Abstract
Disclosed are methods, materials and systems for producing contact lenses and contact lenses produced using said methods, materials and systems. According to some embodiments, a contact lens produced by said methods, materials and systems includes an extra-ocular indicator (“EOI”) adapted to alter in color upon removal of said lens from an eye. The EOI may be at least partially composed of a pigment adapted to become relatively more visible when the contact lens is outside an eye than when the contact lens is placed in an eye.

A contact lens comprising:
- a substantially transparent contact lens material;
- and
- an extra-ocular indicator (“EOI”) embedded or in contact with at least a portion of said contact lens material, wherein said EOI is at least partially composed of a pH responsive pigment and alters in color upon removal of said contact lens from an eye.
Contact lenses comprising:
- a first contact lens with a first extra-ocular indicator (“EOI”) adapted to alter to a first color upon removal of said first lens from an eye, and a second contact lens with a second extra-ocular indicator (“EOI”) adapted to alter to a second color upon removal of said second lens from an eye, wherein the first and second EOI's are each at least partially composed of a pH responsive pigment.
