Clear Prescription Lenses
Standard, transparent prescription contact lenses are universally permitted. Because they do not alter the size or color of your iris, the biometric scanner processes your eyes normally.
The Ban on Colored Contacts
Colored contact lenses that change your natural eye color (e.g., changing brown eyes to blue) are strictly illegal in passport photography. Your eye color is a primary biometric identifier printed directly on your passport data page.
The Danger of 'Circle Lenses'
Popular in Asia, 'Circle Lenses' artificially enlarge the appearance of the iris. These are highly illegal for visa photos, as they fundamentally alter the geometric ratio of your iris-to-sclera (the white of the eye).
