The invention relates to a contact lens for pseudoaphakic eyes and/or eyes with macular and retinal degeneration. The inventive lens is characterised in that it is produced by applying a filter with yellow pigmentation to a standard contact lens in order to protect the eyes from short wavelengths in the visible spectrum (less than 500 nm). The invention removes the difficulties and risks associated with existing techniques used to provide protection for cataract-operated eyes and improved protection for eyes undergoing neurodegenerative processes simply with the use of a contact lens. The invention combines a standard contact lens and a yellow pigmentation filter which absorbs short wavelengths of between 350 and 500 nm, both of which are suitable for use in relation to the human eye.
