Congrats.

You are on the way to getting Pink Eye. The lenses are probably growing bacteria at a rapid rate by now. Regardless of how long you soak them. And the MAX amount of hours you are supposed to wear circle lenses is around 5-6 hours. Regardless of HOW comfortable they feel you are loosing oxygen from your eyes since the lense rim is larger it covers a bigger portion of your eye. Eyes need to breathe too yannoe.

Make sure you are squirting your lens with solution on each side for 5 seconds before you insert the lens into your eye. Regardless of how long they have been soaking overnight some residue may remain. Also when taking your lens OUT of the case its always GOOD to use the pair of TWEEZERS, THE SOFT ONES that usually come with the contact len's case. Then using them to set the contact onto your index finger, this way it minimizes the amount of skin residue left on the contact after handling it.

Also seriously chuck those len's away. A good way to tell if they have residue or have torn edges on them is to hold them up against a bright light, then you can just see through them. If you see nothing wrong with the len's and still feel discomfort THROW THE LENS AWAY!

ALSO its GREAT to use REWETTING EYE DROPS! When your contacts get really dry during the day or have mini discomfort use some REWETTING CONTACT EYEDROPS. I use the Opti-Free Replenish Multi purpose one. Because you should never touch your eyes when your out during the day~ Use it MAX 2-3 times a day. Any more than that and your eyes get drunk

I remember when I had my Aryan Lenses... oh how I loved them... and refused to believe they expired X_X
but then yea I got pink eye. And it sucked.

Hi guys!
I wanted to ask you guys what the lens Jung Roo's wearing are :











Are they all the same ones?
or are they different?
They're so pretty !! :]

^ My guess are tutti greys. but she photoshops a lot.

for the ones that wear non prescription circle lenses but their eye sights haven't been affected what brand do you use? cause now since a lot of ppl say it hasn't affected their eye sight i'm seriously considering it again. also when you initially start wearing it is it a bit blurry cause my friend says that all contact lenses are initially blurry and you just get used to the blurriness.

Here's a question I haven't seen asked yet. A lot of girls at my school wear regular American colored contacts, and most of them have a pixel-y look, like when I'm talking to them and looking at their eyes, I can see the pixels on their contacts (like when you stretch out a picture too big and it gets all fuzzy/squarish). It looks really unappealing, and I don't like it at all! Do circle lens have this effect as well? In some pictures the nudy lens look pixelated, but is that just from super-super-close-up?


Also, which is more comfortable, Tutti Grays or Nudy Grays? It seems like most people say Nudys, but some people said they had stinging?


Another question! ^^;; Has anyone posted pictures of the Neo Two Tones, shown here? I really want to see the gray and violet. I tried looking back, but I couldn't find any. Maybe I accidentally skipped them?

Why does the free teen brown looks grey? or is it free teen grey? I'm going to buy it so i need to know the color..

The comfort level, I guess it depends on your eyes size and curve.

I have nudy green and blue
They are very comfortable.
I've 20/20 eyesight.

Usually I only wear them for up to 8 hours.
Because of my job, I wear them for 10-11 hours before I can take them off.
I don't feel them at all.
They don't sting. I always have my eye drops in my bag, but I've never used it. They are just THAT comfortable.

i'm new to contact lenses,
so.. i have a question for you experts (^o^")
i know there are prescripted and non-prescripted lenses just like glasses,
i personally have a pair of prescripted glasses but i'm thinking of getting contacts instead
you guys posted heaps and heaps of different colored contacts and it really makes me wonder..
can i wear non-prescriped contacts even though i should be wearing the prescripted ones?
and are those contacts with pretty colors prescripted or non-prescipted?

thanks<3

yeah i think you mean degree. most (if not all) colored contacts come with degrees. you just have to visit your optometrist to get them. if you don't know what your degree is, they'll just check your eyes for you & find out what your degree is. then you just ask them if they have colored contacts in that degree then you pick & choose & yeah.

contacts have, what i call, two forms of expiry. the production expiry & the disposable expiry. the production expiry is usually a few years, so within those few years you'll have to open the lenses & use them. if you still have unopened lenses after that expiry date has passed, you should just chuck them away. you can find the production expiry date on the box/bottle that the lenses came in.

the disposable expiry is when you've used your dailies, monthlys or yearly lenses up to it's limit. so for example, if you have monthly colored contacts, you open a set on the 1st of december, then you use it every day for a month. then on the 1st of january, you chuck them away & open up another set of lenses.

kay i hope that made sense cos i use terms that i created for myself to understand x_x

Oooh, I see.

How long do the longest lenses last at the mist? A year?

ok, asian girls! no offense, but when asian girls wear blue lenses it really freaks me out bcuz it makes their eyes look dead....you know like when a person dies and they get that glazed cloudy blue/grey shade in their eyes? that how it looks! if you really want blue eyes girls, make sure to get REALLY REALLY good ones or else you'll look like a living corpse!!!

Yes you can wear non-prescriped ones. When you wear them it'll be like you walking around without glasses. If you degree isn't too high can still can see things clearly without glasses then yes. But if you can't see a thing without your glasses you might wanna get those prescripted onces.
Some of those color contacts only has 20-20.(E.g Violet & Green nudy) Most of them can be prescripted or non-prescripted. Hope it helps.

of cos you can wear non-prescripted contacts if you want, but why would you if you don't have 20/20 vision? you can wear non-prescripted contacts then wear your prescripted glasses though. but yeah, if you don't have perfect vision you should be wearing prescripted contacts or glasses cos if you don't you run a higher chance of your degree getting higher.

most circle lenses come with prescription. the ones that i've heard of that don't are nudy green & violet. for normal colored contacts, i reckon they all come in prescription but you just have to ask your optometrist.



for normal soft contacts (ie. non-circle lenses) the longest i've heard was monthlys. if i remember correctly yearlys are only with hard lenses? but for circle lenses most of them last a year. you'll just have to ask the person you're buying from how long they last.

