Deets on these lenses (or anything similar that can handle a high prescription)

Worth it getting prescription scleras or should I save my buck and get planos and just wear glasses on top?

>>9227570
Get the prescription. With scleras, you want them to fit your eye the best you can

OP here. My contacts arrived. They're Phantasee's "Ravenous", 17mm mini scleras. I've never ever seen a photo of them IRL or a review, only stock photos, so I'll post some. I was sort of reluctant to settle for these but were the only red mini scleras I could find from a reputable place that weren't over $100 per lens. Here they are in the vial. I'm going to soak them for 24 hrs, take a photo of them in the case, and when they're ready, show them on my eyes.
Also I've never worn anything above 14.8, is there really that much a difference with 17mm other than breathability?

>>9227570
I think prescription scleras are worth $300 almost last time I checked...how much would it be now? It's better to get prescription but it's good to save money. Depends if you can go without glasses for a considerable period of time or not, but in the end it's up to you.

>>9227551

i'd love the deets on these as well for ahri and shinobu

Got Vassen Dolly+ in brown for my comm's Halloween tea party meetup. They're pretty yellow-brown/golden brown on my eyes, like the stock photo. No idea what they'd be like on lighter eyes. Photos are direct sunlight/natural light inside, apologies for my general lack of grooming in the photos.
Only issue is that my left eye wasn't super comfortable when I first put the contact in but I suspect that's me rather than the lenses since there's nothing obviously wrong with the lens and the right eye is fine. Gonna soak them for another 24hrs and then try again.

>>9229612
I'd like to add an update:
I had a lot of trouble getting these out of my eyes, I've worn circle lenses before and never had an issue with the pinch method but it took me a while to get these out

>>9229612
>>9229858
thanks for the review!

I've always been curious about trying circle lenses, but I've read a lot of doctors say they're not safe to use and can cause glaucoma. Has anyone ever had issues with their lenses/advice to give about safety concerns?

>>9230213
Be smart. If it's hurting you, take it out, keep it clean, don't wear it past the expiry date. Otherwise you should be fine provided you buy from a well-known seller.

What are the most comfortable and least comfortable lenses everyone has worn?
For me:
Most comfortable: Geo Princess Mimi (in apple green)
Least comfortable: EOS Dolly Eye (in gray.) Super dry and uncomfortable and had to constantly re-wet and still not good

Aside from safe sellers/logic, how do you buy your first pair? I heard you have to get your eye measured?

>>9230825
If you looked in the archives you'd find the info but w/e
Go to optician, find out if you have a stigmatism, if you do youll need expensive specialist lenses, if not you just ask for your base curve then you're ready
They normally give you your base curve and you can go .1 either way but exact or .1 above is comfier
.1 below is quite tight feeling

What sort of scleras anon? Single color or a cool design?

>>9232426
Just black ones, it's my first sclera pair. I'd like to get tokyo ghoul or cat scleras in the future.

>>9229716
I've always had some comfort issues with yellow or yellowish brown lenses. I wonder if it's the yellow pigment that does this.

Ordering my first lenses through Pinky Paradise, and the shipping situation is confusing me a bit.

My order listing gives a "null" for the shipper, and they list to a multitude of different shipping services. I tried them all, and USPS says a package with that number just left Germany today. I'm in the United States, and I'm confused.

I suppose this is the downside of going with the cheapest and slowest option. Are there any sellers that have better shipping deals?

>>9232498
They have a warehouse in Germany or something. That's where all of my orders have started out from. (I'm also in the US.)

>>9232475
I soaked them for another couple days and put them in again yesterday evening for a few hours - I still get the odd feeling of foreign body in my left eye, but not as bad as when I first put them in. I suspect the fit might be not so good on that eye because of my astigmatism but I think I'll be okay for a couple hours at a tea party.

>>9230213
Um wut. Why would they cause glaucoma? Corneal issues can definitely happen from poor fit and poor hygiene but glaucoma is to do with eye pressure, not the outside of the eye. My understanding is that being short sighted is the risk factor for glaucoma and whether or not you wear contacts or glasses for your short-sightedness has nothing to do with it.
My advice would be actually see an optician and talk to them about it rather than relying on dodgy internet sources - I would even take my own advice with a grain of salt seeing as it's anon. You should get your eyes checked to make sure you have no eye health issues prior to wearing contacts and also to get an idea of the appropriate base curve for your lens purchase. In a perfect world you'd be able to go back to your optician afterwards to get the fit of the lens on your eye checked but most people don't bother with that and wear their lenses based on comfort and common sense.

>>9229612
thanks anon, I wonder how they look from more far away, because the pattern seem pretty detailed

>>9232376
Ew, wtf. How dumb can she be?

n00b here. I've seen loads of articles over the past few days about how "novelty" contact lenses will fuck your eyes. How true is this? Or is it media exaggeration?

>>9236457
ofc if you buy novelty ones
if you buy professional costuming or fashion ones they most likely won't do anything to you

>>9236200
I think they'll look pink-ish from far away? Not sure. I'll try to take better photos on Halloween itself

>>9236461
The ones I was looking at had all the "FDA / EU approved" BS on them, but I wasn't sure if these were the same shit that the articles were talking about.

Yo from a person who doesn't know jack about contacts and is poor, do I absolutely have to get a prescription/ get my base curve?? If I can't get that, what can I do??

>>9236744
Run the risk of severely damaging your eyes

>>9236457
any contact lenses can fuck your eyes. Literally any, even the ones your doctor gives you. You can end up with a defective pair and it will scratch your eye (luckily it's usually obvious when a lens is defective), or if you're dirty or handle the lenses improperly.

Do your research, basically

>>9236744
you should go get your BC. Usually 8.6 is good for everyone but if your BC is something like 8.4 you'll need to know and avoid anything over than 8.6 - if your BC is under 8.4 you really can't wear circles

>>9236761
Alright thank you!
And it's probably kind of a stupid question, but is there a way to find that out without having to see an optometrist?

