This corrects eye appearance problems or beauty. [Prior Art] U.S. Patent No. 4,652,099 proposes a contact lens having a white portion around it. However, it is often impossible to obtain a lens that can make the appearance of the eye natural or desired only by whitening the portion. The lens of the present invention solves this problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a contact lens having a central portion and a surrounding portion disposed around the central portion. The surrounding portion is patterned in a bright color and has a gradual to transparent outer diameter of the lens. The surrounding portion of the bright color may be opaque, semi-opaque or translucent near the surrounding portion and may include a color (limus) margin or margin ring. This bright portion extends from the edge of the edge to the surrounding area, producing a brighter or whiter sclera effect. Together with the edge ring, it provides a contrasting effect and contributes to the overall effect of a brighter or whiter sclera. In another aspect of the invention, the area surrounding the contact lens is colored in a geometric pattern. The lenses of the present invention have a natural appearance. 201243425 [Embodiment] The lens of the present invention has a pattern which enhances the appearance of the sclera of the lens wearer. The lenses may also include edge ring patterns that form an iris that appears larger or deeper or more distinct. In addition, the lenses of the present invention may have additional pattern elements that completely or partially cover the wearer's iris. The 'edge ring' is an endless ribbon that partially or completely overlies the lens wearer's wheel or sclera to the cornea when the lens is on the eye and in the center. The innermost edge of the edge ring or closest to the geometric center of the lens can form a circle having a diameter of from about 8 mm to about 12 mm, preferably from about 11 mm to about 13 mm, which is aligned with the geometric center of the lens. . The ring may have any suitable width, and is preferably a width of from about 0.5 to about 2.5 mm, more preferably a width of from about 〇75 to about 2 〇〇 mm. The center portion contains the area that covers the iris when worn. The center portion can therefore also be colored and contain a ring. Preferably, both the iris and the edge ring are patterned in accordance with U.S. Patent No. 7,246,9,3, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such coloring essentially includes a triangular shaped structure, similar to spokes, extending from the innermost edge of the edge ring toward the center of the lens geometry. The one end tapered spar may, but preferably does not extend beyond the iris portion of the entire lens, i.e., the portion of the lens overlying the iris when the lens is on the eye and at the center. It should be noted that it is preferred that the spoke extends inwardly from the innermost edge of the edge ring such that the innermost edge of the spoke pattern is located at about 6 5 mm 4 201243425 = _ or more from the geometric center of the slice. The spokes can be shaped and sized and have a length of about 2 to about 2 mm. For invisible eye: it is circular 'but can be any suitable - center ln / shape' such as elliptical or truncated. The lens η extends to and from (four) minutes u. A portion around the central portion and having an inner peripheral edge - a surrounding portion 2 配置 is disposed. The Zhouyuan 1 knife has - inside # 21 and a secluded? ? , Ganzi must be with the outside of the lens. It can be, but not, must be colored, 2 〇 is bright. "Bright color" is defined as white light green $ ΗΛ white & light yellow, light blue, light pink, and sclera. The bright gamma (10) and the wearer may also have a rim ring or pattern 13 (Fig. 2). .... The file 20 is based on the color of the present invention to enhance the appearance of the sclera. The coloring of the portion around the lens can be opaque, translucent, or somewhere in between (semi-opaque). It is not necessarily a uniform color, but in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, it is preferred to provide an attractive, natural appearance by providing a sclera to enhance its appearance. "Opacity" for these purposes means a color having an average transmittance (% T) of light having a wavelength of from 380 to 780 nm ranging from 0 to about 50% T, preferably from 疋7 to about 50% T. "Translucent" for these purposes means that the average transmittance (% τ) of light having a wavelength of 380 to 780 nm ranges from about 50 to about 85% ', preferably from about 65 to about 85%. . 