Sounds like you put that contact in inside-out. So, it's going in your eye on the wrong side, and that's why it doesn't stick and it hurts your eye. Happened to me a few times before. Just re-moisten the contact and then flip it, and it should be fine. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just let me know and I'll try to explain it more clearly. =D

To be safe, you should check the contact before inserting it in your eye. If it makes a perfect bowl shape when resting on your finger, then it should be fine. But if it looks like the edges are kind of sharp, then it means it's inside out. ;]

im stuck between getting tuti grey or blue >.<
which should i get?

tuti grey doesnt seem that visible

has anyone tried the Dueba DM-21 series?

i'm thinking of maybe getting

DM21 Violet




or

DM21 Green


if anyone has tried it, does the color + design show up on the eyes clearly?
it looks really nice on the model but i think it's cause they used flash in the picture so that the color shows up clearer.

^
wow the violet is super nice!


i would like to contribute
here are tear greys

These don't really look like tear lenses, but they do look like cloud lenses. Literally, there are swirls or clouds. I think they are made by G&G?



(not my image, found on the web)

u ahv jeon hye bins eyes lol >< darn im werd

Just wondering but they'd be more expensive than ordinary lenses right?

lol, yes. i followed your instructions, now its okay.
i feel stupid now haha



tutti grey is more natural looking
they sort of "blend" more with your natural eye colour
they make your eyes look bigger, but more subtle
lol, you can tell im being bias, because i really like these ones
my eye colour is brown, but my tutti grey lenses look better on me than my brown ones

blue, looks fake and unnatural
if your eye colour isnt naturally blue, you shouldnt get them
they dont suit a lot of people



yes they are

does anyone know if they sell them like in optometrist shops nd stuff in vietnam coz im going there soon ^^ plz pm me the address if you know
thanks

circle lenses arnt more expensive..i would say ther about the same as normal coloured ones =)

yep, there are ton of shops like that in vietnam (i mean in saigon) and it's around $15 - $40 max! if ya buy anything over that then start to use your bargain skill hahahaha

theyre more expensive than normal ones
as in, for daily wear
the ones you wear because you need them to see, not the coloured ones lol
those ones come in like, packs of 5 pairs

Is $14.90 too cheap and unreliable for a pair of barbie grays that last up to 3 months?

^i was jst thinking about that..$15 contacts..can they make u blind o__O??

^Well, I'm not sure about your case, but the barbie grays I'm looking at are $14.90 that lasts up to 3 months, but like other people bought circle lenses for $25 and they last up to one year. $14.90 x 4 = $59.60. More expensive by a lot?

More expensive = more reliable?

^oh ok..i was always confused about yearly and 3 month ones..i mean if yearly ones cost less and like last longer.why buy 3 month ones...hmmm

^ its better to have 3 months..or even weekly ones~
cuz although contacts solutions remove the protein and what not, they may not do it throughoutly..esp if u use them for long long time~
eventually the dirty stuff builds up on the lens ( = less space for ur eyes to breath or sth??? at least thats what my mom told me..)
so its better to change ur lenses every once in a while

READ THE RULES



Be careful. Some sellers charge that price PER LENS, not per pair.

I want these I had them on order but they couldnt get them at the time. Im alittle worried though.. Will they look Violet. the Dueba grays I have really look Drak blue..*I like them though*. But I still have to go and but gray ones cuz the ones I got dont gray in my eyes. But gosh they look good on the model~

^those model pictures are also with flash.

When I had my Tutti Lavanders, they also looked really purple in the flash. But in real life.... -_____-

^ so the violet contacts aren't going to really show up?
>_<" aww...

would it be SAFE to buy contacts in vietnam?

._.

I don't want to go blind.

ehh. i'm not sure. i don't think i would.
they might be cheap imitations. and those would def. damage your eyes.