>>9236827
Nope, y'all gotta be measured by an optometrist. I didn't start wear circle lenses until years after I started wearing regular contacts. Basically you have to go to the eye doctor and request to be fitted for the color contact brands they have there to find out all your measurements. If you get lucky and don't have astigmatism you can look at your prescription sheet or the base curve labeled in the boxes to find out. The reason circle lenses have a bad reputation is because the majority of the people who bought and wore them never went to the eye doctor and got fitted. They just went online willy-nilly and put the lenses in their eyes without even knowing contact lens care basics.

>brighter blue contacts highlight my non-white features making me just look like an ugly white person rather than a pretty black one

>>9237106
try a darker blue?

>>9237106
If you've been struggling with finding contacts then maybe shoop varying shades of blue into a photo to see which might be best suited - then try finding lenses to match? Probably way cheaper than buying a whole load of lenses.

>>9237187

Hate to clutter this thread with a question that's probably been asked a million times, but have any of you ever seen this contact or one the looks similar? I've been searching for hours and haven't found anything remotely like it. It doesn't look shopped, but wondering if you guys have already encountered this lens before.

Would also be quite happy with something like >>9237211 but with hearts instead.

I just joined the preorders for these two lenses from 19ninety-six. They're both from the brand Bella-Eye. The ones on the left are the Elves 3 Tone series and the ones on the right are the Berry Jam series. Their diameters are both 14.5mm. I wanted a lens with a brown limbal ring and honey tones. It's my first time ordering this brand and from 19ninety-six.

I can review them when they come in if anyone is interested. My eyes are naturally dark brown.

>>9237885
Yes please!

Omg these lenses were so deceiving. I put them on thinking they would do nothing for my eye color and boy was a wrong. These cannot be worn without make up. Pic related, please excuse my lack of make up and horrible dark circles.

>>9240862
Those are cool. They look like they aren't weighted though, like they're rotating on your eye. Is that the case?

>>9240876
Yeah, they sort of drift upwards when I blink. It's weird because I don't have astigmatism and usually the lens drift happens when the base curve is off.

>>9240862
Is yellow and pink the only colors for this pattern ?

This may be a silly question, but recently a pair on lenses I need for a costume expired. Only by a couple of weeks though. I need them for this weekend and the next and I have hardly really worn them. (Maybe like 2 times in the past year). Do you guys think I should risk it and wear them or just use a pair I have that are already in date (but inaccurate for the cosplay).

>>9237830
http://uniquelenses.co.uk/Love-Heart-Contact-Lenses This website have them but I never use it so I'm not sure of is quality.

If you know how to use japanese web site : https://cecil.cc/item_detail.php?ino=doki2-brw&dr=0

I also find this one in the same style : http://www.pplens.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=191


The main problem with those type of lens is that they are rare so only weird/ not sure of the quality sell them ( except cecil, this brand is ok )

>>9240882
Maybe the material means the base curve is a bit off? I was told by my optom that different materials have different degrees of stiffness so base curve can mean different things in different lens materials.

>>9241235
You've had them out for a year AND they've expired AND you want to wear them? No-one is going to say that's a good idea, the likelihood of something massively horrible happening to your eyes is probably not that high (most likely things are conjunctivitis and corneal abrasion which you are likely to feel) but why risk your one pair of eyes for the sake of a single costume?

>>9237885
can you link the ones on the right?

a long time ago I asked about circle lenses that looked realistic and natural brown on dark skin. Like could someone please tell me what they were again? If it helps it was reviewed by a black girl and they totally looked real.

>>9243716
I know photobucket is like an ancient relic but the old Gaia circle lens albums might have what you're looking for. There's a tab and and drop menu that has sub-albums by brand and color:

I really wish I could wear contacts, I think I'm allergic to them. Every time I do my eyes get irritated and begin to cry/water along with my nose getting runny. I've tried even frequently using eyedrops and that didn't even help...

>>9229640

you weren't helpful at all anon. why go looking for hours through the archive when i could have someone tell me the name of these specific lenses? i dont want gold contacts in general i would really love the pair she is wearing

>>9243842
Not the same anon but I've been searching for them and I can't find them. They look a lot like Dolly+ brown in design but the color is too yellow. Frankly I would find the girl's Instagram and ask her in the comments.

I got some lenses today but forgot to check if the site had any multi purpose solution and sure enough, most places are sold out. Anyone recommend a good multi purpose solution? I'm running low on my Neo Plus.

Just curious if anyone's bought a Princess Pinky Gemini bundle from pinkyparadise yet.. if so, how were they?
I'm considering getting 2 of the night bundles since my prescriptions are different, but that's 8 pairs of contacts which is a commitment even if I only wear each for 2 weeks

Thanks in advance!

>>9246490
Also just realised they're new which is probably why no one's bought / gotten them yet. Biting the bullet, will review once I get them I guess

I think they're the "Aegis Yellow Gold" contacts from JAIL / Harukaze Wigs. I've used them before & they're actually as bright and opaque as you see in the stock pic.

Their English web shop carries monthly lenses in powers up to -6.50, but if you can bother with a proxy, the Japanese store front carries 5-packs of dailies (up to -8.00) for a similar price.

>>9243806
Are you sure your base curve isn't wrong? I get that when I am wearing contact lenses that don't fit.

File: korean_color_contact_lenses.jpg (28KB, 364x364px) Image search: [Google]

28KB, 364x364px

What do you think of korean circle lenses? I was looking for some vibrant ones, unfortunately, most of them don't seem to be 100% safe. For instance, Uniqso has wide sortiment of beautiful vibrant colored lenses, but according to this review, they can turn out to be quite harmful for your eyesight.

https://apeanutbutterfiend.wordpress.com/2016/01/04/almost-blind-from-uniqso-contacts/

>>9252024
all of these lenses are Korean or Malaysian and none of them are 100% safe. uniqso gets them from the same suppliers as any site.

>>9232280
To clarify on the astigmatism: to get perfect vision, you need specialist lenses. For daily wear clear contacts, you absolutely want this, but for circle lenses I've never had a problem just getting my plain prescription without astigmatism correction. As far as I know this is completely safe-- for a while I had regular contact lenses because the toric ones were too uncomfortable, and my doctor also wrote me for reading glasses just to accomodate my astigmatism. Your vision won't be as good, but it won't hurt your eyes.

