Default Which are more natural looking? Solotica or waicon????? Help
Debating on buying either solotica giddy or ice, because I love the light icy blue grey color or the waicon grey contacts. I wanna know which ones don't show much pixelation in person close up and which ones are more believeable!

Also, what site is safe or good to buy the solotica, right now I am looking on wrens.


Any pictures of the solotica ice or waicon are much appreciated! Thankssss!

Well I got Solotica Topazios from Viallure.com, and my sister got Solotica Quartzos and Magic Top Verde, which are very similar to Waicons
The Soloticas are very very natural, but not all Soloticas are as natural-specifically if you're looking into Solotica Natural Colors the Esmeralda, Topazio, and Quartzo have particularly small pupil holes

Waicon is the top of the line when it comes to colored contact lenses, unless you want to shell out big bucks for customs--they cost about double the price of Soloticas though-unless you buy the monthlies of course
Btw I have heard that the Solotica monthlies don't measure up to their annual counterparts so keep that in mind
If you are looking for a natural color and $ is not an issue go with the Waicons, I especially like that they come in 3 different Base Curves as opposed to Solotica's one (8.7)
If you want to lighten and brighten your eye significantly I would suggest Solotica, specifically Ice, Cristal, Topazio, Quartzo, or Esmeralda

Have you ordered Solotica lenses on line before? I haven't myself, but I've read on this site that it can take a long time for them to be delivered to you. Are you okay with that possibility?

Actually Viallure took just about the same amount of time as visiondirect.com does--prob because visiondirect takes a few days to verify things with your optometrist which can hold things up

Are both Viallure and visiondirect.com located in the same geographical area?

No Viallure is in Brazil I believe and visiondirect.com is an US based site, like lens.com

I have ordered Soloticas from Wrlens and they are very good. I have order Other Contact Lenses from Lensmarketplace and they do a good job as well. They also sell Soloticas. There's Viallure too.

Thank you, Sylvia. Have you ever tried ordering contact lenses from Lens.com? They don't sell Solotica lenses, but they've got some other lenses there that are almost as nice. Would you consider monthly color contacts?

No, I would order clear contacts from Lens.com but not colored
1st of all they don't come in my high prescription of -9, and secondly, the quality of the colored disposables just isn't worth it

Is that right? Does that mean that say, Acuvue 2 Colours - Opaque are fine unless you order them from Lens.com, or that contact lenses like those just aren't what you need no matter where you buy them from? Is the quality lacking in the website or the lenses?

I don't think you understood
I was referring to American lenses in general--it's nothing against lens.com specifically

Although I have tried Acuvue Colors because they were the only American brand of colored contacts available in my prescription, and they were horrifically bad

Well, I'm sorry about your "horrifically bad" experience, but I'm glad that Lens.com hasn't let you down in some way.
