Sick colored contact lenses!

Well guys, I was browsing the internet and I found these sick contact lenses! Now as soon as I saw them I said in my mind "HOLY SHIT. WANT. :nuts: ", Looked down, saw $200, and this was the expression on my face -> :'(. The ones below are from a website called http://www.9mmsfx.com/lenses.html which provides for professional movie making, I looked up some of them on Youtube, they look pretty sick. I'm sure you can get them for a lot cheaper from different websites. I'm seriously thinking about getting a pair. But what are the risks? I don't wanna permanently fuck up my eyeballs .. anyone have any knowledge about these?

Here are some that are being sold on the pro site:




Look at me, taking advice from internet strangers.

 

Wow, are those legit? dam my vision is 20/20 but now I want contacts!!! lmao look at Mangekyu and Blind Sight....sexy.

 

I got my pair for £10 for a joke shop. $200 is ridiculous.

 

All the 'vampyre' ones look amazing in my opinion.

But, i'd never buy any off a website. I was going to get some cool contact lenses until i no longer had money to spare. So i had done a TINY bit of research on them. Basically, because your eye type is unique, not everyone has the same sort of eye, you really should get them done at a proper optometrist that tests your eye and makes them custom for you. My girlfriend got cats eye contact lenses, and a couple other sorts i think, so don't think they can't make cool ones as well. I was personally going to get a deep blue (i have pale blue eyes), i just wanted natural looking lenses that would still make people go 'wow, i like your eyes'. At the optometrist i looked at, they said the lenses would cost about $150AU, and the sort they sold you put in your eyes for 3 months straight, then you have to dispose of them. But, its cheaper the second time you buy them because the first time you need an eye test + you need to do some eyecare thing that takes like 30 minutes which teaches you how to look after your contact lenses. If you get shit lenses, you can really fuck up your eyes, they will get all itchy and stuff just to begin with, then more severe effects after that. Imagine having itchy eyes!? How irritating that would be!

Point is, go to an optometrist, its quite possible they can make some of those lenses anyway. And, $150AU is a LOT less than $200US (i assume they are US$). Especially since when you get your second pair at an optometrist, its a lot cheaper. With those ones you will be paying the same price each time.

 

God those look sick, and I am in need of a new subscription.....hmm..

 

Those are pretty sweet, I got a pair of those kind of contact lenses about 2 years ago (18years old) at my eye doctor. I thought they were pretty cool so I went ahead and bought a pair to change the eye color to grey, They were about $120 for a 6 week supply. Long story short, they came in I picked them up and went to put them in...they did not "fit". The grey part of the contact went over my pupil causing me to see blurry, and the left one for some reason always scratched the hell out of my eye.

I know it wasn't because of me being new to contacts because I have been wearing them since I was about 14 with no problems.

But looking at some of those make me want to give it another shot haha. The "Dark Angel" ones look pretty sweet. Good luck choosing, I would have blown like 600bucks by now on different pairs =p.

 

When I was younger my camp counselor wore purple contacts and she said they didn't affect her eyes, and if they are being sold they must be fine.

 

The 'Black Sclera' and all of the Naruto ones are really cool.
Then again, I would probably only wear these on Halloween or some special occasion.

 

I used to have a pair of aqua blue ones, and a pair of blood-red ones. I have 20/20 vision, they didn't do much. It feels pretty weird when you take them off though.
I do reccomend you actually get doctors/optometrists advice before you go buying them unlike me

 

Even their sample images suck: the skin around the eyes looks photoshopped to hell, which means they probably did a lot of color balancing and level adjustments to exaggerate the effects.

 

That's marketing for you. Anything to sell their products.
I wouldn't trust some internet site. I bought mine at some store, they sold a lot of weird things there too.

 

I saw some chick whos eyes were that colour (red) you see in photos taken by older cameras. Was weird.

 

I like the Naruto one. Sharingan ftw. <3

 

I wear contacts because i hate wearing glasses. And i'll tell you now they are a pain in the ass. (but still prefer them over glasses).

You can get 2 types of contacts, daily's or weekly's.

Daily's, fit to the shape of your eye better, but are only able to be used for 1 day, you must dispose of them after that.

Weekly's, You can wear for 3-4 weeks and do not fit that great but are still good. But in the last week or 2 the vision is not as great (this probably won't apply if you're getting them for appearance)
You also need to clean weekly's after every use, which isn't that hard takes about 2-3 minutes.

Things to know about contacts:
1). Daily's are more expensive then weekly's, daily's are around $200 AUD for 3 month's supply and Weekly's are around $140 AUD. (Visual effects ones are obviously more expensive)
2). You are not meant to sleep with them in (however they have made ones that you can).
3). You are not meant to wear them for more than 8 hours because you need to let your eye 'breathe'.
4). Contacts aren't as great as they seem, simple things like wind blowing in your eyes and dust are major annoyances. Wind especially dry's out your contacts, then when you blink it sticks to your top eyelid and moves.

That's about all the info i know about them, hoped it helped.

 

Lol I love those they're so cool. I'd love to see everybodys reaction when they see them on someone.

 

pretty gay

 

Some of them are just plain weird, my friend had bright green ones though. It's whatever floats your boat, I guess.

 

Glow in the dark ftw

 

They look pretty cash.

 

I see a lot of people wearing these, or variants of them, during Halloween. I did not think that they costed so much. I honestly do not think that it is worth 200 just to have oddly-colored eyes.
