    Default Colour contacts for dark eyes

    I have been reading thru sm of the threads on this subj but most of them are pretty old, & I saw several posts saying things like 'but it has been awhile since I wore contacts so maybe there is better colour/technology/quality/whatever:' Violet or grey are my first choices but I am also considering hazel; my eyes are not black-as-deepest-nite but they are pretty dark. Nvr worn contacts b4, even regular ones, so any recommendations or do's&dont's? Already looking into getting an eye exam & plan to only wear them when I am not at the vanilla job as they seem to frown on these sorts of minor cosmetic adjustments.

    I think circle lenses are a fantastic choice. If you want something colorful and natural check out the neo glamour series. I have the blue and gray and they are beautiful!! ^_^

    Good sites to order from are Honey Color or Pinky Paradise. Keep in mind, they are based in eastern asia countries so they take agggges to ship but they are 100% safe. And, since they are made *for* asian (dark) eyes they do well to cover dark brown eyes.

    Hands down, best color contacts are Solotica contacts. They're from Brazil and it takes a while to get them, but they're very opaque so even the darkest eyes will experience a dramatic eye color change, and they're the most natural looking. Search for them on youtube and you'll see how good they're. I have try circle lenses and all types of brands, but nothing comes close to Solotica.

    Is about $100 and they last a year, so is pretty good deal, specially if you use prescription. If you don't use prescription it might not be.

    Seconding the Solotica suggestion. They look extremely natural and are very comfortable to wear. $100 may be a bit steep for some people, but they're soooo worth it imo. I wear glasses, but I purchased mine without a prescription.

    I LOVE the Violet lenses! My eyes are dark brown, almost black, and these lenses look awesome!~ I always got compliments when I actualy left my house before I started camming and became a hermit!
    They are not comfy if I'm staring at the computer for hours on end, and wear my dramtic false lashes to cam.
    If I ever get a social life again, I'm going to renew my prescription and get both the violet and green lenses.
    Ihate my dark brown eyes.

    Thanks for all of this! I am not in a spot where I can afford the really high-end quality lenses but def going to keep them in mind. I have read that many optometrists keep sm samples of coloured contacts on hand for patients to try, is this true? Then I could get a better idea of what works but won't break the bank.

    ^^^ Yes is true but they usually have American brands such as freshlook and acuvue, and they look pretty fake and are not opaque enough to give you a significant change if you have dark eyes. You're better off ordering from Korea, you can get a pair that last a year for $20 or so, and they're second best.

    They're not FDA approve, but I never have a problem with them. Just don't get the super big circle lenses and you will be fine.

    My main concern is getting low quality lenses that might damage my vision. A vision test is part of my yearly medical exam for flying & I would hate to risk that over sm poor contacts.

    They're good quality, but if you want to be 100% safe, definetely go for the FDA approve ones. Your doctor would show you what's best for you, since there's a eye exam for contacts, that tells you your base curve etc. So make sure to tell him you want to get the fitting exam for contacts.

    If you need to choose between freshlook and acuvue, I would go for acuvue because they're more comfortable and they last longer.
