Circle lenses/Contacts General!

[Anonymous No.8089776]

didnt see one so circle lenses general!
found this photo on tumblr with no source, anybody know what lenses the 2nd one on the right going down is wearing?

[ei666shii !otnRSDkuZA No.8089930]

They are shopped to look like cat eyes. The original lens was probably Geo Super Nudy in blue.

Can someone help me look for black contacts that are not just a solid color and cost less than $23? I would usually go PinkyP, but their new website design annoys me.

Does anyone know what he lenses in the bottom left are? Or any recommendations for light grey lenses. Most of the ones I've seen are quite dark when worn.

[Anonymous No.8090036]

For cosplaying, is it better to have colored circle lenses with enlargement, or just color only, no enlargement?

Also, do you guys prefer a thicker outline around the eyes or a thinner one?

[Anonymous No.8090047]

I went to lens village because they had many pics of the lenses in different lighting so it's easy to see what they look like.

I got the Kimchi Viva blue in october and I used them for Halloween and since that day I look soo much better and "cuter" with them on.

and it's cheaper than going through the eye doctors for prescribed color contacts or through my halloween store the required a prescription through the doctor then the lenses would cost about $75-$90 for a pair.

I'm thinking of getting more colors of that brand

[Anonymous No.8090050]

>>8090036
I think it's a personal preference also it depends on your own eyes. Some people like the enlargement and need/want it for their eyes to pop in photos whereas other may look way too alien-ish.

I assume you are referring to the limbal ring around the outer edge of the lenses that sit on your iris border? I like a thicker ring as it helps with enlargement and I have super dark eyes so it kind of just blends in instead of sticking out like a dark black loop.

[ei666shii !otnRSDkuZA No.8090068]

>>8089995
Let's see…I'm trying to keep it below the 23 dollar mark like you said. How about this? Seems to have a better gradient. I also recently purchased the I.Fairy Aura HD lenses from the same site and they are great. They blend well too. Links are from least expensive to most:

Since most circle lenses come in a single size, how many of you are wearing them without having that exact 8.6mm base curve? How far off are you from it? Is it that bothersome?

[ei666shii !otnRSDkuZA No.8091489]

>>8090880
I haven't asked them if they sell single lenses.

>>8090884
The one eye being toric situation pretty much makes it impossible to wear regular circle lenses. It also depends on how bad the astigmatism is.

>>8091034
Technically you can get away with a ±0.2 from 8.6 but even at 8.4 or 8.8 it starts to get a little uncomfortable. I would say matching it exactly or being ±0.1 from 8.6 is the best. Also depends on the base curve to the lens itself. EOS has some 8.8 lenses and some other brands have started making 8.7 ones.

>>8090787
A lot of them have been shopped to hell and back but from what I can see 1 left is GnG Baby Panda Pink, 2 left might be a very shopped version of Dueba Barbie Pink, 3-4 on the left is either Geo Sakura Pink or Vassen Sakura Candy Pink Brown. 5-6 is I.Fairy Moe Moe Brown. Right side 2, 5-7 is probably some version of the Super Nudy Series. Not really sure on 1,3, and 4 on the right side. If I had a bigger image it might help.

Your optician. I never advise anyone to wear lenses without at least getting a vague idea of their base curve and instruction on how to care for contacts properly. Yes it costs money, but so would fucking up your eyes.
There are different materials and sizes as well, material and diameter affects the base curve that fits

[Anonymous No.8091908]

>>8091034
I've been prescribed 8.5-8.6 by the optometrist (different material = slightly different BC apparently). I'm not far off from reg. circle lenses so they're not bothersome. I have had circle lenses that slid around quite a bit though, making me wonder if they really were 8.6.

[Anonymous No.8091932]

Any suggestions for what I could use for Giffany? I can't seem to find a decent dark pink anywhere, everything is pastel..

[Anonymous No.8091964]

>>8090226
See you optometrist first to get fitted, your prescription, and basic how-tos for contact lenses. You can also ask them any newb questions there and actually get a professional answer. They teach you how to put on/take off and general lens care too. If they don't offer it right away then don't be afraid to ask.

