I don't think that either one of those are pictures of SpongeBob. They are clearly pictures to two different girls. SpongeBob probably just did a Google search and found those pictures.

I hope that once you buy those lenses that you'll post a picture or two of yourself, sunshineshade, but I think you need at least 15 posts or something before you can add a picture. So keep on asking and answering questions. You're on the right track.

I think you're right, Deepurple. I think you need at least 15 posts before you can put up a picture.

Nope. Neither of those are pictures of SpongeBob. You're exactly right, Deepurple. I found those pictures on line.

Nice screen name, by the way. I did a search, and you've already done this, but it's worth repeating.

Do you mean Hidrocore Ice? If so, it says here "the durability of this type of lenses is 1 year after opening the package."

I wonder why your eye doctor didn't tell you how long you can wear those lenses when you got fitted for them?

Bausch and Lomb has a line of Sensitive Eyes wetting drops. Renu is also recommended, and also made by Bausch & Lomb.

Interesting thing about Grey opaques....they can take on a brownish, blueish, or purplish tinge depending on your eye color and skin tone.

I don't know where that advice about wearing time came from, but I know there are many Solotica wearers who would disagree. A lot of people can comfortably wear their Soloticas for 12 hours or more every day. Of course, wear time can very from one individual to another, but that's true with all lenses.

Yeah, 4-6 hours doesn't seem very long. That's not even a full work day. So are you suppose to drive to or from work without contacts?

The girl that they posted an example of for Queen's Solitaire is false. I saw the video for that and her eyes are naturally that color. Personally I have tried Soloticas before (not ice) but I have to root for Soleko Queen's Solitaire. I just got them in the mail four days ago and love them. I asked a woman who has both the Solitica Ice and Soleko's in Perla which one is more opaque and she said that the Soleko ones were. If your eyes are dark brown then they are going to look lighter than what the Soloticas could provide. (Not by much but a good amount in my opinion.)

Here's my review with pictures (There's even the link to my FAIL video. Haha.):

By the way I would post pictures but I don't have the links to them so this is how I will deal.

Thanks for the review and the link to your blog. Do you think you might mention Lens 101 on your website if you like it? How did you find us, by the way?

Hi sunshineshade. Since I don't wear any of those lenses myself, I needed to look up that information, but I couldn't find any direct comparisons. I did, however find a quote from someone who said "These WAICON TRI-KOLOR THIN lenses are amazing and very comfortable due to their thin thickness."

The problem with celebrities such as Ms. Anistion is that they're so popular that people will write about them with as many facts as they have, and then they fill in the rest. FindtheBest.com says "Jennifer Aniston's eyes are Green."

Mirror.co.uk has "Forty Things You Need to Know" about Jennifer Aniston. Number 17 is "Aniston was mildly cross-eyed as a child because of a weak muscle in her right eye. Today, she usually wears blue contact lenses although her natural eye colour is brown."

Take your pick.
