I asked the administrators to remove my name from the membership list and everything else. This part I apparently have to do myself.

Am I forever destined to stay with FreshLook Colors (with only 4 different colors -- two of which I will NEVER wear)??????????????????????????

Hi catt.

I'm sorry this isn't going well for you. I'm afraid I'm not an expert in color contact lenses, I can only offer a fresh perspective. Now, are you saying that both the Dimensions and the Radiance lenses are invisible in your eyes?

Lens.com describes FreshLook Dimensions like this: "FreshLook Dimensions are a new generation of enhancing Color Contact Lenses which combine a charcoal starburst pattern with FreshLook colors to make eyes appear bigger and brighter."

That doesn't sound like they're supposed to change the color of your eyes.

Here's what they say about FreshLook Radiance. "FreshLook Radiance are disposable soft contact lenses that promote comfort and convenience in an array of affordable colors."

That one's kind of ambiguous, so it's not really much help, but at least it doesn't say anything about enhancing your natural color or anything.

All I can say at this point is that maybe you should try another brand. Have you ever thought about vial contacts? They're expensive, but you can theoretically wear one pair for a whole hear, and I would imagine the colors would be pretty strong. Just to pick a name out of the list at Lens.com, here's some info about Illusions Vial Contact Lenses by CIBA Vision, described as lenses that "offer an array of colors suited to light or dark eyes in disposable lenses prized for their comfort and ease of handling."

I hope that helps. For what it's worth Catt, I've seen your picture on this forum a few times, and I think you're pretty no matter what color eyes you have.

Good luck.

"it was worth all the while". "I hope you had the time of your life". It's one of my "new" favorite songs.

Thanks for your input and compliment Jawa.

I dunno, catt. I've met some pretty stupid cats, but not many catts. I'm glad Jawa could help you sort it out.

That's a pretty good song you quoted, too. It got quite a bit of airplay a few years ago, and it's becoming a staple at graduation ceremonies everywhere.

I'd also like to agree with Jawa that you're pretty easy on the eyes, catt. Keep those picture coming. Have you ever considered "cat's eye" contact lenses?

DO u have dark eyes? Dimensions are ENHANCERS for light eyes and even then it depends on what color eye you have, my friend has light blue eyes and wear Dimensions in Green and her eyes turn green! But it does nothing for darker eyes

well I know for a fact that Sea Green Dimensions dont change hazel brown eyes, they give a hint of green (dark army green) so medium brown eyes but if u have any hazel or yellow tones, it doesnt do anything. They are like a filter, they did nada for me. Did u try Freshlook colors in Green, its a light Green. I liked them

It's good you don't have a long list of demands.

That reminds me of a book I read that takes place in the Old West. The town beauty agreed to walk naked down Main Street--with a few conditions. It would be at midnight, everyone would be in their homes with the blinds closed and the doors locked, and she would be carrying two pistols to "discourage" any peeking.

Meanwhile, I'll check the Lens 101 kitty (No pun intended.) to see about that $1,000 and I'll see if I can find a VFW Hall somewhere and I'll see to it that you get special consideration.

Catt in costume. Sounds like fun. I thought I saw a picture of her daughter on this site dressed as a catt--I mean "cat." She's pretty also.

Keep those posts coming, catt.
