/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Nope not at all becuase the states deem circle lenses to need a prescription and I guess it became to much of a hassle for pp?


Also on a new note; I was just diagnosed with karetacous in my right eye and I unsure if I am able to wear circle lenses.... I only wear the specficiclly for cosplay. Anyone else have it and know? Thank.

What other contact places will sell them then? The circle lenses.

>>9389584
You could try Uniqso or HoneyColor.

Never really worn contacts. Any advice?

>>9390372
Theyre a detail in cosplay that can be the tipping point from being a normie cosplayer and a badass looking one.

>>9390372
Go to an optometrist.

Does anyone know a good place for toric (astigmatism) lenses that ships to the US? I'm so sick of the same like 5 lenses. :(

honeycolor is the same thing and they are a very good alternative

I have a little problem, I only have an eye with correction and it's really low, too low for toric ( -0.25 astigmatism, 0.50 myopia). If I should take lenses with correction, should I take some plano or lense with 0.50 correction only ?

>>9390511
What can you do to step up your cosplay if you can't wear lenses? My eyes are weird and I'm unable to.

Any reccomendations for realistic looking red contacts that aren't circle lenses? Trying to avoid the cartoony/Halloween-kind.

>>9391818
Particularly good makeup would make up for a lack of lenses imo

>>9389572
After seeing a post here I decided to try the i-dol queen series from 19ninety-six. These lenses are by far the best at brightening that I've ever tried! The only complaint I'd have is that the placement of the pupil hole seems slightly too low, but I also have a slight astigmatism and these lenses aren't correcting it so that may be a cause of the problem? I haven't really seen any other reviews for these lenses so I'm not sure if this applies to everyone or not.
Overall, great color effects, would definitely recommend.

>>9389572
>>9389579
They've said they're in the midst of going through the process of getting them legally approved to sell/ship to the US to avoid legal issues. They just have to prove they meet certain safety standards and regulations and get that approval before they resume shipping to the states, but dont know how long the process will take

>>9391920
You should probably not be wearing those if you have astigmatism though? You could end up scratching your cornea and literally going blind, because the lenses don't fit on your eye properly, because your eye is misshapen.

>>9391995
it's a veeery slight astigmatism - cleared it with my eye doctor first!

So I ordered a few pairs of lenses from Geo Coloured Lenses, which is a pretty reputable seller. Try one pair on and while one of them is completely fine the other is uncomfortable, like something is stuck in my eye. So I take them out to take a look and the uncomfortable lens has a bunch of "bumps" in it. It was like this right when I took it out of the packaging! Is there any way I can get a refund or anything? Feels pretty shit.

I have an optometrist friend who is pretty anti-circle lens. Although materials are FDA approved, you can actually prescribe them in the USA, which technically makes selling them illegal. I guess most sites get around this by saying "oh we'll send a verification request to your eye doctor, but if they don't respond in 12 hours we'll assume they prescribed it!"

She recommended the Acuvue Define dailies-- has anyone used them? They don't do color changing, but they do make the iris bigger.

>>9393417
I would contact your seller about it.

Once I had a lens arrive with the vial broken and shattered. I simply let my seller know and took a picture for them and they resent one asap.

>>9389572
I apologize in advance for what may be a stupid question:
I've always had issues wearing circle lenses on my LEFT eye. For some reason, it always bothers, stings or irritates my eye immediately after I get it in. I look carefully at the contact to make sure it's not bent backwards.
My question is, is there any way to fix this?

>>9393533
Go see an optometrist, your eye might just be shaped differently (like when people have astigmatism) so that could affect how lenses feel on you?

>>9393550
Will the optometrist be able to do something about it?

>>9393579
If you have astigmatism they can tell you what sizes you need to get for each eye. I don't think you can "fix" astigmatism itself..

>>9391920
Wow, that's a really incredible effect. So natural!

Can someone recommend a vivid blue/green lens which lacks a cut-out peephole (so it'll work on light eyes) and doesn't have an overly thick limbal ring?

