I know they come in Freshlook color contact lenses and color blend but you can also get them on Lens.com this site offers them in prescription form.

Hey thanks. That's good to know.

I checked out lens.com and did a search for "violet" and 18 different kinds of contact lenses came up.

Thanks, Simplyme.

Thank you for the advice, catt. Didn't I see your picture on this forum with one blue eye and one purple eye or something?

(Used to do that, because . . . I can)!

Don't recall, but this I am sure of: FreshLook Colors will CHANGE - not simply enhance - but totally change the color of your eye.
Thanks again, catt. Anything new with you and your contact lenses?

Hmmm... I was hoping someone would post a picture in the thread, but I guess I can search the site and see some images.

I think the most striking colored contact lens I've seen "in person" was a very vibrant shade of blue.

I still don't like the color very much -- too dark - but liveable, for another few months.
BTW: These are both the same color and same brand of lenses.
Hi catt, nice to see your eyes again, if not your smiling face.

You've got more than one picture on this site, with various colored contacts. Which ones would you consider to be your favorite, and why? It's okay if you choose more than one if you like, say the color of one brand and the comfort of another or something.

Looking forward to your reply.

Those do look nice, Catt. I can't see any natural color coming through the pupil opening, and your eyes really do look violet.
They also look healthy to me, not red or watery. I take that to mean that they are pretty comfortable as well? Was there a period of time at first when you had to get used to them? How long was it?

Yeah, "I miss my violet ones". "We" needed a break for a while. Needed to shake up the old eyes and experiment with other ones. Yes, I cheated, but I will ultimately return to my favorite color. I am sooooooo BAD!
Yes, you're a naughty kitty . . . but let's not go there.

I agree with Organic Pete in that in the close up pictures your eyes don't look like they're suffering very much. They must be comfortable.

35 years, huh? So you've been wearing contacts since the seventies? Groovy!
