I believe the contact lenses which lighten the color of your eyes are called
opaque lenses. They work by being opaque (e.g. with a blue coating) except for
a clear part in the center for the pupil to look through.

I don't see myself wearing mirror-finish lenses, but if photosensitive lenses
came out I would get a pair so that I could dispense with sunglasses. If they
can make photosensitive eyeglasses, I don't see why they can't make
photosensitive lenses.