.1 below can be tight feeling depending on the brand. I'm 8.7 and I've never had a problem with super pinky dolly eye contacts in 8.6, but some other brands are way too uncomfortable to wear.

>>9241235
I've done it. They were kind of uncomfortable, but my eyes were fine. Do it at your own risk, because your eyes may not be fine-- like other anon said you run the risk of corneal abrasion.

>>9243806
Some things to check.
- Is it the same pair of contacts every time? Some are just really uncomfortable on certain people's eyes.
- Is your base curve correct?
- Are you sure they're not inside out?
- Did you wash your hands beforehand, and rinse the contacts?
- Are you giving them time to settle? Mine always make my eyes freak out for the first minute, then I can't even feel them.

Got them a few days ago, soaked for a day and tried them today. First pic is my natural eye colour, second and third are the Princess Pinky Gemini Night in grey.
The contacts look super unassuming in saline, but they're quite nice when worn and show up great over dark coloured eyes

Can't say much about comfort at this stage as I've only worn them for an hour, but no prickling or anything and they were easy to put in

Anyone know how these lenses look on light brown eyes?
They look yellow in the picture, but on the model they look brown, but on some of the review pictures they look yellow, but they're called brown, so I'm really confused...

>>9252648
Up close they're pretty stark and honey colored. From farther away and in dimmer light they look more brown. That's just the nature of gold lenses - unless you're getting something that's super opaque and unrealistic it's going to fade to brown in some light.

Don't reference the model - there's tons of example photos on different sellers' sites.

>>9229612
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!

>>9243806
Are you soaking them for 24 hrs first?

>>9252024
Annnnd now I'm never buying from uniqso again

>>9252745
you know buying from uniqso and buying from pinky paradise, honeycolor, etc. is the same, right? They use the same suppliers.

>>9252024
Could someone who read this summerize this to me? I'm too lazy to read it if it's just gonna turn out to be "my eyes hurt a lot but I thought it was ok but it wasn't", because I'm so tired of people not taking lenses out when they hurt and acting like lenses are the most dangerous thing in the universe

Also, never bought from uniqso anyways since they rely a lot on sponsors like Anzu, and I personally think that's kinda unprofessional (and I really dislike Anzo)

>>9252772
It's a painful experience of one girl, who did this sponsorship thing with Uniqso (I don't really know how it works). The scariest part of this story is that Uniqso told this girl to cut the defect lenses into half (and she was dumb enough to do so), so at the end she couldn't bring them to her optometrist to review.Overall The communication with this company was shitty, and the girl ended up with cornea abrasion and $150 bill for the medical expenses.

How creepy would these lenses look? I want to cosplay Kanan from LoveLive! Sunshine and I want my eyes to look super ultra sparkly moe kawaii desu. It's GEO Anime CPA3 Violet lens.

Beforehand every panics about circle lenses: just realize that the mass majority of people who buy and wear circle lenses do not run into defective lenses. There will be defective lenses out there. Ways to combat eye damage is to inspect the lenses rigorously before putting into your eyes and to follow your gut feeling. If you have any doubts in wether a lens is safe or something feels off about it, don't wear it and re-order. You might lose your money but 30 bucks is much less valuable than your eye health.

>>9253233

>>9252731
Thanks anon! I''m looking for really clear gold ones (but not just like a yellow circle because they look really creepy), so that might not be that good in that case
Thanks for the info

>>9253826
No problem. They're a good option as far as golds go, so long as you're okay with how opaque the design is. The other gold I like is moe moe brown, but again you'll probably have a similar issue where they look gold up close but can look brown in darker light.

>>9253233
That and people often fail to realize that these sites are shipping out the same brands like EOS, GEO, etc. Assuming they aren't selling fakes, buying a brand/style from Pinky Paradise is the same as buying it from Honeycolor - you're just choosing a supplier based on their shipping, price, and customer service. I know people who've received defective lenses from Pinky Paradise too, and it all just boils down to the site's willingness to replace them. It sucks that girl had such a bad experience, especially since I remember someone mentioning in one of these threads that Uniqso replaced their problem order immediately.

That being said, this is the second scarepost that uses the exact same "but according to this review, they can turn out to be quite harmful for your eyesight" language:

If I'm cosplaying Law from OP, should I go with grey or yellow contacts?

>>9254144
Yeah, I don't really mind the design being opaque, I actually prefer that.
The problem is that my eyes are already gold:ish brown, so I'm afraid I'll see little to no difference and waste like $20.
Thank you again for the help though! I'll check out the other lenses you recommended too.

>>9225977
I've kinda lost my passion for cosplay, 'cause my eyes have become so dry wearing contact lenses feels like torture after just 15 minutes and thinner, "natural" contacts get stuck in my eyes.. Has anyone had similar experiences? I think this might be because of my contraception pill, sice the dryness of my eyes started about the same time I got on the pill. I've tried the strongest pharmacy eyedrops, but nothing has worked. I don't think I would quit the pill, since it makes my periods from hell actually bearable, so I was hoping someone might have another solution..? I'm getting really desperate here..

>>9255122
Oh yeah, and I've tried really hydrating one day lenses, but those got stuck in my eyes the second I put them in..

>>9253035
http://ebbitan.blogspot.cz/2013/02/cosplay-circle-lenses-geo-animation-cp.html

Still, I would prefer some more natural lenses, like Vassen cloud nine violet.

>>9255122
Have you gotten your base curve checked?

>>9257086
I haven't, but I had no issues with wearing circle lenses like 4 years ago, which was before I got on the pill. So I don't think that's causing the problem. My eyes are very dry outside of wearing lenses too, so I'm pretty sure the dryness is the cause of my problem with lenses.

>>9257681
Try getting your eyes checked by an eye doctor, he can also recommend you the right type of eye drops suited for your eyes. It can be a huge life improvement, trust me.

I have a problem with Girl's eyes, pic related. I want to cosplay the nanchatte version of her from the vid and I know you can do a lot just with makeup and maybe photoshop the eyes later but are there any lenses that come even close to this effect?