>>8090791
It's been there for a while and has past the supposed last day of the sale so there's no telling.

>>8090884
I believe torics usually come as a pair unless otherwise stated. I'm sure some stores who would bother to make the request to the manufacture could do it but I'm not sure who actually does. I would buy a pair in torics and buy a single for the other eye or buy a pair of both so you have twice as long of the use. Torics generally are limited in color tough but all designed of torics come with a non-toric version so you're not completely out of luck.

>>8091034
I've been fitted by 2 different optometrist and the contacts I got from each had a 0.1 bc difference and neither of them slid. Circle lenses are generally okay for me and only slide a little if I don't blink for a while but it's not uncomfortable.

[ei666shii !otnRSDkuZA No.8092219]

I'd suggest Max Elegance Tri-Tone Pink. They come out as a more saturated, deeper pink. Plus they are opaque and have great enlargement

Material definitely makes a difference, as does diameter. Most people get away with +/-0.1 in base curve though.

[Anonymous No.8093973]

>>8093937
I've honestly never seen any contacts like this, I suggest just going for a solid color contact with one of the two colors from the eye design (either the color inside or outside the cross). Or if you want the cross that badly you could look around for a good site that has someone who hand paints them.

[Anonymous No.8093999]

>>8093937
A nice vibrant purple with a limbal ring, shoop the bright violet crosses in.

That's how they do it for movie contacts. But to get a custom pair like that would be a the very least $250+

[Anonymous No.8094864]

most comfortable slightly enlarging brown lenses?

my friend from work said neo dali extra, but those are like 15mm. around 14.2mm looks best on me, so i was thinking of trying neo dali chocolate brown or something similar.

the last pair i ordered was based on a lot of good reviews i saw on blogspot and youtube, but it wasn't as comfortable as other lenses i have worn. i don't remember the name, though.

tl;dr recommendations for comfortable, everyday enlarging brown lenses?

Are you not okay to wear regular lenses? Mild astigmatism doesn't always require torics, but you may compromise vision.

Also, any recs on somewhat natural-patterned light green lenses, maybe with a large diameter?

[Anonymous No.8098774]

>>8091034
yeah like others have said you should definitely try to be within .1 of the listed base curve. mine is 8.6 myself and one time i accidentally bought a pair without looking at the bc, i think it was 8.8 and it was pretty uncomfortable/got a little dizzy.

for some reason I've always missed the i.fairy link in previous threads, i'm glad i'm seeing it now because the i.fairy brand lenses have some pretty cool designs, totally gotta get the i.fairy caspers! they also have some brands i haven't seen on pp, which is nice because i see a lot more nicer turquoise/teal colored lenses than i have on there.

[Anonymous No.8098793]

>>8094900
I mean really, just look at any dark pink colored lenses you like. Circle lenses are mostly created in Korea and Japan, therefore they're specifically made for dark eyes.

To be honest, people really aren't going to care that much about your eye color. It's just a nice addition to a well made cosplay. Since you have some in mind, why don't you just post the specific lenses you have in mind so we can all see?

[Anonymous No.8101293]

>>8100614
kinda annoyed rn because the image cropped makes the contacts look more like the pic showed in the picture. the way i phrased my reply and this one makes it sounds really major lol, honestly it's not too big but when i use these contacts they look a bit more dark than the normal soft pink, i guess it depends on the lighting since my bathroom lighting is strong. it could also be my eye color though since my eyes are green.

[Anonymous No.8101299]

I have had this burning question for ages about the safety of imperfect prescriptions.
On both Honey Color and Pinky Paradise, the prescription increments are at halves after a certain number. If I have one eye that is at a -5.75, is it worth it/safe to go one quarter lower (-5.50) to fit the options listed? What would the difference be?

[ei666shii !otnRSDkuZA No.8101320]

>>8101299
You will not see as well from that eye and it might make you dizzy if the other contact is the correct number. I've personally worn contacts from my doctor that were a quarter step lower and shit was blurry.
