Thread: Scary contacts

Tweet

I am not sure on the blue for color change I know the FX ones are solid fill. Wide range of pricing on them on the web... some cheap ones are 3 day, some one year, and the Fine & Clear I give to my actors, I believe, are suppose to last 3+ years.
I am no expert on these things... so do your research.

Here is a link to a site that someone on here told me about. I haven ordered any yet so Im not 100% sure how the are but they are sold as a pair and not each.

Do these hurt your eyes?

I would like to buy them reasonably cheap. Last year I found some but they were almost $80. With all the money I spend on decorations & food, I can't afford that much. But if I invested a little bit on contacts, I could go cheap with my costume & make it homemade. Has anyone had any experience with these & who did you purchase them from? I worry that some of these companies aren't reputable. Would appreciate some input on this!

Exactly, the contacts for Halloween MAKE the costume!

I have the Manson ones and they're reasonably comfortable. If you wear contacts every day, it's probably just a little different. I had Lasik - so they can get annoying after a while. The Manson ones are my favorite btw (I also have black out and vampire red). They get the most startled looks. I usually can see the edges off and on as you look around. It's something you get used to - it certainly doesn't stop me from wearing them. Just make sure you treat them like regular contacts - wash your hands before you put them in, keep your eyes moist, etc etc. You'll love them!

If you have a spirit store near you go in and ask them. While they may not have them directley in store they can refer you to a place that will get them for you.

I am looking for contacts too, and I was wondering if anyone knew if bodyjewelleryshop.com was a legit site to buy them from?

I would not buy from them - I looked at them too. They seem sketchy... looks like odd brands shipped in from china. When it comes to your eyes, you cant bee too careful.

Now, I have horrible vision. And I have astygmatism, that means even with prescription lenses, I'm still blurry unless they are toric lenses. And I've looked everywhere, and no one makes them for halloween.

But I took a shot and emailed a company that custom makes these lenses, and they WILL make you toric FX lenses, but they are expensive. You need to email or call them as the lenses are not on their website, but here's a link to their styles:

Most of their lenses are custom made, so they are expensive. You can talk them down though... costal contacts sells their lenses, and when I said that the non-toric version on CC's website was a lot cheaper, and I had a 25% off coupon, they knocked the price down.

This is what I ordered:


Normal price is $104.99 per lens, non-toric, I got them for $99 each as a toric, which is a lot more expensive.

That being said - for non-torics, check out costal contacts. They sell all of marietta's stuff, and they currently have a 25% off coupon. Not sure the coupon code, google for costal contacts coupon, thats how I found it

i wear corrected lenses now, but my vision isn't bad enough that I can't go without for an evening. Thanks for all of that great information on contacts. I thought the bodyjewelry place sounded a bit shady too,, so i'm glad I got some input
