This is the brand that Paris wears. I didn't know she had naturally brown eyes! I want to get a pair now! not in blue though. I'm way too dark to pull that off, maybe hazel....

its kind of insane though, after wearing contacts for years, and then getting the lasik and now going back to wearing contacts again...

I would love to try colored contacts sometime, because I've always wondered what I'd look like with different-colored eyes.

Hope they dont make them in Black and White!

Hell, I need to see the DR. am going Blind but only in one eye!

Hope you arent meaning France (Paris) as they have a S**TY outlook anyway!

Never thought about wearing them...
My prescription was so high (-7.25) that I was happy to be able to find a contact I could wear

Now that I have had lasik done, I don't miss doing the contact lens stuff

I have worn them-- I liked them, but last time I ordered them the blue was a different shade. I have blue eyes and I was trying to intensify the shade. The box came in- I put one in and looked in the mirror and I couldn't tell the difference between the contact and my natural color. I guess they changed the shade--so I went back to the cheaper, regular contacts.

Thats almost what my rx is (-6.75 and -7.00)!! And my eyes haven't stabilized yet so I can't get lasik yet

I thought about it for awhile, because my mom and brother have awesome blue eyes and I got stuck with the green eyes. Blue and blonde just seem to go better though. Also the $$$ is a deterent.

I wish I had that problem....my grandma is a natural blonde with green eyes (100% mexican) and my grandpa is dark hair, dark eyes - we all look like my grandpa...but I could have been a green eyed blonde since it seemed to have skipped a generation and some of my cousins look like my grandma (not me though).

I wear colour enhancer contacts. My natural colour is hazel and my contacts have a slightly green tint to them, so it really brings out the green in my eyes.

I have colored contacts and I love them. I have bluish grey eyes and blue contacts.

i've tried color contacts but they kinda hurt my eyes and the ones that REALLY change the color rather than enhance look so fake on me...

Nah hon...I turned in my prescription and they were like DAYUMN!
And top it off I had to wear special contacts for the astigmatism from hell (-4.00 cylinder...very BAD astigmatism)
Contacts were easily $200 pair. Glasses that looked good were easily $250-300

No they had no colored contacts for people who had to wear toric lenses

i tried them a few times years ago and they never really changed my eye color, so i gave up.

I had toric color contacts a long time ago (when i was 15) but my cylinder was not that bad maybe about -2.00. either way, they were expensive as hell. came out to around $550 for the pair. I think the prices have come down since then, but still uber pricey!

I feel ya...my prescription is -6.5 in the left eye and -7.0 in the right. And I can never have Lasik because I had a detached retina, so...I'm stuck with contacts, but I don't mind because I'd rather be able to see some kind of way than not at all.