I've tried to search circle lenses that have a mix of cyan and violet but haven't found any. Obviously there aren't any lenses that look exactly like that but if I could just find the colour combo at least.

>>9263082
Well you're obviously never going to get violet pupils, and there are no cyan lenses I know of with a violet limbal ring. Your best bet is to find cyan lenses with a black, defined limbal ring. Given that the linework is done in violet as well it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to interpret it as black.

>>9263082
If you have the money, you can get them custom. I don't think you'd want to put that much effort in it though for a single costume.

If you have 200-400 dollars to drop, you could get custom lenses.

>borrowing contacts
That's a good way to go fucking blind wtf is wrong with her

>>9236457
I'd say it's mostly media exaggeration. I have really good eyes and I've used numerous costume contacts, never had a problem. I think the biggest issue is people not doing research to buy good quality lenses and idiots not knowing how to clean/take out/dispose of contacts.
Basically: know what you're doing before putting shit in your fucking eyeballs.

>>9266443
No. You're going to need to go to the doctor to get a measurement that you're not going to be able to get anywhere else. Why the fuck would you want to cheap out on something you're going to put onto one of the most sensitive parts of your body?

Why are poorfags like this?

>>9266454
Fair enough, but with contacts, you absolutely have to go to a doctor. Just tell them you want your eyes measured and it'll be a quick in-and-out trip.

>>9266452
I've noticed this trend
You want to pay for the contacts, pieces of flexible plastic that you stick on your fucking eye, but don't want to pay to go and see a doctor to make sure you get the right size?? How stupid can you possibly be baka

>>9266515

About to wear my circle lenses for the first time tomorrow, they're 15mm and I have asian eyes, anyone have any tips for putting them in? I'm terrified.

>>9266524
Nobody does. Suck it up.
Wearing lenses with the wrong measurements can be really fucking dangerous. Do you want to risk scratching your eye? Do you want to risk going blind? I'm pretty sure you don't. It's one hour out of your day and yiu could actually learn something (example: I learned I'm EXTREMELY prone to retinal detachment).

Make an effort to keep your eye wide open when you put them in (it helps stop you from blinking). You should also watch some youtube videos if you haven't already.

what shipping method do you guys like to use for uniqso? i don't really want to shell out $20 to get my lenses shipped via ups, but i also don't really trust dhl.
how have your shipping experiences been?

>>9267403
I also use airmail since I have never had my lenses seized with that method.

>>9267016
Except when those teens go to the eye doctor with fucked up eyes and some news network does a story on it.

Any fellow Asians ever try Vassen/Ifairy Super Crystal lenses before? I'm deciding between super crystal green, super pinky green, and the puffy 3-tone green for my cosplay. I think that super crystal green is the closest color to what I want, but I've only really used Super Pinky up to this point because I find that their colors show up better on my dark brown/black eyes than most brands.

>>9271133
I've actually been thinking about getting those ones myself, I'd love to see photos when you get them.

>>9246555
So have you received the lenses yet? I'm still waiting on more reviews for all colors in both series, myself.

>>9271537
If you're thinking about getting them, consider doing it right away, since they're on sale!
I'll post as soon as I get them, but they will probably have removed the sale by then

Recently ordered lenses from HoneyColor.
Super Pinky Blue, Bright Red, Violet, Gray and Dolly+ Brown
Unfortunately will have to review at the end of the month. Any one curious of the lenses?

>>9273733
I would love to wait for all of these to be reviewed! What color eyes do you have naturally?

>>9271442
Yup, I had the violet. They showed up well but didn't blend that well into my eyes since the pupil hole was pretty large and kinda round, not like other lenses. In all the photos you could see if the lens had moved even slightly. However if you're just looking for the colour then go for it.

>>9275142
If you wear any contact lenses with dry-eye they're super uncomfortable. Not in a stabbing or painful way but more like the lens feels heavy and dry. I had the same issue to the point wear my clear contact lenses were uncomfortable too. Basically I have to use prescription drops now and only wear daily circle lenses.

>>9275314

>>9270347
>>9270349

>>9271442
they're my favorite lenses, I have basically every color from that series. The color is very vibrant, and if your eyes are dark enough, the pupil hole's size looks fine.

Just saw 19ninetysix having a 1212 deal?
Sounds like a good deal, 18 bucks for a pair.

I've heard that cat eye lens spin a lot. Is this true? Shouldn't they be weighted like torics.
I'm trying to decide if I should risk it or just get normal round ones for an Albedo cosplay (overlord)
I've worn lens for a while but have never dealt with cat eye styles???

>>9278627
Good ones should be weighted, but halloween lens manufacturers usually don't bother. The weighted ones are usually too expensive for cosplay budget though.

>>9276043
I haven't forgotten this!

>>9225977
How often do you change the solution in your cases?

>>9280670
Once a week.

Just a heads up for anyone that wears toric lenses, Uniqso is having a 20% off sale on their EOS toric lenses. They're still $40~ a pair but at least it's not full price

>>9280060
My apologies, I can't get them to photograph well enough to post pictures (yet). Let me just say they're mildly disappointing. They're not as opaque as the stock images led me to believe.

>>9281089
Ah, lame. Well, I still look forward to your pictures.
On a related note, I ended up ordering a few pairs from Pinky Paradise for their sale period, and am waiting to test the opacity for those.

Uniqso lets you stack coupons too so the discount would be higher than that. You can get an extra 10% off from one of their sponsors's coupon codes and when I bought from them earlier this year they had a 15% special for new customers.

So I've never bought a pair of circle lenses before because of the price, but Pinky Paradise has had them 50% off since Black Friday.
I've always wanted a pair very similar to my eye color, and this pair seems perfect (also in pic related):
http://www.pinkyparadise.com/Vassen-Rainbow-Eyes-Grayish-Blue-p/e14-grey.htm
The problem is, I have moderate astigmatism in my right eye (AXIS: 1.75) and extremely minor in my left eye (AXIS: .05).
I've read up on toric lenses, but I wear prescription glasses.
Therefore, I don't want/need prescription circle lenses to correct any issue with my eyes since I prefer wearing glasses.

