Totally O/T: Colored Contacts

hey guyz i have been getting contacts for like the last year and a half and i have perfect vision....They are from trycolorcontacts.com and they are the freshlook dimensions... here is the link    http://www.store.yahoo.com/trycolorcontacts/di mensions.html
I always gets comments on how people think my eyes are so BLUE!! they are naturally blue but i enhane them but these change ur eye color too...I have gotten them in a ton of colors..they are $20 for a pair...but ive had mine for like a couple months...But i dont wear them everyday..they are awesome...I used to have the ultra violet ones...where they were solid like neon purple and they freaked people out...but were fun...but they cost some $$$$  but try the ones i linked!! goodluck....

When I went for my eye exam last time i mentioned to the doc I wanted to try color lenses and he let me try a whole bunch of colors on the spot and then pick the ones I liked best for him to get me a free pair of (they are two week disposiables) in my prescription.  I ended up getting the blue for two weeks and deciding that on second though I'd go with the ones that made my medium brown eyes light brown.

I also think they wear different than clear lenses (which I've had for 13 years).  But most of the time i just wear my glasses anyhow so I could be wrong...

These really are the best colored lenses I have ever seen, and I've used a lot! http://www.aclens.com/contact_lens_forums/toast.asp?sub=show &action=posts&fid=1&tid=2150

OH MY GOD!!!! Those blue eyes look more natural on her than her own!!
But what about her hair? What's she wearing there, I wonder? It looks pretty.

You take her contacts, I want her figure!

 

I didn't realize you could change dark brown eyes so well, I never considered it, thanks for the thread and pics :)

Hey, something I can help Jenny with!
I wear green tinted contacts by "for eyez", been using them for ages. Personally I find them comfortable. I have muddy blue coloured eyes for real and green goes with my skin-tone and hair.
Don't know if you can get "for eyez" in your part of the world, but there will be something similar.
Good luck trying contacts!

how come celebrities dont wear colored contacts? The only 2 celebs I know of that do are Paris Hilton and Lil Kim. It seems strange that they are the only ones.

Are these elegance opaques the only opaques on the market? are they better than freshlook in that they make the eyes look lighter than the freshlook or in that they feel more comfortable?

I'm thinking about getting gray.

Alyssa have you used those?

I think I neeeeeeeed the baby blue ones....

Wow! Does everyone on this site wear contacts? This is all great information--thanks to everyone who responded.

SPP: Nah...I'm not Scottish, actually--just a watered-down Italian-English-American mix. But I was getting a bit bored of my user pic and came across this cool pic of Sir Sean online....

:)

I tried the freshlook colored contacts once. I couldn't wear them because they were too thick and bothered my sensitive eyes. I only need correction in one eye, so the one that normally wore a contact was fine, but the other one was really irritated by the colored lens. Of course, I gave up on the one contact after 6 months because it bothered me. Now, three years later, I've started again, and there have been improvements in the technology, so the clear ones at least are more comfy.

I tried blue ones on my dark brown eyes, and it looked creepy and unnatural, but green ones looked hazel, which was nice. They just bothered me too much to wear longer than 30 minutes. Since your eyes aren't super dark to begin with, the tinted ones might work, and they're probably thinner.

And, Jenny, call around a few places for the cost of a contact lens fitting....they can really vary from place to place.

I was at the optomterists on Saturday and besides new frames I also ordered regular toric (for astig) and green tori - without a prescription in them. Just to see what I'd look like

With all this red hair, my medium brown/goldy eyes arent cutting it. :)

I like my eyes, I just want choices.
