DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a coloring agent for coloring contact lenses. In particular, the present invention relates to a color paste for coloring a contact lens, a method of manufacturing the same, and a process for using a contact lens of the color paste. [Prior Art] A contact lens is a vision correcting device that is extremely convenient in life. Especially for people with myopia, in order to improve the appearance and avoid the trouble of wearing ordinary glasses, it is often necessary to wear contact lenses. However, since the general contact lens is transparent and colorless, t causes the wearer to spend time looking for it. Because the contact lens is known to be colored, the entire lens can be lightly colored to become a visible or positioned color. Find the lens placed in the lens storage case with a clear solution, and improve the recognition of the lens.

Known colorants require the use of a cross-linking agent to form a covalent bond between the lens material and the binder polymer to form a stable color-changing lens. The so-called u-colored lens means that the dye does not bleed out or dissolve from the lens. Or ooze or dissolve from one part of the lens to another part. In some known methods of forming colored contact lenses, it is necessary to form a lens body before the colorant is added to the lens, for example, after the steps of filling, plasticizing, hydrating, and the like are performed, the lens is immersed in the lens. In the dye solution prepared by the saline solution, the depth of the lens coloration is determined by the dyeing time, the treatment temperature, and the dye solution (four degrees). This method lacks many parameters for lens coloring and is difficult to control. For example, the control of lens 2 326\patent specification (supplement)\95-12\TF954523 5 200827815 needs to be precise, otherwise the color will be too deep or too shallow, and it must be certain Temperature (for example, 60. Under the sputum, the color fixing effect will be more obvious. Moreover, the conventional method is, for example, the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 565584, the name % is "method of manufacturing a dyed ophthalmic molding", which uses a solvent The powdered dye is dissolved and added to the lens material to form a colored lens, but the lens, the 'two-passing step b and the package may be discolored after being sterilized, or even colorless. [Invention] Based on the above-mentioned conventional knowledge Disadvantages of the method of forming colored contact lenses, the object of the present invention is to provide a color paste for coloring contact lenses, which can precisely control the color of the coloring mirror and improve the color fixing effect of the colored lens. The present invention is used for coloring contact lenses. The color paste comprises a toner, a resin and a solvent ft powder, wherein the 'toner powder can be selected from the reaction blue No. 4 toner, the reaction blue 9 toner and the reaction blue No. 21 toner; the resin can be It is selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin and secret resin; the solvent can be propylene glycol monomethyl-acetic acid § (pgmea): a combination of diacetone alcohol (ΜΑ) or a combination of propylene glycol monoethyl ether B and cyclohexanone; The dispersing agent is an oleophilic interface containing an amine group. Hereinafter, the manufacturer of the coloring paste for coloring contact lenses of the present invention will be described. The color powder, the resin, the solvent and the dispersing agent are placed in a grinding pot of a ball mill for about 12 hours. Then, sample for particle size analysis, preferably flat:: less than 1 micron. 'If the average particle size measured is too large, increase::, reduce the average particle size. In addition, if the viscosity of the color paste is insufficient, it can add color. The content of the powder or the resin is increased to increase the viscosity. The following describes the process of using the contact lens of the present invention, which includes the 326\patent specification (supplement)\95-12\TF954523 6 200827815. a) providing the color taste of the present invention; (b) providing a polymer monomer for making a contact lens; (c) mixing the color paste and the polymer monomer to form a colored prepolymer. (d) will be in the form of a fluid The prepolymer is injected into the master mold (or concave) Plastic mold) 'then press the male mold (or convex plastic mold) and the master mold with prepolymer; σ (e) to carry out a plasticizing process; (〇 cooling the male mold and the contact lens in the female mold, then Taking out the contact lens; " (g) placing the taken contact lens into the hydration box, then hydrating the contact lens 1 to 2 times; and (h) sealing the _ lens. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the description of the preferred embodiments. Paste, method of preparation, 50% by weight of Reactive Blue No. 4 toner, 10% by weight of acrylic tree, 10% by weight of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, 2% by weight of acetone, and 10% by weight of acetol The lipophilic interface is a d 1 〇 weight 1% placed in the grinding pot of the ball mill, the grinding time is about 12 hours 'and the grinding method can be intermittent operation, such as grinding for 15 minutes, pause for 15 minutes' or continuous action. After the grinding operation is completed, the sample is subjected to particle size analysis, and the preferred average particle diameter is less than i micrometer. If the average particle diameter measured by the amount 326\patent specification (supplement)\95-12\TF954523 7 200827815 is too large, the amine is increased. A oleophilic surfactant to reduce its average particle size. In addition, if the viscosity of the color paste is insufficient, the content of the acrylic resin is increased to increase the viscosity. The present invention provides a process for using a contact lens using the color paste of the present invention, which comprises the steps of: firstly, providing a color paste of the present invention and a liquid polymer monomer for manufacturing a contact lens; The liquid polymer monomer (4) of the paste and the lens are hooked to form a colored pre-form; the object 'then then injects the fluid-like pre-polymer into the master mold (or concave plastic cookware)' and then presses the male mold ( Or a convex plastic mold) and a master mold with pre-aggregated characters. However, the plastic lens is used to make a contact lens, and the fluid-like prepolymer is placed in a hot bellows. a specific temperature of the wind for baking - expected to be cured after the formation of - contact lenses and then use room temperature to cool the contact lens in the male and female molds, the work or demoulding device to remove the contact lens, will The removed contact lens is placed in a hydration box, and then the contact lens is subjected to a hydration process to 2 times, that is, immersed in a buffer solution, so that the hidden lens absorbs water to form a water gel, and is extracted and colored. Glue residue, in hydration