If the optometrist is reputable, it's probably ok. Contact lense companies ship their products to places all over the world. I know there are many trustworthy places to get Korean circle lenses in China and Taiwan - I don't see why it would be different for Vietnam. Just ask a lot of questions about the lenses before you purchase them to be sure.

BAN`CHAN - if you have lighter brown eyes, the purple will show better. I have very dark brown, so they looked almost black on me. In the flash, they're purple like the advertisement though.

I've yet to try Dueba, but the clor doesn't look too opaque. I want to try FreeTeen Violets, since the color is extremely bold on the contacts, but I don't think anyone has tried those yet (or they haven't posted in the thread at least)

i just came back from korea
and actually, the circle lenses are more expensive there than buying from sellers on forums, etc
the cheapest decent ones (plain black or black ring) are about $31-32
and the nicer ones (tear lenses, etc) are about $42-43
they even have really expensive ones that are $85+

^ yeah my friend bought me a pair of tuti grays while she was in korea for about 40,000 won
thats almost the same amount as the seller who i got my other tuti grays from.. but she has to add shipping and all too
its better to get from wholesalers for sure

look for the brand name
my cousin bought bescon tutti lenses from saigon

they are per lense not per pair!

so its 14.90 x 2 = one pair of lenses!!!

xxxx

it's totally up to you
if you want noticeable ones, then get tutti blues, definitely.
but if you want subtle but prominent eyes, then get tutti grays.
personally, i'd prefer gray. which is why i ordered them. lol xP
i'm actually considering blue.. but i don't have the face to pull it off =(
you need a dollface haha


muchlove!
-jisoo

It seems like a lot of ppl are raving about the bescon tutti grays! I'm wondering now if I should change my G&G 3-tone gray to Tutti Gray. I haven't seen anyone with G&G grays yet but it would be awesome if someone could post pics.

Really, they are more expensive in Korea!!!
what kind of lens do you get?
I mean 1 mt disposable or...etc?


Thanks

omg circle lens are so expensive >.<
i wanna get circle lense >.<
buttttt noooooooooo my mom said , i might go blind XD

^ they won't be too much worse than regular clear lenses
as long as you take good care of them
tell your mom that =p


muchlove!
-jisoo

i have a question,
when i open the circle lenses & i wear them right.
so the circle lenses last for one year, and for example i opened it on december 01, 2006
it`ll expire on december 01, 2007? even if i don't wear it EVERYDAY for a year? or its literally a year for the days that i wear it?

^ it's one year after you open the bottle.
no matter how many times you wear it. so take advantage and wear them often!
just not TOO often or they can be very damaging=)


muchlove!
-jisoo

well they all vary
but the most common ones are 3-6 month disposable
and please read the first post..

^READ THE RULES READ THE RULES READ THE RULES READ THE 9UHJRFHDLI*UY&$(#*$U#O*(%U$ RULES!!!

Thank you.



I'm getting ColorVue Dolly lenses for my models during my school fashion show -- they're all black (not just the outer ring) so I'll post pics of them after the show :]

I would advise starting off with just the outer ring if you're scared about all black. That way you'll have some natural color showing through.

ohh but isnt the recommened time to wear circle lenses like around 5 hrs ?
cos i have school & its always more than 5 hrs so yeah :\




i think you should put it in caps for people not to ask all the way on the top cos i think people just skim thru a long post ><

lol... stupid jojo ^ (i <3 u) hehe...

joe, you're not suppost to wear them right stright from the bottom; i heard you are suppost to put them in contact solution first for like a day then you can wear them.. be/c if you dont, it's suppost to be bad or something... right??

and yeah you are suppost to ONLY wear them for 5 hrs... & i have the same problem too... but you better do the recommened thing be/c you dont want to mess up your eyes & go blind when you're older....

^ speaking of time...
for those who already wear circle lenses... how long do u guys wear them for normally? (without screwing up your eyes lol)
im getting my tutti's soon n i want to wear them for my bday party but i don't want to screw up my eyes.. =_=

^ iono, i just wear them regularly.. about..10 hrs during school...
when i was in korea last week.. i wore them for about 12-13 hrs.. and thats when it really starts to get dry..

