My thesis was exactly about this. We even had a lab course in which we used paper printouts of irises with holes poked in the center(so that light reflections on the cornea were captured) - that's how easy fooling those systems used to be.

The iris is constantly slightly changing its size, so with such contact lenses you can expect to be suspect no 1.

Disposable/mass-produced colored contacts tend to slide around a bit due to poor fit, so going just by apparent pupil size wouldn't work

So millions of people would be suspect no. 1. Seems like good odds to me.

"such" contact lenses. Specialized. Nobody's wearing these today.

Nobody's wearing colored contacts? That's really interesting.

Nobody's wearing contacts with irises printed on them.

Colored contacts don't fool it.
