You're lucky you can even wear colored contact lenses. I can't even wear colored contact lenses because not only is my astigmatism really really bad (like 170 on one side), my vision is bad also. I really don't think contact lenses of any kind make your vision any worse unless you wear them in a way that is not recommended (like wearing them for LONG periods of time, not taking care of them/cleaning them properly, not washing your hands before putting in contacts, etc.). I've been wearing contact lenses for like 9 years and although my vision has gotten worse (which is normal for most people), it hasn't gotten terribly worse. And once you finish growing, your vision most likely will not change (mine has stayed the same for the past few years), unless it's because of old age.

^ have you tried using acuvue color lenses? They have it for astigmatism
and for people with bad vision (trust me.... mine is really really bad and I
wear color contacts from acuvue)

Oh really? What's the name of it? Because I just checked the Acuvue website and I don't see colored lenses for astigmatism... just Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism & Acuvue Toric Lenses (both non-colored).... and then just regular colored lenses (Acuvue 2 Colours). I know Freshlook Colorblends has toric lenses but I need a higher prescription than they can provide :T Both my eyes are worse than -4.00


*Edit: Just found Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric Colorblends... but they're so expensive!! Like $114 for just one pair of lenses o.O

^^ WHOA. $114?! haha how long does it last?! o_o;; if it was monthly that'd be crazy haha. so expensive..

my eyes aren't worse than like -2.50.. i feel as though they're getting worse and worse though. :x
im sorry that you can't get colored lenses =( hopefully they'll come out with better lenses for people with worse eyesight

Hm, I found a site selling circle lenses for only $20.00
It says its usually so expensive, why is it so cheap there? And no, its not a bad seller,
since there are so many good feedbacks.

Oh and, hello! I'm new to the circle lens thread *shrugs* ^^

^ Are you sure that price is not for ONE LENSE?

Because I know a site that sells lenses around that price, the price listed is the price for 1 lense, not for a pair.
So the total will be $40, not $20

I was wondering what company makes tear lenses? And which one do the majority of the people buy from?

& aryan and geo. i think =p

btw, can anyone answer tobyness?
she was wondering what was everyones glasses and contact prescription.
i can't answer since i don't need glasses.

I was actually gonna try to take better pictures, but since someone asked, I might as well post the picture I do have on hand.
(I've been lurking in this thread long enough, anyways~)



I also have Nudy Browns. (Yep. I jumped on the Nudy train ;D )

*this picture was slightly Photoshopped, just to brighten the Level/brightness of it, 'cause it was a bit dark.

Personally, I really love the Angel pattern way more than the Nudies.
I mean, I like the Nudies...just not as much as I hoped I would like them. :T
My brother told me that they looked like "Reptile Eyes". Dx ...and I agree. xD;

For tobyness, my contacts prescription is -5.50, for both eyes. xD;; Pretty bad.

two tone angel greys look EXACTLY like tuttis D:

i have no idea if my glasses & contacts prescriptions differe from each other, but for my contacts they are
left ; 1.5
right ; 1.75

i have a lazy right eye -_x

x_x sorry double post x_x lagging server.

Ooh, thank you vaneSTAR ^^

So basically, the Angel's have that black ring and aren't as speckly...

Question: How did you guys get your base curves?

Hmmm.. yeah.. if i didnt know.. i wouldve thought they were tuttis...
The pattern is sooo similiar!

- HaiKi

OMG! I wore my nudy green yesterday to school and my friends kept saying that to me T____T" thats strange. I really like the Angel one on you. Does anyone have that in BLUE?

Wait, I wear clear contacts and my grade in each eye is 100 (bad vision, I know '), so if I get circle lens can they also put my grade in it? I don't want to wear circle lens without a grade, I wouldn't see anything. o_o

it makes my eyes dry once i put it in, well any contact does.. whyy ? =(

I've finally decided to buy circle lenses, but I need help with colours and a brands. I'm thinking of a dark colour, maybe dark brown(natural looking), then purple and maybe green. This is a pic of me (1) and I was thinking of the third of these lenses (2) . Does anyone have geo revo lenses? Sorry for the bad pic of me, I took it by cell phone and I was making preparations for All Hallow's Eve.. thanks for your advice and opinion

Hm... Im not sure why they dont say it on the website but my acuvue colored are for
astigmatism so Im sure they provide it for astigmatism.