^ thats not good for you, lol



i think all black is hard to pull off
you should go with grey
theyre more subtle and natural looking =]


tutti greys!
i really love mine, and people thnk they suit me
they say it looks really naturally until they actually think about it...
ie. hang on... pure asians dont have grey eyes...



you should never wear them for more than 6 hours, MAX
more than that, it has a higher chance of wrecking your contacts, and your eyes

No matter what, circle lens are still kinda bad for your eyes right? Cuz for contacts, they are like perscribed and made to EXACTLY match the contours of your eyes. For circle lens, don't you like kind of estimate the diameters. Like I know they sell like 14 to 14.60. They might not be exact matches.

I really want to get them, but I don't even wear glasses let alone contacts. My mom told me that even contacts themselves will erode at the cornea of the eye. Thus, as time wears on, your vision will dull. Is that true? I want to make my eyes look bigger, but I don't want to risk losing my 20/20 vision right now...

omg remmeber that day i saw you i was wearing the cloudy swirly ones :x
i didn't even soak it in the solution, i just took it out of the bottle & wore thems :x
okay now i gotta remember to soak my lenses before i wear them ;x lol i've remmeber reading those like 3 million times but never remember i actually had to do that before i wear it ;x
but but i always wear it for a long period of time :x
ehhhs. x__x



well i've worn COLOR contacts for a long period of time before i started wearing circle lenses, they say all type of contacts can make you vision dull later on. well for me it was REALLY weird. at first my vision was around -2.50, then a year later i went for a checkup again to see if anything happened to my vision, it was LOWER? like -2.00 i was like wthecks? so i dont know =x im a weird person i suppose lol. my vision went less instead of higher?
but but when you get any type of lenses that arent glasses, you should always get the checkup that are for contact lenses (even if it costs money) because they give yu a trial pair && contact lenses are on your eyes as glasses arent on your eyeballs, so isn't it a bit different? well i dernos cos to me its different. or maybe its just me =x

^ omg joe, you're sooo going to go blind! lol!! j/k.. but be more careful, EVERYONE!

I guess the best solution for everyone is that you where it, then take it out DURING SCHOOL, where your glasses be/c you let your eyes breath then put them back in like after 2/3 hrs... I GUESS!!!!!! I'm not a doctor so if you go blind, i;m sooo sorrry!!!!!!!!!!! JK...lol... (somehow i highy doubt peoplem would do that, but oh well it's your eyes....

lolol you need to learn how to type
so much typos !
its okay still love you though grandma <3

no you can't put them back in after 2-3 hrs cos you have to soak at least 8 hrs ! >;O
&& you need CLEAN hands, washing your hands at school? kinda disgusting :x i dont trust any of that school water YUCKS!
well i dont think thats a good idea either.

well you know that saying " yew lang mm yew mang "
but i still always wear it for over 5-6 hrs =x
my eyesight hasn't gotten worse as far as i know. ><

I've had messiah browns which made my eyes look more hazel but now I have tutti black ring circle lenses
I'm thinking of getting some tutti greys or tear grey's but I can't decide

Heres a before and after in my tutti black ring
before:


after:

Sorry, I have to disagree. There are non-mixed Asians with naturally grey eyes.



YEs, circle lens can be bad for your eyes. But there are many different brnds of lenses with different base curves and diameters - and if you cannot find one that matches your regular contact prescriptions, it's your own desicion to wear them knowing they are potentially harmful.

Vision is subjective to everyone. As you can tell from mmitsjojo's post, her vision didn't worsen after time. But if you read through previous pages, there are people who's eyesight did.

If you want to make your eyes look bigger, maybe try different make up like white eyeliner or fake eyelashes. You already said yourself you don't want to risk anything. Circle lenses are a beauty OPTION - not a must have. Everyone here wearing circle lenses do so of their own accord - not because it was their only choice.
