Ups and downs of colored contacts?

Question

I am trying to decide if getting colored contacts is safe and worth it? I need to have blue/green eyes for an event I'm attending at the end of August, but LOVE my brown eyes and would never want to change them for an extended amount of time. This is why I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to getting lenses fitted for my eye.

My vision is fine and I don't use corrective lenses, I've seen a few sites such as : http://www.colorlens4less.com/index.php?main_page=index

Is this site legitimate? Is it possible to use colored lenses without getting a fitting? Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

don't get colored contacts, they look kinda fake and you can tell they are fake. try getting enhancing contacts. they enhance your natural color and it looks really nice. you have to get a fitting for the kind you are looking for, if you want it to be good.

P.S. for the girl above.

Answer 3

always get fitted contacts. go to an eye place that sells just 1 box. some make u buy like a package. but 1 box of freshlooks is around 30$ iv been wearing color contacts for about. 6 years. never get contacts that arent fitted. thats ur worst mistake. and they definately dont make me look fake.. lol  just get the natural colors. not the blends.

Answer 4

you need a "fit"

why? because there r such things as "base curves" and the lens has to "fit" your eye shape.  

And if u r a "new wear"(never worn before) u need proper training from professionals before usage.
