a fitting. Also discusses the 3 current technologies that make colored contacts a reality... visibility tints, enhancement tints, and opaque color tints.
