PIC tiny iris with hidrocharme, opinions please!

These are what the Solotica Hidrocharme mels look like on me- I have naturally green eyes, my reason for wearing them is I want a bigger iris with a strong limbal ring, BUT, because my iris is tiny, there is a horrible yellow gap that you'll see.

My question to those with experience with these lenses, are other hidrocharme colors more opaque? Therefore covering up that awkward gap?

It seems like the Hidrocharme ice may be pale/opaque enough to cover up my odd gap, but I want to know as much as possible before I drop 100$ on them. Is the pale pigment of the ice more opaque?

Any experience with the hidrocharme graphites? I don't care for the hidrocor because I really enjoy the strong limbal ring.

Woah. That picture makes me dizzy.

It's different though.

Maybe you need to find some contact lenses with a smaller diameter. I poked around Lens.com and found that some lenses are as small as 13.8 mm.

By the way, where did you get your prescription? It should have specified the correct diameter for your contacts.

This is possibly a useless comment as I've yet to try Solotica, so can't say anything about their opacity. However, I have the same problem with one of my eyes (really odd, the other eye fits the lens just fine!), the lens slightly overhangs my iris. I wear FreshLook ColorBlends in Gemstone Green (diameter 14.5, don't know if other sizes even exist), and they seem to be more opaque than your lens in the picture, the overhanging part is still the same colour as the bit on my eye. The only way you can tell is that the limbal ring shows up on the eye that it fits, whereas on the smaller eye you can't see it as there's no dark iris behind it to make it show up (the limbal rings on Freshlooks are WAY paler than on Soloticas). I was trying to point this out to someone earlier and they totally couldn't see what I was going on about, so obviously the Freshlooks do a good job of not showing overhang!

As far as I know, FreshLook ColorBlends only come in a diameter of 14.5 mm.
