Coloured contact lenses?

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!