>>9393533
I have the same problem, but the irony is that it's my right eye who have astigmatism but my left eye have a perfect vision.
Like said before, seeing an optometrist is still the number one thing to do, If it's note this at least ask him to have some eye drop for contact lense wearer/ for dry eyes, it help a lot.

>>9393579
The optometrist can give you your prescription (including your astigmatism prescription) and you can get eye contacts that will fit your eye. Also optometrists do contact fittings where they see if a certain pair of contacts are sitting well with your eyes. I do contact fittings for my normal lenses when I want to try a new brand with my optometrist.

I'm just using astigmatism as an example though, there could be something else so go to the optometrist if you really want to get to the bottom of it.

>>9393491
I've been wearing them. I find them far more comfortable than even GEO hydragel ones. In the US only three seem to be available: Shimmer, Sparkle, and Shine. In Asia there are two or three other ones. My optometrist let me try all three and I picked the Shine one since it's the most enlarging. I don't want to wear them everyday though since they are hella expensive.

>>9390811
Seconding this, they'll get you fitted properly and teach you safety. Eyes are not something you want to fuck around with on your own. Your insurance may even cover costume contacts, mine did.

>>9393673
all contacts have a cutout, otherwise you wouldn't be able to fucking see

>>9393834
Ha ha. What I meant was a design without a hard peephole.

>>9393757
Thanks! I don't intend on wearing them daily, just for meet-ups and stuff. I'm really excited to hear from someone who's tried them and liked them.

Does anyone have any recommendations for super bright blue circle lenses that will show up on dark brown eyes? I think I've tried I.Fairy's Super Crystal Blue (or it might have been Barbie Puffy 3-Tones Blue, i can't remember) but it just looked like a really really dark blue on me. I'm planning a Kanna cosplay and wanted something super bright and kind of a light blue. Thanks!

>>9394237
There already is a spoon-feeding thread why can't you take your annoying questions from being plastered all over /cgl/ and just go to that thread.

>>9393533
Anon I had a similar issue. Turns out I had minor astigmatism in my left eye, but that's basically it. Toric lenses are really expensive, so I can't commit to getting them.

>>9394348
>being this salty about a simple question in an appropriate thread

>>9392004
>>9391995
is that true? I have really slight astigmatism as well, so much so that my doctor didnt even tell me and I only realized it after trying to input my prescription to get glasses. I just got my first lenses, and wore them for a day with no discomfort other than things being 1% blurrier. Should I stop wearing them? Insurance only covers one visit a year.

Also,
>>9391920
I have a similar problem with my uniqso lenses, especially in my "worse" eye, but I think it just makes it blurrier bc a tiny bit of the colour is over the pupil

>>9394348
Anon, this is a contact lense thread and I was just asking about contact lenses. Not sure how that wouldn't belong in this thread.

I know samhain lenses is reputable but I wanna know about gull's experiences with them, especially if anyone has had a custom sclera or mini sclera designs made because that's what I'm doing.
I'm having an eye exam next week to get a prescription and then I'm sending it in so they'll be done in time for Halloween.

>>9391995
>>9394366

Totally depends on the severity of the astigmatism that a person has. If you have a very minor astigmatism, eye doctors often just prescribe regular spherical contact lenses. If you are finding your cylinder measurement is over -1.00, that's kind of the point where you will start to get crisper, clearer vision with toric lenses. If your cylinder measurement is under that, the "benefit" of wearing torics is sort of negligible.

Also, if you are into larger diameter lenses, those tend to have slightly flatter base curves anyway so you may be able to comfortably wear them. I have what they classify as "moderate" astigmatism in both eyes, but was okayed to wear color circle lenses for 6-8 hours a day for a weekend, a few times a year. So it depends highly on your own situation and what your eye doc is cool with.

Anyone know where I can buy single circle lenses?
Or somewhere where I can get a pair with two different colours? (i.e. left eye blue, right eye green kinda thing?)

>>9395230
Bought from them before. Beautiful comfortable lenses. I didn't get a custom design but I'm sure you'll be happy. I recommend them for sclera needs, definitely worth saving up for since they are expensive.

Whats absolute brightest most noticeable red circle lenses out there? that arent those halloween ones that are just red rings.
I own super pinky bright red, theyre pretty bright but id like something even more noticable. i was also eye-ing "Dolly Eye Twilight Red" pic related, but im unsure if they'll be this bright irl

>>9395916
In my experience the Dolly Eye series has been extremely uncomfortable and dry. I do not recommend them

>>9394237
Seconding this. I'm debating between ifairy Tofi blue, and a couple of ICK lenses, which is a brand I've never tried. Dolly Eye would be the default that people use, but I want a larger diameter.

>>9395722
my eyes are -0.50 and -0.75, and wearing circle lenses for around 6 hours didn't bother me at all, except I could tell my eyes used more effort to focus. Honestly I mostly forgot they were there.

>>9395916
I have blue eyes and the super pinky bright red are great for my eyes. Very vibrant.

>>9395722
>-5.5, -5 with irregular astigmatism chiming in.
My eye doc couldn't prescribe torics, assured me that using the same month-life contacts for 2 months of wear was fine as long as I let the contacts soak for longer periods in between uses.
I dual wield glasses and contacts, my astigmatism is so bad that they don't make torics for me, the fine detail blur is just operation costs at this point if I choose to go the contact route. Can't not notice them either.
I was told not to try with wider diameters, full scelera is out of my grasp.
>sadness

>>9390511
Can confirm, saw a badass Ashe at a con some months ago, she used contacts. She definitely paid attention to detail.

>>9389579
Do you mean...keratoconus? My condolences anon. Husband has it and it's a special kind of hell for him as it's progressed quite far, but not far enough for our healthcare to cover the fix.

And as for lenses...talk to your optometrist. What happens with keratoconus is that your cornea will become more pointy (cone shaped as name implies) over time. Regular lenses will stop adhering to your eyes properly at some point and will just fall out. Furthermore, soft lenses won't correct your vision properly either, as the changes to your cornea cause distortions in vision and can only be fixed with rigid lenses. (Or in the case of my husband, a rigid centre with a soft outside lens, because even hard lenses pop right the fuck out of his poor tortured eyes). If it's in the early stages you might be ok but you won't be able to wear them at all eventually.

Also, if you have health insurance to cover it, talk to your doctor about corneal crosslinking. It's a procedure that will strengthten your cornea and prevent it from warping as fast, and could slow the progress of the disease.

Best of luck anon.

>>9397107
I second this. Greyish green eyes, and they show up quite vibrant, and unless you're outdoors where it's super bright, your natural colour won't be too conspicuous either.

>>9395916
Any recommendations for red contacts for dark eyes that look more natural than those Halloween ones cosplaylab used to have?

>>9398447
My sister tried those one : http://www.uniqso.com/big-eyes-circle-lenses/red-circle-lenses/geo-xtra-wtb38-red-a-k-a-diamond-series

they are not the most natural looking ( I never saw red lens branded as natural lookin ) but on dark eye they are more subtil than most red circle lens


Also when I was searching them I saw that uniqso make discount on some sclera and Halloween contact lens

Yesstyle still ships to the US, they carry Geo only, sold individually. I paid maybe $40 for four pairs with shipping. They marked the package as a gift of "cloth" on the customs form. If you've never been fitted for contacts, you should. You will likely find out your vision is shit and actually need a prescription. Also good to know because contact lenses have different base curves and can affect the fit and Safety.

>>9389579
>>9398266

my sister has it. it's awful & we can't afford shit :'(

Anyone with small eyes try the Vassen Max Elegance Tri-Tone line? All the reviews I see are of white people eyes, but I have tiny Asian monolid eyes so idk if the 15.0 mm diameter will be too big and make me look like a bug.

>>9398276
;__; the only red lenses that worked for my blue eyes

Been using regular colored contacts, but want to try circle lenses (eyes are -4.75, -5.75).

What's a good brand which will give me a very bright and shiny blue color?