^ Yea, most circle lenses are annuals. But you can get soft contact annuals too. I had them for several years, but I switched to bi-weeklys b'cuz I kept losing or ripping my contacts.. and annuals are expensive to replace.

i know this has prbly been asked many times.. but...

which black circle lens is the most comfortable by experience? not water content, etc

cus i ripped my grey tuttis, which i loved since they were so comfortable and wore everday~

the "pixel" effect on the Nudy circle lenses are actually the "natural" speckling of the Nudys... I think it's supposed to give your color a more natural appearance? iono.

But the effect is the worst on the Nudy Browns (I've heard), so if you want to get Nudys and don't like the pixelation or the speckling, stay away from the Brown.

i pointed out that they were grey in the first sentence
-----

and i never recommended to wear expired lenses, i'm just saying if you've been wearing one type of lens for a long time you cant really tell they're expired unless you look at the package or something... =__=;;;;

Oh okay. Sorry ><!

Do you know if its safe/cheaper to buy circle lens in asia like Taiwan or Japan or Korea?
Thanks

Well, most of the contacts in this thread are mainly those of Korean brands if that helped?

Just to be safe, my recommendation will be to go to your optometrist because he/she is probably the one who knows what might suit you best... (?)

Oh. And some of them are actually more expensive in Asia... such as Singapore.

Can Encore/ Freshkon black lens achieve Circle lens effect as well ?

Has anyone tried tutti blue yet? <3

Which grey contacts give the more shiny effect?

tutti greys, angel greys, or tear greys?

^ I believe tear gray.

Once I took my contacts out while they were dry, and my eyes were KILLING me all day long.
Because of that, I use like gallons of eyedrops a day.

I dont like black circles because people told me I look possessed or ghosty in them.
After trying nudies, tears, and ifax black, I think tuttis are still my favorite. :x

Does anybody have pictures of G&G Tube Grey lenses? I've only found one picture, but I'm not sure if it was photoshopped or not

I think it should be tear greys, they have this watery effect that I love... but at the same time, they are still rather subtle.

But tutti greys are my favourites. If you want your eyes to really stand out, go for tutti greys. Personally, tutti greys make the eyes look outstanding.

There's a picture on the first page (credits: Angiee unni~)
I personally have a pair too :)!

oh
those lens are so beautiful o.o...
i wish i had eyes like this

Does anyone have pictures of G&G BT02 Gray???

I saw it already, thanks though. (: you should post up your sexy tutti blues too~ PLEASE & THANK YOU. ;p

Ah sorry for late reply.. but yes the lenses does make my eye bags less noticeable. (haha gross xD)

here you go: (excuse my naked eye x_X)

here are pictures of my geo angel blues.
i thought they were geo nudys, but heh..
i still like them though! the only downside
is that my eyes dry out faaast. :x

even so, i looove them.





close up:


i couldn't take pictures with flash because
my batteries were running low on my camera. :x

^ Those are very subtle in a REALLY pretty way! And you're really pretty too! ^^*

im thinking of getting grays,
but im not sure what kind to
get. which one worked best
for you? which one shows up
best on dark eyes?

^ Damn, I love the Geo Angel Blue up there. If only they came in prescription.

I LOVE the TEAR ones but they're so hard to finddddd.

BTW you guys, what's the difference between G&G BT02 Gray and DM23 Gray???

Hmmm... from what I have seen, I think BT02 greys are more subtle compared to the later. I am also interested to find out myself, so I just bought a pair of BT02 greys

The Angel Blues are so nice...I want to order them now ;p

How much do you guys pay for your lens? a pair?

I paid for $52 shipped for free teen tutti from a Singaporean seller, which is a rip-off/overpriced.

The nudy for about $35-38 shipped a pair, from a Canadian seller

mine range from $35 - $50 (also from a singaporean seller)

i know a place that sells for $30 a pair, but not sure if its trustworthy...

$30 - $55


Depends on brand and seller.

Please don't mind me for asking, but are there any circle lens that are prescribed
& can be worn for everyday wear, like normal contacts?
O_________O

^yeah there are circle lenses that are perscribed
and with circle lenses you can essentially wear them everyday but it's not good to wear them for a very long period of time
like say 12 hours

MISOHAPPY: The angel blues are sooo pretty! I'm thinking about getting them! When your camera is charged can you please take a picture with flash?

mine weren't circle but i had prescribed tear lens. I guess you can wear them everyday but then your eyes will get so tired that i don't know if you would want to.

G&G Ifax Dreamy Black: $35 shipped. But they were on preorder so I waited almost two months for them.
Dueba DM23 Greys: $47 incl. shipping. Both were from Singaporean sellers.

G&G White Circle Lens in Brown - $22
G&G BT01 Blacks - $28
Bescon Tutti Blue, Grey, Violet Brown & Green - $35
Bescon Tear Brown - $56 (overpriced -__-)
Colourvue Big Eyes - $34
Geo Black (with the design? - $30
Geo Nudy Blue - $32

So like $22-$56.
Mostly around $30-$35?

;O your so pretty and i love those geo angels! I'm thinking about getting Geo Angels next but i dont know what to decide... Blue, Purple or Gray?
Is there anyone else with pictures of the Geo Angels Series? Thank you!


^ b4by1nc bought my colorvue for me ^^
Geo Nudy Green - $36 shipped
Geo Nudy Blue - $32 shipped
Geo Cosplay Naruto Lens - $42 shipped
