contacts.....

[Greta]

Do any of you guys wear the colored contacts? I just got mine today and they look amazing with my tan. Is there anything I should know about them tanning wise?

[Anya1976]

what color did u get? see i have blue enough eyes i don't need the colors and i dont wanna look totally fake by getting other colors

[Anya1976]

i wear contacts anyway cus i am as blind as a bat

[Greta]

I have very blue eyes too and that's what I thought, but wanted to try it anyway and I am glad I did. I got the aqua enhancers and OMG, you wanna talk about outstanding! My eyes are a gray blue normally, but more blue. I may try some violet, but am afraid they will really look fake, the aqua look so real.....

[meltdbutta]

I wear Freshlook Colors....
In Blue...
I have hazel eyes, and these baby Blues look very natural...

i've seen so many people with the purple ones and they look soooooooooooo fake... maybe one of these days i willget colored contacts but with the amout of money it costs for my lenses i am not sure i will. i have an astigmatism so it costs me 50 dollars a box for my disposible lenes (that is cheaper than what it would cost for daily wears)

[Greta]

that is kinda what I thought about the violet too, never seen anyone in person with them in though.....

[Anya1976]

i have.... totally fake.... really totally bad totally fake... maybe the colors have changed where it looks more real but when i saw them it was reaaaaaaally obvious

[Greta]

but it is ok to tan in them?

I have dark brown eyes and I have Freshlooks blue contacts. They are not nearly as comfortable as my clear lenses, but I do wear them occasionally.

You really should remove your contacts to tan but I don't. Make sure you carry drops and re-wet them when you get out. The fans and heat really can dry them out. I wear clear most of the time but do have honey brown for my hazel eyes. I love them but they are harder to deal with so most of the time I don't.

I have worn contacts for many years and have never taken them out when I have tanned certain years. I haven't had any problems other than the fact that sometimes they get a little watery. Always wear your protective eyewear

I have heard when I bought my Freshlook Colors contacts...that they were recently re formulated them to make them more comfortable...

I used to have the violet. And they do look fake. It's been about six years since I had them, but mine were really uncomfortable. I don't remember the brand. My eyes stayed really dry. Now I wear clear freshlook torics desposables. And I wear mine while I tan.

[teresa]

My colored lenses are a little over a year old (I bought a couple of boxes last Feb). I also have Freshlooks clear and I don't understand why but they are much more comfortable. I hope you are right melty...if they are new and improved, I would wear them more often

[meltdbutta]

I am pretty sure that the Optomitrist(sp) told me that many people complained about the older Freshlook Colors and that they are 'New and improved' now....
Get a new box...try em out...

melty

Ps...Im wearing my baby blues right now, and I do not even feel them!!!

i was told that as long as u use eye protection that it's fine and to just bring refreshing drops if your eyes get dry

[LavenderFleur]

I want to try out the new Radiance contacts made by Cibavision. They are just supposed to brighten and enhance your ntural color. I have green eyes and love them, but I want to try colored. Just to make them a little greener.

[meltdbutta]

Whats up with that whole 'color enhancing layer'...is it bs, or do they look really good???

[Sc0tt]

I have colored Acuvue Colours green contacts. I have pale green eyes and I got the green enhancers and whenever I meet somebody for the first time, they always compliment on my green eyes. Sorry, I was reading old threads and thought I would bring this back up .

[BriansBunny]

I had the violet ones and got nothing but compliments..
Especially outside they look so pretty...kinda a misty gray purple color..

[evilina231]
