I like them but they're too expensive to get them in toric. the cheapest place to get contacts is specsavers.co.uk and order them online.

If you dont clean your lenses properly then you increase your chances of getting infections yes. Plus if you dont have lenses that properlyfit you they will be very uncomfortable and its unlikely you would keep them in for long.

i dono. i've wanted some for ages. i think blue lenses look great on dark skin. but the cost of the solution, the lenses, the checkups all would come to around £30 month, surely

Depends if your getting monthlys, dailies or weeklies.

Provide solutions, aftercare and 2 spares in case you lose a lense for £17.50 a month.

Cause the toric coloured lenses are about £30 a month and I dont see the point so stick to my plain lenses. Anyhow I have quite a cool eye colour.

They are for when you have a astigmatism (funny shaped lense). requires special lenses to help correct/accommodate it.

I used to get coloured ones for £40 a month for 3 months supply from specsavers. back to normal ones now.

for astigamatism, cant you just wear 0.00 normal lenses then glasses when you need to read etc?

and as for less than three, dont you think indians/black women look better with blue eyes?

No cause I'm short sighted too. Plus I would still have to have special lenses so that i can gat a fine focus on things.

Eye colour should suit the rest of someones colouring else you'll be talking to people but they wont hear what your saying cause they'll be staring at ur freaky eyes!

I don't see the long term point on changing your eye colour - people generally tend to suit their eye colour.QUOTE]

anyone wear them?
what do you think of them?

im sort of indian looking and i wana get some blue ones.

also, how much roughly do you spend on them per month?
opinions?
I don't wear them but I've toyed with the idea of getting some green ones and blue ones as well (just for fun). I think they're cool for short term experimentation, but it just isn't right if you want to "change" your eye colour permanently.

I've had a friend who tried wearing a green contact in one eye and a blue one in the other. Needless to say, everyone was staring at her but she must've enjoyed the attention. :p:
