colored contacts

[Cassidy]

ive never seen any...what exactly are they?
i mean i know they like, uh, make your eyes a different color..but
how do they get the color in there?

Kinda hard to explain,
Contacts are kinda like little soft disks that you put in your eyes.
They don't just change your eye color but they elimate the need for glasses.
Your susposted to take them off before you go to sleep, and you need a new pair of contacts every week or so.
Heh, I'll be getting contacts soon.

Actually...
I only need to change my contacts every month or whenever they hurt my eyes.
I've been on the same pair for about four months.
They also make some that you can sleep in.
And they have contacts that are specificly for changing your eye color and not for eye sight needs.

I have colored contacts.
I'll try to post a picture of them and me with/without them in tomorrow.

 

[KitKat_Tink]

colored contacts can be perscription or non perscription.

They have color printed on the area that will cover the colored part of you eye...

 

[Sparx]

they pretty much only work well on light colored eyes.

Actually you're only supposed to change them once a month (at least that's what my eye doctor tells me about my type of contacts) but I change them every 2-3 weeks because they get like... Mushy, I guess. And some are colored just not all of them. And my cousin wears the kind you can sleep in.

Am I the only one who's heard that colored contacts are bad for your eyes? I don't know if that's true or not.

Would anyone really want gray eyes? o.o

 

[DollfieDreams]

gray eyes actually look fantastic with dark hair.

and i want contacts so freaking badly for my costumes. only problem is that i'd have to go to an eye doctor to get them...and i totally am unfond of doctor visits.

You dont need to go to a doctor for coloured contacts..
Case in point:

MY hallowe'en costume:

My friend has blue colored contacts and dark brown eyes. Now her eyes look a little creepy.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Yeah, you have to make sure that your eyes are a good color for colored contacts.
This girl I'm 'friends' with on Facebook bought purple contacts, and they look absolutely stupid because you can see her eyecolor underneath them.

so then, where did you get them?
because every time i try to order or purchase in a store the good, high quality contacts, i always have to present a note from an eye doctor.

There are thousands of different kinds of contacts out there, and all have different amounts of time you can wear them for.
While your's are good for 4 weeks, mine are only good for 2.

And I'm not a big fan of people wearing colored contacts on an everyday basis. They usually look fake, and I generally think people's REAL eye colors are prettier than some peice of plastic.

I have semi-dark colored eyes and my contacts work quite well.
Sorry for the bad-quality pictures.

An online canadian store.
They delivered them to my house the next day

 

[Cassidy]

ive seen cat kinds.

suckish picture.
but their cool looking.

i always thought when they put like, animal kinds, that it would hurt really bad.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I have a question though.
How do you see through that though?
Like I have seen contacts that have colored pupils.
How are you supposed to see through it?

 

[Cassidy]

IDK!
thats what im wondering..

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

The black part of your eye is the only part you actually "see" through, not the coloured part.

The contacts just cover the coloured part.