What difference does non prescription toric make on your eyes with moderate astigmatism?
I know they're weighted, but do I really need them? Will plano be THAT uncomfortable?

Bumping this again. >>9268571

>>9281340
you'll be fine, I have a moderate astigmatism in both eyes and I never use toric lenses. They tend to be slightly uncomfortable after extended use, but I use them several days a week. If you're just using them occasionally for cosplay or whatever there should be no issue

by the way, is anyone else having trouble with pinkyparadise constantly refreshing? I wanted to buy some lenses on their last day of sale but the site literally just keeps reloading over and over whether from a computer or mobile...

>>9268571
Pinky Paradise stocks Princess Pinky prescription scleras for about 80 USD.

>>9288761
I've watched Magical Girl Raising Project and honestly I think the cross patterns are just eye shinies since a few characters have them.
I'd just stick to a basic grey color.

Is wearing non-toric lenses really so bad if you have astigmatism? I wear regular prescription contacts from the drug store occasionally and it's caused no problems for me at all. I understand if you're wearing them full time but circle lenses aren't like that anyway. Toric lenses are painfully expensive and the selection is extremely limited.

I don't think so anon, they're only on characters with a religious/holy motif for their character.

Can't decide which pair to get? Anyone want to throw some suggestions or have them and have a favorite set?

>>9289009
Yeah, that's IF you ever get them. There's been not so great reviews of that site posted to one of these threads before, as well as floating around google so I might just do a charge back with my credit card if I were you anon, but if you have hope then maybe keep waiting for them. I hope it works out for you anon.

>>9289126
where2cop?

>>9289007
Whenever I cosplay I just wear regular prescription lenses since I don't cosplay all of the time, and it's so much cheaper. I think the only difference is that you see double a little bit, I don't think anything serious will happen to your eyes as long as you don't wear them regularly.

>>9289007
Depends how bad your astigmatism is.

>>9289608
I have the same problem, I discover that I have the smallest astigmatism correction you can have on only one eye, and I'm a little worried because I wear circle lens at least every week during the whole day, and it still disturb me a little when I read but I don't want to hurt my eye.

>>9289009
Oh Shit. I just ordered it in their recent batch.

>>9289132
>>9290548
Don't worry anons, I finally got them today thank goodness. I tested their ids and they're not fakes thank goodness.

I ordered from them for the same reason that they were the only ones who were offering the rainbow lenses. They look super pretty at least!

>>9289007
I got the Neo Dali ones from Honey Color. about 60 bucks isn't that bad since they are good for a year.

>>9293774

Thank god, I guess I don't have to worry that much. Do a review for us! I'm curious on how it looks!

>>9292595

Brands of care products vary between countries, as things like lens solution brands are rarely international. Look for what's available in your country stores and Google them to see if any product reviews exist for ones you found.
First time lens buyers will need the following:
- lens solution ( for cleaning & storing in lens case with there exist dual purpose ones, just read the labels)
- some lens cases ( reccomend to not use the same one longer than 3 months)
- optional* a lens cleaner , can do by hand by gently rubbing them with solution or can use a device to do it for you
- optional* travel case sets (if you intend to travel with leness these can be useful as they have little bottle for carrying solution along with your lenses and things like lens tweezers/ applicators all in one travel box)
-optional* lens tweezers / applicators -not entirely necessary, however some people find them handy and prefer to use them rather than touch their lenses with their fingers all the time

In the end, there is not much you *need* to have, only about 3 things are really necessary , the rest are all up to preference of what you personally will need and prefer to use which you will figure out over time.

Why is it that the same lenses have such varying descriptions on different lens sites?

http://www.ifairycon.com/eos-new-adult-blue-blytheye-blue-14-8mm/
>EOS New Adult Blue - 14.8 mm diameter!

http://www.uniqso.com/eos-new-adult-blue?search=%20EOS%20New%20Adult
>EOS New Adult Blue - 14.0 mm diameter

This is why I have trust issues.

>>9298441
One is probably the enlargement effect and the other is diameter of the printed part.

has anyone tried ordering from pinkyparadise since they started requiring prescription?

Any anons with small eyes try lenses with 14.5-15.0 diameter? My eyes are on the smaller side cause Asian monolids, so I'm wondering if I'll look too much like a bug if the diameters are too big.

Hey everyone, bumping to update about my 19ninety-six order.

Pic related is how my I-DOL Queen series in europe blue look like compared to my normal eye color (brown). No enlargement, but I've never worn a more convincing and natural looking blue contact before so I'm pleased with the effect! At first I thought I was ripped off because the lenses look really underwhelming and grainy in the case, but once you pop them in they're amazing. Sorry for potato quality but it just goes to show how great these lenses are for color, I didn't touch the color on the photo. The ones by Bella Eye are probably the same quality if you didn't know which brand to go with, it's up to you.

I'll update you with a better quality picture of my Danna Rainbow pinks once I get some more natural light. I also have Eye-Wish Muse series in chocolate if anyone would like better pictures of that one.

I ordered some lenses from Pinky Paradise's Black Friday sale and they've been in German customs for about a month even though I live in California. Is this normal?

>>9303312
HOLYSHIT, for a moment there when I was looking at your photo, i really really thought that the left eye was your natural color UNTIL I READ THE COMMENT MADE! Omg IM SO GETTING THESE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REVIEW!!! Im confident to get them now!

>>9298858
i can't believe they're doing that, but it must have been imposed upon them. I hope this doesn't happen to other sites, since i'll be forced to buy expensive ass toric lenses if they require prescriptions.
Time to buy in bulk just in case

>>9306844
The USFDA is lobbied to by pharmaceutical companies so it's no surprise that the greed assholes don't what their money going to oversea companies. It's fucking bullshit because it's such a small market. Greedy fuckers.

>>9303328
That happened to my order. Supposedly it shipped 12/9 but after tracking kicked in, it was just sitting in Germany and only today did the status change from "Accepted" to being shown in Frankfurt as "processed through facility". The tracking indicates the parcel originated from Germany... so what's the deal are they still in Malaysia or what.

