My eyes are too big for color contacts?..help!

Question

So i have had regular contacts for about 5 years, Acuvue Advance.

Well i ordered a pair of colored contacts and they didnt fit right, so i sent them back assuming they were the wrong prescription or something. That was 2 years ago, well recently i ordered another pair of colored contacts and they did the same thing! They made me look cross eyed, the color didnt fit my whole eye..my eyes are dark brown and i got green ones, so you could still see the dark brown and they werent covering my whole eye.

I heard some people cant wear colored lenses because there eyes are too large. Is this true?

Is there a different brand possibly that i could get that would work with me?

Thanks!

Answer 1

i'd say just go to your eye doctor.

they'll fit colored contacts i'm assuming.

Answer 2

If you go to a special eye doctor then they can make some specially that will fit your eye, but it costs a lot of money. I have a stignatism (or however you spell it lol) and they said it costs almost five hundred dollars for one pair!!!! I just stick to wearing regular ones.

Answer 3

I'm not sure about all that. I've been wearing color contacts for over 15 yrs. I have the Turqoise. Try talking with your eye doctor, You may be ordering hten int eh wrong size. Ask your doctor for your prescription and your eye measurements.  Good luck!