For someone's question about the base curve, there's a standard range of sizes: 8.4-8.6, I think. You won't really know what fits your eye the best until you actually get fitted. Only optometrists are really trained to be able to "see" how well a contact fits on your eye.

I wear:
Right eye: -5.50
Left eye: -3.50
*glasses and contacts prescripto the same... (which is a bit strange). I've gotten -5.00 circle lenses and I think they let my eyes focus a *little* better, so I might need to go to the optometrist and get my prescription tweaked just slightly. I think my brand of regular contacts is just too strong for me at -5.50

Edit: I saw your other post and it seems to me that you're confusing the axis with cylinder value. The 170 number is axis is the location of your astigmatism (irregularity) in the eye. Your cylinder value is how bad your astigmatism is. I have -1.25 cylinder with 170 and 10 axis. I heard that -1.25 is considered mild to moderate, it's not BAD.




I know what you mean, I've been looking everywhere for colored toric lenses in my prescription. I have -6 in both eyes with 1.25 deg cylinder value. I emailed two places who were selling circle lenses online and they told me that they think it would be quite alright to wear regular circle lenses cause they've seen people do so. I'm not sure whether I should trust them... I tried calling my optometrist to see if she could somehow maybe compensate the astigmatism for a higher power and she told me that I would have to come in and get another $120 exam although I just got one a few months back. I might try to get the Cala Hazel ones though, been eyeing that one for a while now.

Are there other circle lenses that are like a honey color? Most of the examples that were posted up of brown colored lenses were a bit darker than what I would've liked. Has anyone tried G&G BT03 brown (not BT02 brown)? It seems like that one would show up better and lighter but I'm not sure...

Edit: After looking through all the pages (whew) I decided to buy the Nudy browns. I'll post pictures up when I recieve them, I'm so excited!

No problem

Yeah, the black ring is pretty solid.

Compared to Tuttis, I think Angel's look a bit darker, from the pictures I've seen. Especially in the pictures taken farther away. The patterns look pretty much exact, though.


Lol! Maybe you're friends with my brother. xD
And thanks


Is "grade" the same as "prescription"? Because if it is, then yeah, you can get circle lenses with prescription I know I'd be completely blind without mine haha. But, some circle lenses don't come in prescription, so always make sure if the lenses you want come with prescription

helooo~

here is me wit my tuti greys!

sorry for humungo picss.. can anybody tell me how to resize?? =\
zomg, i dont like my moley =(

lmao.. thx fatylas~!

Has anyone worn circle lenses when running for like...8 minutes?

holy #&$@, these are supposed to be BT01 lenses.
girls, post up your pictures of your BT01 lenses

^^one word..

photoshop

i don't have BT01, but i have BT02. i have two pairs of circle lenses, both brown... idk, would like people to notice my eyes, not contacts ^^

this is my eye in 2-tone... i think these are made by G&G or mi gwang... not sure... bit hazel-looking


this is G&G BT02... i like the color, but IRL the black ring can be pretty obvious, depending on lighting. it's very comfortable though


does anyone have any recommendations for more natural looking brown lenses? i was thinking amie brown, BT2, or tutti brown. any experiences?

thats....quite an interesting effect lmao
I hope they're not the bt01s since one of my friends just ordered and paid for one!
Maybe they're the barbie circle black lens instead? =/ a certain site just got them in - supposedly they're popular and have a 14.8 mm enlargement effect. I fail to see how they would be popular though

sry but thats just creepy .__.''

try the neo dali browns? i haven't tried them before, but darling posted hers a while back & they looked real nice & natural. i've been wanting them ever since but haven't found anyone who carries them T_T

ohmygawdddd.
she sooo photoshopped her eyes lol
unless she had some major eye surgery o__o

I seriously doubt BT01's are that big. That's just overboard >_>;
Alot of members posted theirs before and none of them are that huge..
I ordered mine and they should be arriving in two weeks so I'll post mine up then heh =P

Those are so obviously photoshopped, even her eyelashes appear photoshopped.