Whatever, I won't order from them again because of the verification requirement now, which will not fly with my optometrist, and because their payment system was a complete shitfest to use. Once I get my parcel, I'll be happier, but I can't believe it just sat there for so long, it wasn't even near Christmas and while I expected slower shipping, I didn't expect it to sit.

>>9309178

Yeah, I just checked mine again and it's still in Germany. It's sad, I won't be ordering from PP anymore after this. Thanks for the update, it gave me a bit of hope for my lenses.

>>9309591
For what it's worth, my just updated yesterday as being processed through ISC NYC. Now I wonder how many days it will take to get moved upstate, but at least it's closer.

There's still hope. When did your parcel ship?

>>9306882
Many optometrists will still be cunts when it comes to domestic third-party companies. I get my glasses from Warby Parker, and my old eye doctor kept on trying to dissuade me from getting a copy of prescription because he wanted me to buy his frames over "those cheap Chinese ones".

I switched to a local chain that gave me an exam and script no problem, but shit started to hit the fan when I began ordering contacts online. Apparently your script has to specify the exact lens, down to the color options, and if it doesn't, the retailer will contact your doctor to verify that everything is okay. My transactions were fine the first two times, but after that they refused to verify any more refills. (Spoilers, I was saving 50% on my lenses by shopping online.)

It's because of bullshit like this that I decided to go for circle lenses, actually. I do think that everyone should get an eye exam before being able to buy contacts, but if you have healthy eyes with minor correction needs, you shouldn't have to be held hostage by your doctor because you want lenses in purple instead of grey.

I'm going to cosplay Ahri from LoL, she has bright yellow eyes. I want to buy circle lenses is this colour.

About PinkyParadise now needing prescriptions.

Does this only apply to people who get them in prescription strength? I don't need contacts and only use them for cosmetic reasons, so I get plano. I would think it would be hard for me to get a prescription when I actually don't need contacts.

>>9306844
How bad is your astigmatism? I want to avoid paying for the expensive toric lenses. My astigmatism is bad though (+3.00)

>>9310845

It doesn't say when it was shipped, but it was in Germany on Dec 2. I just got the same update as you did, hopefully they'll be here in time for the con.

Anyone bought lenses from Don Quijote/donki? I noticed they sell them on their website
I'm worried about getting them shipped internationally though because the fda is cracking down on lenses
Like if my SS marks them as lenses on the package it could be a problem, assuming they don't just straight up refuse to buy it

Just got my lenses yesterday. So shipping took exactly one calendar month 12/9/16 - 1/9/17... most of which was just the parcel sitting in Germany. Most of the Taobao items I order arrive in like 2 weeks from China. Europe is even closer so I was quite surprised it took this long and the date I wanted them for has passed- oh well, I'll save them for next time.

For an extra twist of confusion, the envelope has a pre-printed return address of Malaysia on one side, but on the actual shipping info label side, it says if the parcel cannot be delivered to return it to Niedaraula which is about an hour from Frankfurt where my parcel was marked as "originating". Even if US residents were able to still order from PP, I certainly would not. What a cluster. Hope your lenses arrive soon, anon.

I thought that I had just imagined buying contacts during the 50% off sale, because I never got a confirmation email, but today they showed up so that was a nice surprise!

The base curve is 8.5 though. Fuck.

>>9315644
I buy in-store and they're fine, but good luck getting them shipped overseas. Your SS will have to fill out paperwork indicating how much power or correction you need.

Anyone use FedEx regularly when shipping circle lenses? I only use registered air for shipping but ifairycon only offers FedEx and the last time I bought from them my lenses were seized by US Customs and I had to pay 30 bucks and almost never got my lenses. I'm so scared it's going to happen again and it won't get them this time since they aren't Acuvue lenses.

>>9316946
Wow, that is a steep-ass fee. I ordered from them in August and used FedEx, no problems with shipping or customs. It may be that it was just your luck that your package was selected for inspection and held?

>>9315638
i'm not sure which part accounts for the astigmatism so i'll just give you the whole thing:
prescription is -4.75, cyl is -.75 and axis 170.
It can be hit or miss though, some lenses won't fit but pretty much all Geo lenses work and I've heard from other people with astigmatism that Geo usually work as well. I go up to -5 to make up for the lenses not being toric

>>9317510
Cyl and Axis measurements are for astigmatism. That said, -0.75 is not horrible which is why you can get away with using -5.00 spherical lenses and have decent vision.

>>9315638
+3.00, are you far sighted with astigmatism or did you mean that to be -3.00 for the cyl measurement?

I feel your pain, astigmatism anons. My prescription looks so absurd. L: -0.25 x -4.75 x 10 | R: +0.25 x -4.75 x 175
Certainly not the worst, but no way I can get away with buying spherical lenses for vision correction or toric circle lenses. I just buy plano colors and wear my glasses for navigation or wear my clear prescription lenses.

>>9315929
Ughhhhh. I won't need a prescription like for pinky paradise right? Just hope that customs doesn't go through my stuff?

K y'all so I want geo black magic lenses because they seem like the realist looking lenses I can find for black-brown eyes.

My optometrist is willing to okay circle lenses.

I went to a nice lenses place in Chinatown and the man there said that my eyes are already very large and so the effects aren't really gonna be worth it but honestly I just want them bigger.

Before I go out through all this trouble with pinkyparadise and their long ass delivery time would anyone recommend something to make my eyes bigger but natural?

>>9319587
I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but are you asking for a way to make your eyes look bigger without lenses?
If so, makeup will make your eyes look much bigger than they are, but if you're gonna cosplay heavy makeup will be no option. A little makeup goes a long way though.

>>9319637
No I mean a natural looking contacts that's not Dolleye big. Ones I can wear daily and people not freak out you know?

Makeup isn't something I'm really interested in beyond tightlining my upper lid.

Has anyone personally used Desio lenses? I am curious to hear feedback about them, the colors look amazing but my eyes are really dark brown and the pics I see on Instagram etc. are filtered as fuck so I don't know if those are accurate representations or the girls are wearing so much makeup that the photos are taken far away to emphasize the makeup rather than the lenses.

