What are the "Bausch & Lomb platinum" lenses called? Platinum is a color, not a brand. I did a search and found that Soflens Natural Colors come in Platinum. Are those the lenses you recommend, hotmm?

Solotica Hidrocharme ICE

That's the color you want, abegail856? Platinum? It's kind of blue and gray at the same time, isn't it?

Yes, in general enhancers are for just changing your eye color a little, like from light blue to dark blue. If you want to change brown eyes to blue, you would need some opaque lenses.

the sterling gray are much brighter, but the gray ones look subtle but nice too. This is a picture of sterling gray ones!

Those lenses look very comfortable. Your eyes are clear and you're smiling. ![]() |

agreed,.....sterling gray looks awesome.....verrrrry pretty! They look ice blue on you!
|
|

question.....Is the b & L natural colors lens a comfortable lens....Ive snooped around on the web...and some patients complain that they move alot and don't sit right. And the pupil diameter is smaller so is this an issue????
|
|
|||
|
I suppose that would vary from one person to another, but I'd like to read what hotmm has to say as well.

but my cousin has them and doesn't have any of these problems so i guess it is different from one person to the other one of the most comfortable and natural looking contacts i have tried is the waicon trikolor but i only tried the greys and they do look grey unlike other brands always turning blue on me |
|

THANKS! This is a pic of a girl wearing the freshlook gray ones. They are subtle but look great in darker complexions. I can tell you that I met the girl in this picture in a tv show I did this past summer, and her eyes look REAL, i had no idea they were contacts until I asked her.

A lot of people have reccomended Waicons and Bausch and Lomb but I have dark brown eyes myself and I JUST bought Soleko Queen's Solitaire in Perla/Pearl. The lens itself is completey white but it somehow translates to a light blueish gray color on my eyes. It does a great job covering up my natural eye color. I absolutely love them that I'm just spreading the word on how much I love them haha. I think they do a much better job of covering up your eyes than Freshlook Sterling Grey does.

Are those lenses white or clear, msourinho1?
|
|
|||
|
they are a semi opaque white--they interact with your natural eye color to produce a grey/blue result
if they were a clear lens they wouldn't change your eye color now would they lol |

So dark brown + white = light bluish grey?
|
|
|||
|
Yes, actually blue eyes have pigment in the back of the iris, but no pigment on the surface--whereas brown eyes have pigment on top-so this contact mimics the effect of blue eyes
that's how that new laser surgery works that changes brown eyes into blue--they burn away the pigment in the front of the eye and voila, blue eyes |
|
|||
|
Really? I wonder if you can find a picture that would illustrate this principle. I've never heard of it myself. So . . . you're saying that we all have blue eyes, it's just that some of us have brown pigment on top of them?

http://www.geekosystem.com/laser-surgery-eye-color/ Basically once you strip off the brown (or even green) pigment on top of the iris, you are left with blue |

Here's a picture from that page you referenced:

yep--it sheds the brown pigment over the course of a couple of days and the pigment never regenerates
The surgery should be available overseas within 2 years and FDA approved in the US within 5---and will cost about 5k A much better option than that NewIris crap--at least you're not adding foreign material inside of your eyeball |

Yes. I think anything called "crap" would be a "much better option."A truly better option--color contact lenses. Far less expensive than surgery, far less risky as well, and it looks good, too. |

but there are people out there that are obsessed with a permanent change--I can't imagine being that certain about it because once you have it done there is no going back |

No, you can laser a tattoo off---even though it's time consuming and expensive, I should know I'm in the process of it =/
|

Boy it sure seems like a lot of people are having their tattoos removed these days. Have you been waiting for some procedure to come along that would remove that for you?

And I'm getting married in August so I can't exactly walk down the aisle with the wrong guy's name on my arm lol |

I wish you well for your upcoming wedding. Are you going to be wearing contact lenses on that day? May your love be even more permanent that a tattoo. |

I read AmigaBonita's comment, and I guess I look at it as saying that it's very sad when people really, truly love each other and try to make a life together and discover that for some reason, they just can't. There are many reasons why they split up and you're right, it's not often done on a whim. I hope I'm not just digging myself (and AmigaBonita) deeper, but just know that we don't want to offend anyone on Lens 101. I think you're trying to look at those comments in the best possible light, which is all I ask. |

Anyway--on to the contacts--I'm on the fence about whether or not I should wear colored contacts for the wedding--I like the way that I look in them, but I want to look back at the pictures and recognize myself! I may wear some subtle circle lenses though-like Acuvue Define |

I think for your wedding that you will probably recognize yourself even if you're wearing color contact lenses. Have some fun. This is your special day. Pull out all the stops. Wear those contacts. ![]() |

That's easy. You'll be the one in white with a big smile.
