My eyes are brown. Like most Asians, they are plain and boring. So, what did Korean create to make our eyes stand out? Circle lenses! Circle lenses are basically contact lenses that make your iris look bigger and they come in a huge variety or colors and designs. In high school, I've always wanted to try colored contact lenses, but never really dared. Well, I finally caved in and buy two pairs of circle lenses - one blue, one gray, which I write a review at a later date, on yesstyle.ca
When I first wore the blue contacts, my first thought was "woooah". I have to say, I was scared for the first few seconds. I have friends who wear colored contacts, so I am used of seeing Asians with blue, green and gray eyes. But having a different eye color on myself was something I had to get used of. I like that my eyes stand out more and that people lose themselves looking into my eyes because it's so unusual. My sister consistently tells me it's ugly because it's unnatural. But I guess that's also why I like it. I find it brightens up my face.
Concerning the prices, I didn't think the lenses were overly expensive. Quality wise, I had assumed with the low prices, the lenses would be cheaply made, but so far I haven't had any issues yet. The circle lenses are, however, much thinner than my usual contacts (Air Optix Aqua), so I do handle them with much more care. I feel I the lenses will break with the lightest touch! Despite the long hours of wear, I haven't felt much dryness. No discomfort overall! I orignally wanted to get a green pair, but my prescription was out of stock. Once it's available again I'm a definitely getting them, so get ready for my green eyes!