I'm basically interested in how Innocent White and Desert Dream lenses would actually look on dark brown eyes as well as overall comfort etc. of the lenses, shipping issues(?), etc. Any help?

>>9319587
>nice lenses place in Chinatown
>nice

Okay anon
>the man there said that my eyes are already very large
Well, your eyes are huge, but your irises are pretty small in comparison.
But I'm guessing you mean irises, because if you're talking about your eyes then lenses obviously wont change the size of that

>>9315719

I finally got mine yesterday! Same situation as yours with the envelope. Truly fucked, I won't be ordering from them again, especially since they're asking for prescription info now. Thanks for your support through this wild ride, anon.

Has anyone had problems checking out with Pinky Paradise? My payments have been unsuccessful. I read their notice about it, and save for contacting my bank, I've done everything else correctly. I haven't had problems with them before, but my last order was over half a year ago. I'd prefer not to order from Honeycolor because DHL always screws me over with customs fees (it's the only shipping option).

I'm waiting on my Honeycolor order, I can post later.

Now that PP is no longer an option, who's left? Honeycolor is the only one I can think of because I don't really trust uniqso
>>9328036
They require a prescription now

>>9328036
As >>9328181 and others said, if you're in the US or South Korea, they now require a prescription. It may be rejected if you didn't provide that info. If you're not a resident of the US or S. Korea, it's likely their system being a dick.

I'm >>9309178, I managed to sneak in an order before their new prescription requirement in December, but my payment failed the first 2 times which was garbage because my credit card works fine. 3rd time, my payment made it through. Nothing changed, I submitted the same information and used the same card all 3 times. It's just a shitty payment system if you ask me.

>>9328181
Pretty much just Honeycolor. They don't have as wide of a selection and PP, but they offer Neo vision lenses while PP does not. Neo lenses are stupidly comfortable.

>>9328181
>>9328640

I'll try contacting PP's customer service, to see if they can manually put it through this time, but I guess I'll be ordering from Honeycolor in the future. The contacts I want are on both sites, but my friend wants a fews pairs that are not on HC, so that's another reason we wanted to stick with PP. Thanks for the help!

>>9328181
>>9328640
There's a lot of talk about how PP started sending people obvious fakes about a year ago. I honestly wouldn't try too hard to buy from them.

>>9253008
Oh jeez. I know exactly who you're talking about and it never occurred to me that the reason they asked her to cut the lenses was to avoid responsibility. I had just assumed they requested the photo so they could assure she wasn't making stuff up to get free products. Yikes. One more reason I'm not ordering from them again.

Just got my Honeycolor order. My free lenses are Dueba Gossip Green. I'm excited to try em

I love Beuberry lenses for comfort, to the level I'd rather wear a similar design in Beuberry than the brand that originated it. I have trouble with EOS.

My friends and I have ordered from uniqso for a while and never had a problem. They also have sales pretty regularly.

do circle lenses exist for people that are farsighted with a high prescription(like +7.50)? the only colored lenses i've seen that go that high are custom painted or solotica(which aren't even circle lenses)

Has anyone successfully ordered Luxury Barbie lenses? They look great but I have absolutely no idea how to order, if they even take orders to the U.S.

What now?

>>9303312
>The ones by Bella Eye are probably the same quality
I have a grey pair by Bella Eye (they're actually caled "pale", which are supposedly slightly brighter than the grey) and while they are really natural and loads of people thought it was my natural eye color, they aren't nearly as vivid as the ones in your pic, imo. Must try the ones you got, the contrast looks fab.

I would recommend going a shade lighter if you want a true pale-gray lens. The camera I took that older picture with was from my old phone and the specs were pretty potato. I have a better quality cam and I'll post the pic shortly in natural light.

Pic related is my Danna pink in natural light.
I'm really disappointed with the color. Like this photo has a touch of contrast even and you can't even tell there's anything on my eye. I didn't bother doing low-light/yellow light for this lens because it basically just looks like my natural eye color.

I'm sure it would look swell on light eyes, but it does nothing for dark.

Another thing that might annoy people is that these lenses are really foldy/squishy for some reason. It makes them really hard to put in, but also hard to tell if you've got them inside out (plano) until it's in your eye and it feels weird.
For the money I really don't like them.

So this is the more accurate color in natural light. But still, it's a very good natural lens.

This Youtuber did more than a few reviews of the different colors if you're interested.

that go up to -8 or -10

>>9336558
Tell them you want contacts, or just plain use your words to ask for the base curve

>>9338574
I literally asked just that. They just told me what I said in my post, that they can't disclose it and even if I paid I probably wouldn't get it unless I medically required contacts.

>>9330075
When did you place your order? Mine's being held in Germany and its shipping status hasn't changed for a week, so I'm feeling pretty paranoid about whether it'll come in time...

>>9338951
Wait, isn't it illegal for optometrists to not disclose your measurements or contact lens prescription after measuring? I'd say find a new optometrist.

https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0116-prescription-glasses-and-contact-lenses#rights

>>9339250
But the problem is I've got perfect vision so I don't need a fitting without paying $100. I'm not in the USA, so it's different.

>>9328181
fuuuuck that, Uniqso is a million times better than honeycolor.
Fuck honeycolor in general

>>9339270
You'd have to pay 100 for contact fitting whether or not your vision is bad.

>>9339273
I see. The one thing putting me off is that the optician told I'd probably not get the measurements if I didn't need contacts, even if I paid. It's stupid, for some reason they're not allowed to disclose that information.

>>9340629
Couldn't you go in and ask to be fitted for colored contacts? Those are available in planos but you still would need a prescription for them. Also, some doctors can fit you for things such as special effects lenses(think ones that are used on movie sets).

>>9340673
Hmm it might work, I'll give that a try next week. Thanks for the advice!

So I tired on the new I.Fairy Ava grey lenses and I'm speechless. They're absolutely enchanting and are much more natural than I thought they would be. I didn't want to take them off. I highly recommend them if you have brown eyes and actually want to change your eye color with out it looking ridiculous.

I have a stupid question for fellow astigmatism anons. I've never worn circle lenses before and really want to give it a try, however I'm slightly hesitant on dropping fiddy+ dorra on something that might end up looking stupid on me. I'm looking for very natural enlarging brown contacts, natural enough that people will just assume I have large irises and don't get all up in my face to figure out what's up with my eyes.

My prescription is R: 0.00 cyl -1.75 axis 100 / L: -1.00 cyl -1.75 axis 90
Is there a way for me to get away with trying non-torics to see how a certain type of lens looks on me, or would those just completely not fit and be a waste of money?

I've worn lenses before, but I'd just like to check the general consensus again. How long should I wear lenses? I know the majority say 6-8 hours max but I'd like to wear some to the later events too (like 10-1am if there's good panels/dances).
So obviously you can see how people spend more than 8 hours at a con. Is it ok to wear them for long periods of time a few times a year?
Would taking them out and letting my eyes rest for an hour or two and then put them back on for a few hours work or should I just let my eyes breathe? I'm planning on getting out of cosplay and into a costume, but nothing character specific so maybe lenses wouldn't matter at that point? I just really love the look of lenses but also don't want to damage my eyes.
TL;DR: how long can you wear lenses consecutively? And if I take an hour break can I wear them again for a little longer?

>>9342055
Just order ones with the smaller diameters, most sites will let you filter by diameter. You'd want probably no bigger than 14.2mm

>>9342080
I take my lenses out for three hours and just chill around the con put then back in again. I got 12 hours of wear for that day with minimal redness. But I had to not wear my lenses the next day. Basically I always plan a cosplay that doesn't require me to wear contacts so the day after I wear circle lenses for my cosplay I can give my eyes a break.

>>9342080
The main issue is that your eyes get strained from contacts. How long I find depends on your eyes, quality of contacts and environment. I don't think taking an hour break helps since you are touching your eyes and need to give the contacts a doodling between usage. Best to just take them off when it starts getting bad and wear glasses. Especially if you aren't doing cosplay at night.

>>9342092
I've been looking at Neo Dali Brown and Neo Dali Extra Brown because according to reviews those look pretty natural. They also come in toric and non-toric versions so I figured that if I'm going to need toric after all, I won't have to start my search all over again.

>>9342153
if you order Neo lenses in toric be careful, they tend to have issues. Also don't use honeycolor if you go for toric, they one time sent me a pair of very clearly non-toric lenses when I had ordered toric and dropped all communication with me to the point of blocking me on social media. It was those exact lenses, the neo dali extra brown toric

how long has pinkyparadise been asking that you go to a doctor for a lens fitting to get lenses?

I'm 0.00 just give me my lenses holy shit my eyes didnt shrink or grow

i have problems to get my contact lenses into the eyes. They are so soft and my eyes blink to hard if i get my finger close to my eyes is there any solution to my problem.

>>9342080
Hm, I totally get your desire to have cool lenses in all day but I suggest following what your eyes tell you. I typically plan one cosplay a day that needs colored lenses, then either wear my normal lenses or glasses the rest of the time. I usually have a 3-4 hour block at least without lenses in as well. That said, if your late-night chilling is just panels/dances, your eyes are not going to be much of a focus so I wouldn't think the need for lenses is as great(?) Even less so if you are going to consume alcohol because it basically starts to dehydrate your eyes and will make wearing lenses super uncomfortable. Really though, do what your eyes are comfortable with.

>>9345066
Practice, practice, practice. A lot of people newer to lenses are just freaked out by putting their finger near their eyes. Don't touch your eyes, but you can get used to fingers being close by simply putting them near your eyes until you get used to it. When applying the lens, try adding a drop of saline/rewetting drops/ any non-peroxide lens solution into the lens, look upward, and let the liquid in the lens sort of help suction it onto the surface of your eye. Pressing the lens onto the surface of the eye will make it harder to apply them.

I have an astigmatism in both of my eyes and while I'd love to get toric circle lenses, they're very expensive ($50+), there's only a small selection, and they won't come in time before the next convention I'm attending.

I'm wondering as a person with astigmatism can I wear regular prescription circle lenses?

>>9347557
Depends on your astigmatism. Mild is fine, a moderate or extreme one is going to be tough. The rule of thumb I'd heard is you vary your BC by around 1 but beyond that you'll have a tough time (my BC is 8.5-8.6ish and I can't wear 8.8 lenses at all).

Question about my circle lenses.
They are yearly prescriptions. I opened them in May 2016 and haven't worn them since. However, I clean them and change the solution every month.
Would they still be safe to wear? Also if you do wear circle lenses pretty regularly would you get new ones every month or the yearly ones still okay? Thanks

>>9351443
Thanks! So how would they differentiate between myopia & hyperopia if they don't use +/-? That's mostly what I was worried about, I didn't want to accidentally buy lenses that were +3.00 instead of -3.00

>>9352048
I would change solution every week, but you can try putting them in. If they cause discomfort, remove them immediately. I usually only get 8 or 9 months of comfortable wear out of my lenses unless they are 42% water content.

>>9352559
most circle lenses aren't available in positive prescriptions and usually they're listed separately.

For the Americans here

Can I get my base curve measured at the Walmart optics center?

So 19ninty-six now wants US customers to provide a prescription and a scan of your social security card. Why the social?

Hello! I need a little help finding some good green cat eye lenses. I think my biggest concern is finding a weighted/balanced pair that won't spin around in my eye. But at the same time, I'd really prefer if it had powers available, too. I know honeycolor and uniqso sell some cat eye lenses, but it seems like none of them are weighted (except: http://www.uniqso.com/crazy-halloween-anime-lenses/crazy-halloween-lenses/colorvue-crazy-cat-s-eyes?sort=rating&order=DESC but it's yellow and doesn't have any power options). Does anyone know of any other trustworthy sites that sell some? I think I can probably manage going without the power if I can't find any that are both weighted and have a power option, but I mostly don't want to have to readjust my lenses throughout the day in cosplay. Thanks!
