FullCircle -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/24/2007 1:43:40 PM)

Where can you get opaque ones from?



DiurnalVampire -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/24/2007 1:44:50 PM)

Theater supply stores can occasionally carry that sort of stuff, costume stores, and for haloween it should be pretty easy to find them in seasonal stores. 



LaTigresse -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/24/2007 2:35:31 PM)

Okay, I have a really stupid question........

I have good vision and don't need glasses or anything......yet. So, I don't go talk to an optometrist with any regularity. Hense my asking this question here.......if anyone knows.

If a person has dark brown eyes, and wants for fun to switch to green with the contacts, how the hell does that work over dark brown? AND if the colour is opaque and not translucent, what happens if they slip a bit off kilter?? I have seen people with contacts and how they sometimes move around a bit. I would hate to be driving, or even walking, blink and all of the sudden.......OMG I CANNOT SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRASH!!

Just a question out of curiousity. Because the very idea of sticking anything on my eyeball gives me the heebie jeebies.

Heya LaTigresse
I have dark brown eyes and has a pair of green contacts that are opague. They are pretty cool looking.  I think I may get a blue pair soon.   I usually wear contacts so I guess I'm used to them.  Never had one fall out unless something was irritating my eye. 



FullCircle -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/24/2007 2:45:57 PM)

I was referring to totally opaque ones for sensory deprivation purposes. You see them used but no one ever says where you can get a pair.

So, do they stay in place okay or do they slip around on the eyeball? This is one of those completely unimportant things I have always wondered about.

And now you can say that no longer.  www.9mmsfx.com and www.fxeyes.com are two to get you started.  For more, let your fingers do the Google.

You know you want to try them so hold still while I poke you in the eye trying to put them in.



kittinSol -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/24/2007 3:08:28 PM)

Well, as long as you don't shove a Shiseido n. 16 lippy up my nostril, I'm game, mate. I'm not proud that way [:D]!



Tarisa -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/24/2007 3:19:43 PM)

Heya LaTigresse..mine stay in place just fine.  I love them



sub4hire -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/25/2007 6:07:39 AM)

You still go see an Optometrist and get what you want.  They do have contact lenses that have no prescription on them.

I don't wear glasses either but I do know contact lenses do not slip. 



luckydog1 -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/25/2007 10:43:53 AM)

Well occasionally they do slip, but its not big deal, you just blink a few times.  Drying out is a more common problem, but it just takes a few drops to fix.  Unless it happens often, then you are not drinking enough water, and should drink more for general health reasons anyway.You have to get fitted for them at an optometrist, then you can buy more on line much cheaper, but you have to have the right size.  I know 2 ladies with dark brown (native American and Chinese) that wear colored contacts and it looks amazing.  Athabaskan princess with bold green eyes, Elegant Chinese woman with purple eyes, it is hard to look away.



GhitaAmati -> RE: Colored Contacts (8/25/2007 10:52:34 AM)

Ive had colored contacts in the past, and yes they do slip around a bit some kust like regular contacts. The translucent ones are what I have used the most, but I had worn the opaque ones also. They are not actually solid opaque, more like lots of little dots of color, ever seen the window tent on busses and backs of pickup trucks, that is hundreds of little pixels of color they use to put advertisement and pictures on windows? The ones where from the outside you see a picture but from the inside you can still see out? Its kinda like that. Occasionally my contacs will blur just a bit, but it has never been so blurry that It caused a major saftey issue. You do have to go to the optometrist at least the first time to get fitted, contacts come in different sizes and the closer they get to the right size, the less they move around on your eye.  Staying hydrated and useing the re-wetting drops cuts down on the moving and blurryness also

I have worked in the optometric field off and on since I was about 17, so I am gonna jump in here.
 
You can get 'plano' aka no Rx contacts, be carefull, if you do NOT clean them yuo can get all sorts of infections; the Dr I have worked with has oen ofthe lowest infection rates in the country, less than 1/2 of 1% of his contact lense patients have had infections.
 
Going to a theatre supply or online is risky, you don't know what you are getting and certain factors can play into things, ie - you don't know what you are doing, the lenses are NOT clean, you have something in your eyes to begin with, you don't remove them, you let other people BORROW them, the list goes on and on.
 
As for those with dark eyes wanting to change their eye colour with opaque lenses, my eyes are too dark for those to work well, I have seen some incredible results though, I have a pair that are 'silver' or 'gray' and they make me look kinda freaky. My eyes are too sensative for contacts, I am too body aware to wear them, so I stick with glasses.
 
Cotnacts may look 'cool' and seem like 'fun' but they are a medical device and should not be used carelessly. If anyone wants more info, contact me on the other side.