I don't want a solid blue color cause my eyes are quite dark normally so it'll look really fuckin shit, and won't be noticeable in bad lighting.

currently checking out pinky paradise (hoping htey ship in UK).

>>9401076

whats your opinion on

https://www.pinkyparadise.com/GEO-Xtra-WBS-202-Bella-Blue-p/a8-wbs202.htm

They say it's such a strong blue color it will easily beat my shitty dark colored natural eyes.

I've always had issues where flourescent or good(ie the bathroom in a nightclub) lighting would seriously make my eyes look good, but yellow/warm lights are fucking cancer.

>>9401045
my eyes are sort of middling-light but I've been wearing circle lenses for about five years and out of all the different styles I've bought, I have to say that the most brilliantly pigmented ones have been the EOS Ice lenses and I.Fairy Super Crystals.
The EOS is a slightly more natural diameter, whereas the I.Fairy ones are fucking enormous, but I prefer the blending in the EOS lenses because it looks much more natural.

>>9401147

yeah the super fairy looks nice but i can't wear that as a guy, they're fuckin massive lol

>>9401094
they're kind of cartoony-looking in my opinion
which is fine if that's what you're going for, like if you're a cosplayer. I tend to prefer lenses with a much thinner limbal ring or none at all, pic related.

>>9401162

my eyes are rather dark, so whatever looks cartoony or exaggerated to lighter eyed people will look great on me, and whatever looks good/natural on you will only look good on me if I have flattering lighting(otherwise it's not very noticeable).

>>9401168
uh...yeah. the asian model in the link you provided clearly has dark eyes, too, but they look cartoony on her because the limbal rings are super thick (look at photos of real limbal rings to compare) and also they don't blend into the iris at all, so they're not any more convincing than the contacts in >>9401045
where you can see the brown of your iris behind the opaque 'ring' of color.
if you're in a poorly lit environment, people probably won't notice, but if you get into a place with better lighting (or if you take a photo with flash), it'll be really obvious.
but uh, if you really love them then you should just go with your gut and probably not trouble yourself asking for other people's advice.

>>9401204

yeah I can see your point, I'm not trying to pretend to be natural anyway(just not look super exaggerated), when people ask if the eye colour's natural I just tell em the truth.

I've also had an eye for these which are a tad less cartoony but still strongly blue/light blue

https://www.pinkyparadise.com/GBT-Sky-p/c14-gbt-sky.htm
https://www.pinkyparadise.com/G-G-Shinny-Aqua-p/b4-shinnyaq.htm
https://www.pinkyparadise.com/Super-Blue-p/g15-s.pinky-bl.htm

also would like to try green but it's waaaaay harder to find a bright green effect on brown eyes compared to blue/aqua.

makes me kind of jealous, lighter eyed people look amazing with emerald green lenses.

>>9401234
The Shinny Aqua are my favorites out of these, I've bought a pair of those before so I can vouch for the quality. they are more of a turquoise than a straight-up sky-blue, but I like the fact that the design includes partial heterochromia (the lighter brown ring towards the center) which will help it merge into a brown iris more subtly. The Sky ones would be my second choice probably.
Have you checked out the Geo Nudy Golden Blues? Those & the Neo Princess Sky Blues are really striking on dark eyes.

>>9398447
I ordered a pair of Neo Sunflower Hazel recently. From the pics I've seen, they look like they're supposed to be a slightly reddish brown. I'll post pics later if you're interested.

>>9398266
Yes yes that is it!
I am lucky enough that its only in my right eye and the bubble formed right below my cornea, my optometrist said I am pretty lucky to only have it in one eye and just below the cornea so he said he doesn't see a future problem with it. It just sucks. Like my eye is always irritated. I am lucky to live in Canada though where I am on my husbands benefit plan so my eye doctor appointments are covered by the government and my husbands plan will cover new glasses and contacts every 2 years.

I am thinking of cross link but because its still "experimental" its not covered by the government and would cost a fortune up here to get done. So I might just have to live with it sadly...

Urg it sucks because I loved wearing circle lenses for cosplay...

>>9401234
I heard the GBT sky ones work well

what yellow/light brown ones do you guys recommend for blue eyes? I was looking at the super pinky hazel ones.

>>9402186
We're in Canada too. (Un?)fortunately, his eyes aren't bad enough for a corneal transplant but mostly too bad for rigid lenses. And as far as crosslinking goes, he got into a study to possibly get it done for free but they ended up telling him that his eyes are too crappy by their standards for an implant and that they'll do crosslinking, essentially freezing his eyes in their current shitty state. He said no thanks and we're currently trying to save up. Or maybe OHIP will start covering it before then, idk. Apparently there's been tremendous progress there since he got diagnosed a few years back so here's hoping. At they're covering the optometrist appointments.

I hope it doesn't get too bad for you anon, and that you'll be able to wear the lenses again some day (or at least be pain free in general...the eye irritation really sucks, it's clear just from being around my husband and seeing what he has to put up with).

Help me cgl, I need new blue lenses for princess parties

Can anyone recommend anything that doesn't add a ton of diameter? My last pair wad Super Pinky blue and the color was gorgeous but it gave me kota eyes

>>98% of the time kids don't notice the wrong eye color but I like to look super dedicated

>>9403473
What diameter do you want? And how bright blue?

Has anyone had any experience with 19ninety-six's return/defective lenses policy? On their terms & conditions page, (5) says that they aren't liable for any defective lenses and to check before unsealing it. I recently got my order from them and everything looked fine in the bottles but once I took it out, I saw that there was a chip in the lenses (pic related). I know they're on rest until sometime in April, but I was planning on sending them a message about it to see if they can do anything. If not, I'll just have to wait and order a new pair.

>>9403473
G&G GBT Sky

They look really natural.

Any good sales going on right now?

>>9410300
uniqso has a new site now - uniqso2u
they're offering 15% off on your first order there
they also have 50% on some contacts

>>9410244
Well my prescription diameter is 4.2 so something closer to that then Super Pinky's 4.8

>>9410298
Thanks anon! Those look awesome, I was about to buy them but they're actually a smaller diameter than my prescription :0

I'm assuming that means they won't fit safely??

What are the best lenses for dry eyes? Inga used super pinky before and they worked well, but I don't like how unnatural they look. I recently got some geo Bella lenses and they look really nice, but they irritate my eyes so much I had to get rid of them. I don't know minor was those specific lenses, or that brand, but I'm hesitant to try them again.

I need lenses available in -6.00 and -6.50 as well, which throws another monkey wrench in.

Hey guys, I hope you can help me. Some time ago I bought the eos dolly eye brown lenses, which were my first lenses ever. When I finally decide to try them on, automatically my head starts hurting, near the area between my eyebrows. I had to take the lens inmediatly because the pain was unbearable, almost like a very intense migraine. Has anyone ever experienced the same? I suffer from dry eyes, but I don't think that's the reason. Also, my sight is perfect. Help?

Does anyone know of any contacts that are a more pink tone of purple than a blue tone? I need a pinkish kind of purple and all the purple contacts I've tried tend to look more blue-grey.

>>9414934
A straight out purple one would be EOS Blytheye purple - really great for cosplay, I love my pair. It comes in two sizes too - 14.2mm or 14.5mm

Im kinda new to /cgl/ so I hope this is the right place to ask this but, Im trying to make a cosplay for 2D from Gorillaz, does anyone know where I could get contacts like his eyes?

>>9415910
Look for sclera contacts. Those kind aren't cheap, and they're more uncomfortable than regular contacts.

>>9415919
Fucking hell, that's quite a bit

>>9414827
Do you mean your base curve, anon? If you usually wear a 4.2, chances are that 4.8 won't sit on your eyes very well. I'd probably consult your optician/optometrist to check if you're super set on them.

>>9414882
I've got really dry eyes too. What I find really works for me are the airily daily contacts, which come in a pack of 10! They're gorgeous and come in high scripts as well. I haven't tried them personally, but i'm pretty sure anything made of silicone hydrogel will probably be a lot more comfy for you too (like GEO's Eyevelyn)

>>9414918
Do you still have the bottles, anon? It's possible they accidentally sent you ones with prescription, which might explain the eye strain.