201243425 Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the invention in which a gradient from the surrounding inner diameter 21 to the peripheral outer diameter 22 is == transparent or transparent, and the edge ring 13. Medium + = = = two fruit on the eye effect is covered: enhanced bright and solid and dark edge ring pair =, iris pattern and painted white around = = suitable width or pattern. The edge ring can be translucent or opaque. The middle portion 11 is usually 10·13 mm in diameter, and preferably has a diameter greater than 11 mm. Figure 3 shows the lens of the present invention having a geometric pattern applied to the surrounding shell color. In this case, the pattern appears in a circular configuration that is removed from the surface of the lens (otherwise, in white), causing the circles to contact their adjacent circles in a tangential direction. It can also be regarded as a cross-shaped bright color structure of a plurality of courses formed by their circles. The pattern containing the geometric shapes can be formed from a regular shape structure or a plurality of random dots or shapes as seen in FIG. Any other suitable shape that exhibits a realistic or enhanced tone feel can be used, particularly a geometric shape that achieves the desired hue or chromaticity. The dots used in the pattern of the present invention may be of any size, and preferably have a diameter of from about 0.060 to about 0.180 mm, more preferably from about 〇·〇〇75 to about 〇·〇π5 mm. Small dots contribute to the fusion of the edges of the different components of the lens. 6 201243425 In any of the patterns of the invention, the center is preferably clarified. However, the central portion can be a translucent or opaque color or an area of any combination of opaque and translucent colors. When used in a lens to reinforce or alter the wearer's eye color, it is preferred that the edge ring member is a solid ribbon that covers the color of the lens wearer's edge region, and more preferably the cover color is an opaque color. The remaining components, ie spokes, dots and other graphic elements, may be translucent or opaque depending on the desired cosmetic results on the eye. The color selected as the edge of the ring and the iris pattern element is determined by the natural color of the lens wearer's iris and the desired enhancement or color change. Thus, the elements can be of any color, including but not limited to any of a variety of shades and shades of blue, green, gray, brown, dark yellow, red, or combinations thereof. Preferred colors of the edge ring include, but are not limited to, any of a variety of shades and shades of black, brown, gray, blue, and dark green. The bright color elements comprising the surrounding portion can be pure white, nearly white, off-white, light yellow, light blue, light pink, light green, or any combination of the above. Preferably, it is commensurate with no abrupt contrast with the visible portion of the sclera that is not covered by the lens. These colors are preferably obtained by using a higher amount of Ti02 to produce greater opacity and contrast. Pigments added include, but are not limited to, small amounts of iron oxide black, iron oxide brown, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide red, titanium dioxide, and the like, and combinations thereof to adjust the whitener colored elements. In addition to these pigments, soluble and insoluble dyes can be used, including but not limited to 201243425, which are limited to dioxetazine and vinylsulfone dyes. A preferred embodiment is a colorant having 10% to 20% TiO 2 and 80% to 90% clear binder polymer to provide a suitable translucent color. In general, the coloring elements can be made from any organic or inorganic pigment suitable for use in contact lenses or a combination of such pigments. Opacity can be controlled by varying the concentration of pigment and titanium dioxide used, with higher amounts achieving greater opacity. Exemplary organic pigments include, but are not limited to, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine, carbazole violet, reduced orange ι & buckle (10) brown #丨), and combinations thereof. Examples of useful inorganic pigments include, but are not limited to, iron oxide black, iron oxide brown, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide red, titanium dioxide, and the like, and combinations thereof. In addition to these pigments, soluble and insoluble dyes may be used including, but not limited to, -milk. Qin and B fine dyes. Useful dyes are commercially available. The dye or pigment selected from the ear can be combined with one or more of the prepolymer or the viscous material to form the translucent and opaque layer colorant of the present invention. You can also use the sputum additive in contact lenses. Viscosity, mouth, solvent and other additives which can be used in the color layer of the present invention are known and are commercially available or known in the art. The piece can be applied or printed onto - or a plurality of surfaces of the lens: on a plurality of surfaces, wherein the lens forms in the mold. In forming the design x method including the present invention, an 8 201243425 ^ optical mold made of any suitable material, including but not limited to a cyclic poly such as poly(tetra) or polystyrene resin, is used. The component is placed on the desired portion of the molding surface of the mold.
