Contact lenses with color filtering zone

A contact lens for slowing the progression of myopia, comprising:

• a circular first zone extending from an optical center of the contact lens to a first boundary, the circular first zone having a first visible light transmission profile;
• and
• an annular second zone abutting the circular first zone at the first boundary, wherein:
• the annular second zone has at least partially surrounds the circular first zone and extends from the first boundary to a second boundary,
• the annular second zone has the same dioptric power as a dioptric power of the circular first zone,
• the annular second zone has a second visible light transmission profile that is different than the first visible light transmission profile, wherein:
• the second visible light transmission profile is a light transmission profile of about 380 nm to about 500 nm, and
• the second visible light transmission profile is configured to provide a percentage transmission of at least 70 percent for light having wavelengths of 380 nm to 500 nm, and
• the annular second zone comprises about 1% to about 3% by weight of one or more colorants configured to transmit light of a wavelength of 400 nm to 480 nm and to provide a percentage transmission of less than 60 percent for light having wavelengths above 500 nm to 650 nm.