Some days I'm better than others with coloured contacts. Would putting in eye drops to refresh/wet my eyes be a bad idea while I'm wearing them? I don't know how long I'd be wearing them at my next convention, could be anywhere from 6-10 hours.

>>9416154
As long as they're drops meant specifically for soft lenses, you should be fine.

https://www.honeycolor.com/new-twilight-yellow-horror-lens

Does anyone know if any other retailer sells This? I'm trying to get some good contacts for Lucoa, but apparently Honeymoon won't restock it for two months, and that's cutting it close for AX

How do you get around honey color's rx rule?

>>9418279
What? Is this an April Fool's joke? HC doesn't require a prescription

>>9418311
I thought you have to give doctor info?

>>9418279
I really hope this isn't a requirement. I placed an order. I wasn't required to submit information but my order hasn't shipped yet.

>>9418279
>>9418311
https://www.honeycolor.com/help/rx-verification

I haven't ordered from HoneyColor recently so I'm not too sure if it's seriously being implemented, but if you have no other option, you could try giving them a "fake" number to call for verification?

>"The verification process takes 12 hours and if no response received from your eye doctor, your prescription will be assumed as valid and your order will be processed and shipped."

But someone else could probably give you a more legit alternative.

>>9418279
dont live in murica
same reason why pinkyparadise shut down, those new regulations require it

Any advice for keeping lenses for a long time between uses? I always buy yearlies but usually only use them once or twice, usually within the same week or two, and then they just sit there until I throw them out. If I wanted to use them just a couple times but spaced out over the span of like 7-8 months, how can I make sure I'm taking good enough care of them to keep them safe?

>>9419113
Seconding this. It seems like such a huge waste when I only wear them for cons. But I also don't want to ruin my eyes by being a stubborn idiot.

>>9389572
Daaaaaamn that sucks! I bought a pair of circle lens with prescription and astigmatism from Pinky Paradise and they worked very well. Does anyone know any other circle lens providers that make astigmatism with prescription lenses?

So I bought a pair of lenses from Honeycolor a year ago but I never got around to using them. The bottles are unopened and it says Term of Validity is 2019. Are these safe to use?

>>9419113
The best you can do is to change the liquid now and then so it doesn't evaporate or degrade. That's the only issue you will have from non use

>>9419113
Don't use the free cases from the online sites imo. As a regular contact wearer I am use to the cases I get with my "big brand" contact solution companies like Bausch + Lomb and OptiFree and with those I've never had a problem with lenses drying out. I never even knew lenses could dry out in cases until I used one of the free ones that come with your circle lens purchase. Also, gently rub with your pinky/ring finger and contact solution after you wear and before you let it soak in the case to help lift any makeup residue.

>>9420958
Yes.

>>9420970
>>9421049
Thank you both! I've also managed to find one source that says to change the solution about every 30 days when not being used, that sounds about right but I'll probably try and do it a bit more often than that out of paranoia

If someone want I can make a review with pictures of the " western eyes nada " in peace blue ( from uniqso ), they are realistic blue lens

I want to but some lens from here, it is safe? a lot of friends have them and there wasn't any problem

has anyone ever used eyecandys? are they legit?

>>9421941

Those are Chinese replicas of acuvue Lenses. Hope you don't mind going blind.

Also to anon above, have used eyecandys before and they are fine.

>>9421941
jesus fuck no do not buy contacts on any chinese ecommerce site are you insane? It could turn out to be fine, but you're completely SOL if the contacts scratch your cornea and you get some sort of crazy infection and you go blind.

Please shell out a little more money for contacts from a reputable site.

>>9418279
I ignored that part and got my contacts just fine.