Although they're not circle lenses...
Freshlook colorblends in brown is one of the more natural lenses from the Freshlook line.
I also recommend colorblends in hazel, (pure honey is orangey-brownish if that's the look you're going for)

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z145/melkimx/2t_2.jpg

^ i believe those are bt2 =)

i have a pair of skyblue ones and it looks like that, and yupp made by g&g

i should have gotten the bt02 since the color is the same, and it has a obvious black ring

we had a fitness test today and i ran for about 10 minutes straight wearing g&g bt02. my eyes felt fine afterwards, although i was super tired T_T
my head hurt haha @_@ it wasn't from the lenses though, it was from the running. >_<

oh... you have to look around the thing i noticed about dali brown is that the diameter is listed as 14.2mm instead of the normal 14.0mm. idk if that refers to the circumference of the color or the lens... i'm afraid of looking like that freaky girl in the last page, where you can't even see any white in her eyes? hm

i tried the test freshlook honey and it's so light! i wanted brown, but my optometrist wouldn't give it to me! she was like, "that's your eye color already." i'm going for... medium brown....

yes, it looks like the G&G ones... i think most people would like bt02 though, seems tried and true

I found more pictures.

BT01 -


Superstars?



G&G Aqua blue?


Tutti or Angel Violet



Photoshopped? We will never know.

AHH
-hides under a rock-
she looks like a bug/alien ._.

her iris is bigger than her mouth!!

http://i12.tinypic.com/6b8yubm.jpg

^ And that person needs to learn how to photoshop.

I find the Aqua Blue to be so pretty! It looks good on the girl but maybe she photoshopped that
picture too.

I got mine yesterday.. it's G&G BT01 black

pics:

I have a few questions for all of you who wear circle lens. 1. When you wear circle lens, how long do you keep them in for? and 2. If they hurt your eyesight, how long were you wearing circle lens for before your eyes started to get bad?

junkmanjunko- Wow, so big...would you mind taking a full face picture?
Or too personal? ~ xD


foreverxfu- 1. I keep my circle lenses in for 8 hours MAX.
2. They haven't really "hurt" my eyesight. But my eyesight worstened already .__.
I wore them for about 5 months already ; _ ;

(ignore the gross eyebags x_x was at the club till 4:00am)

to your left (BT01 black) : to your right (natural eye)

^ Woah what a difference. o_o

.... i posted a reply... for that guys picture.. T__T and soompi was lagging on me and it didn't work! *goes crazy*


Well what i noticed is with the circle lenses on your right eye (our left) the baggage seems smaller... or is it the same without the lenses? o_o;; but yah, i think you'd look better with the lenses. it's a keeper. i can't wait till my lenses comeee :]]

this pic is photoshopped?
omg~ how can u guys tell??? i had no idea.. i still dont see where its photoshopped

IM SORRY TO BE REALLY OBNOXIOUS BUT THIS IS AN EMERGENCY I LEAVE ASIA TOMORROW
AND NEED TO BUY LENS ASAP BEFORE I GO BACK HOME TO THE STATES!







URGENT LAST MINUTE QUESTION SPLS HELP!!


K HERE IT GOES:







1.)
Does anyone have experience with Johnson & Johsnon Acuvue "Define" Black circle lens? (they are daily disposables)

Isnt johnson & johsnon acuvue much more well known and reliable than these other brands? (Bescon,tutti,etc. or whatever)
why do people choose the other ones versus johnson & johnson???? must be a reason??






2.)
Are all circle lens ONE SIZE Only?

i dont need prescription im only wearing them for fun, but doesnt everyone have different shaped/size eyes?
is one size fits all safe ??




3.)

is it okay to use regular eyedrops in ur eyes while ur using contact lens or do u need special eyedrop??







K THANKS GUYS!!

i know they have different prescription strength but dont these circle lens contacts all come in one size only in regards to the base curve???

i went to a storein taiwan and they said the acuvue ones come in one size only
