I am interested in getting colored contact lenses, but I have very dark brown eyes. Are there colored lenses that can change my eyecolor?

They do make contact lenses that will change your eyecolor no matter how dark. The most options are available in the Ciba Freshlooks. You can find out more at:

Default Best contacts 4 dark eyes hands down

I HIGHLY recommend Elegance Opaques.I have them in Light Blue and they look so natural.i have medium light brown eyes and these look so good on me.since im the only guy in my school who owns a pair of Elegance,every thinks they're my natural eye color(except for my friends that i've known 4 a long time). Everybody else uses Freshlook colorblends.i used to wear them and they look okay but i wanted a more natural looking contact.then somebody told me that paris hilton used colored contacts and i didnt believe it,b/c her eyes look so natural.so just like Electribe i did dome reseach on her contacts and i came across a contact forum(hi 'Blueeyes'!).I would ALSO RECOMMEND a Dr.check ur base curve b/c i use a 8.6 in freshlook,and Elegance come in 8.4 and 8.7,so i went up.BAD mistake.when i tried my elegances own they slid everywhere.so i did the the'ol hot water trick,and now they're pefect.

The forum is read on a daily basis. If you have the money to spend on contacts and want the absolute best color lenses. The best option is to have your doctor fit you into your prefered daily or extended conventional lens and you can send it out to be colored. This way you can specify the diameter of color and the iris diameter. Keep in mind that this can get a little pricey. Here is a list of some companys.

Adventure in Colors
1(800)537-2845

Crystal Reflections Int'l Inc.
1(800)807-8722

Custom Color Contacts
1(800)598-2020

Specialty Tint
1(800)748-5500

These companys will only deal with proffesionals so print this out and ask your eye care proffesional if they would be able to order send a pair of lenses to any of the abovve mentioned companys for tinting. The cost of hand painted iris lenses can run your eye care practitioner around $300 and they are going to pass that cost along to you.

I will put together a file of different contact lens companies and all their color lenses offered and post it some time later this week. I will also include a full break down of all the companys that do custom color lenses and post that as well.

you can't sleep with them on, in fact you shouldn't sleep in no contacts, it's not safe, no matter they're night & day. I dont understand the need for sleeping on contacts. Is it that necessary? that can cause so much serious problems, even blindness due to lack of oxygen to the cornea (eye veins swell and you can become completely blind and that's called ipoxia, i'm not lying!)

Anyway, vial lenses are the ones with less oxygen transmission so you must NEVER sleep on them. Wear them from 6 to 10 hours and let your eyes rest and breathe.

Please try not to sleep on contacts, and only do it when strictly necessary and only with night & day-kind contacts (extended wear, usually made of silicone)

to chicano: hey, i dont have a boyfriend because i dont want right now. i prefer enjoying my singleness haha!

Please why dont you post some pics with your Elegance Light Blue on? Pleeease!

It is always recommended that you see an eye care provider for having lenses fit. Recently a new law passed making buying even the cosmetic non prescription contacts without seeing a doctor illegal. This is done to help protect your eyes from the myraid of complications that can occur from improper wear and care of lenses.

BTW jamesbond if you are wearing acuvue lenses than you should be able to just order the colored accuvue. Give your dopctor a call and ask if you can order accuvue colors.

Hey, can you post pics of the other colors you have? I posted a post on this board with pics of me before and after my contacts. I have astigmatism so I am hoping to get an opaque toric lens this time around instead of these freshlook ones. I want violet so badly! I am going to Lens Crafters this week so I hope I can get the exact ones that I want.

Default Ciba Vision Elegance

I currently have two pairs of Ciba Vision Elegance contacts, I have light green and the dark blue. The problem is that I wanted to buy another pair and I cannot find where to buy them online anymore. If anyone knows where I'd love to hear from you. In my search I stumbled on this forum and I figured I'd post my pics for anyone trying to make a decision. I have very dark brown eyes and sometimes wear the dark blue or the light green. Hope these pics are helpfull.

Thanks ;-)

Lola, I like the dark blue contact lenses - they look very natural

Lola, do you have a close up picture of you with it on?

Smile HELP! CibaVision Elegance

Hi Lola and Electribe,

Please HELP!

Where on earth can I purchase Ciba Vision Elegance?
I've looked all over the internet and can't track them down.

I have a current prescription from an eye care professional.

Thanx,