>>9416111
arg I left out a digit, i'm talking diameter 14.2mm vs 14.8mm

like my RX contacts are 14.2mm diameter but those contacts anon recommended are only 14.0 :0 idk how that would work

luckily I'm finding quite a few non-enlarging blue lenses that fit my rx, just have to decide. none of them are very realistic... the most realistic style ones either have splashes of brown or only fade to outwards to blue

>>don't need super realistic lenses but even with the super pinkys I would get the occasional kid saying 'you're eyes look fake'

still shopping for blue non-enlarging lenses if any new anons have any recs :')

>>9415910
on top of them being expensive
scleral lenses require specific measurments and a separate prescription than normal contact lenses

any site selling them without requiring a prescription and only listing the normal bc and diameter isn't trustworthy

>>9422015
Yes!! Used before and it was perfectly fine

>>9422961
Diameter doesn't really matter as far the prescription goes. Only the base curve. For circle lenses, bigger diameter = bigger googly eyes, that's all. Smaller diameter contacts will be more realistic. Regular prescription lenses will be different diameters depending on on the brand, and within the brand they'll probably offer a few different base curves. The base curve measurement is around 4.something. Most circle lenses have 4.6 that I've seen. make sure you know your base curve, cause that's what truly matters. It's what determines how the contact sits on your eye, and not the diameter.

Also if you're still struggling finding a subtle or realisic lens, maybe try to go for regular colour contacts? Something like Freshlook? Those sorts of colour lenses come in montly or daily versions IIRC.

My character has black eyes, but black circle lenses with my already huge eyes just make me look awful. Would choosing a dark grey colour be fine?

Fucking state overreach. I am so sick of the nanny-state coming in and telling me to hand over $150 to a kike with a certificate who works at the mall JUST to have the right to do what I have been doing for years with no problems.

I swear to god America is on its way to becoming Europe-tier

This happened to me after regular ones from my opticians they told me that could happen sometimes and it could mean you need to build a tolerance up, after wearing lenses a few times I havent had the headaches, I've bought my first pair of circle lenses but havent tried them on yet. Hopefully they'll be okay too.

but yeah, jusst make sure you're putting them in right and looking after them properly and they should be okay after a few more times, I remembeer at school my friend brought in circle lenses and had no idea what she was doing and she was SCREAMING in pain but after a few trys she was okay

that's normally what I find works best because the stark black lenses tend to look like alien eyes. either dark grey or dark brown would add some depth and life to them.

Most common base curve is 8.6

>tfw you have shitskin brown eyes
>tfw every blue lense you have turns solid/opaque blue insyead of sparkling light blue

Gonna try out pinkys super violet.

Also anyone had really fast deliveries? 14-21 business days but i got it in the uk under 2 weeks which is like 8 business days

I find some grey/grey-blue lenses work better for a light blue effect than lenses advertised as actual blue.

>>9427978
thanks for the advice anon, I'm blessed to have the standard 8.6 base curve naturally

My only experience with a US brand lense was ones that were discontinued now and they looked soo fake, but the freshlook colors don't seem to look that bad? found pic related

I'm deciding between G&G GBT Sky and one of the freshlook blues now. Theres a lot less photos of the later

super pinky works super well.

I vouch for Super Pinky as well. I love their brand and my eyes are dark brown but the contacts are very vibrant. Here's a comparison picture for you with the super violet contacts on, I hope it helps!

It's actually more of the pharma lobby who is being funded by corporations like Bausch&Laumb and Alcon to lobby the FDA to crackdown on circle lens sellers because they are greedy children who can't stand the idea of foreign markets taking their money. They're such fucking assholes because circle lenses is such a niche market and barely cuts into their profits.

Yes pls

>>9432138
Oh, yeah. Hurr durr. Thanks for the correction anon. I had 4 on my mind because of the diameter.

Np anon! I liked Freshlook when I had the chance to try them out. The colour was vibrant (I tried green and violet, on green eyes) but it didn't look unnatural.

Does anyone have any experience with "Oh, My Lens"? Mostly concerned with order turnaround. Only have about five weeks.

Got these, "dream eyes" brand. Safe? Haven't seen any bad reviews. First time wearing costume contacts, but wear corrective contacts daily (soft, dailies)

What's a list of sites that ship without needing a prescription now? I'm going to miss Honeycolor...
