If you have astigmatism or presbyopia however you are in luck. Toric contacts, which are a special type of bifocal contact lenses DO come in colors.

Astigmatism is the inability of the cornea to properly focus an image on the retina. The result is blurred vision, headaches and eye strain. A normal cornea is shaped like a soccer ball while an astigmatic eye is shaped like a rugby or American football.

The irregular shape of the astigmatic eye causes different focal points which can result in either myopia (short sightedness), hypermetropia or hyperopia (long sightedness).
