Hello,
If any of you have tried colored contacts or even seen pictures of them close up, you know that often the dead giveaway that you're wearing a fake eye color is when you see the real eye color peeking through the pupil hole in the contact lens. Does anyone know of a brand of contact lens that has a more natural pupil opening? Maybe there's a color contact out there that has a different solution to this problem. I'd be glad to hear from you about this. Thanks. |

9mm make lenses with tiny pupil hole.they can make it custom in any color you can imagine.You can even specify the pupil size.I got mine natural blues from them.Not only the pupil hole is small but the pattern is sooo natural looking.
they do cost $155 per lens though. Last edited by LENS101; 01-12-2008 at 02:18 PM.. Reason: removed "imageshack" image link and made the image an attachment. |

That's a nice picture there, but it's a little out of focus. I think I might see a sliver of brown there, but even with the blurriness you can't honestly say it's not a "huge pupil opening." Thanks for posting.

You can also check out contacts from WAICON--they have a very small pupil hole --you can see the colors at www.wearwaicon.com. Plus they are only like $50 for a pair--no correction or prescription. And you can see real people wearing them on you tube--just type in on your google---wiacon contacts--I am going to order them in grey and blue--i will post photos after i get them.

The reason the pupil area is not so small is that at night or in dark light setting ur own pupils wil dilate and if the lens opening is too small then u will have problems seeing. Out of all the lenses I have seen Solotica is the most natural w great color choices and pupil area is not a problem. Look up their colors and check out Amazon. I like Waicon ut still a huge fan of Solotica

Loveme's right. Pupil holes that are too small may cause halos at night.
|

I think tahts why companies make larger pupil openings, thats fine with me, even natural eye colors in blue or green have a different color near pupil opening . My boy friend has beautiful Gray Blue Grafite eyes, they are darker closer to the pupil
just like contact lenses![]() |

However, if you want contacts that look very similar, but for a lower price, try FreshLook ColorBlends. I wouldn't be a very good Lens 101 member if I didn't try to get you to check out the sponsor. Take a look. Maybe you'll like them better, maybe you won't. Let me know. |

Not that Solotica contact lenses are evil, they're just expensive and not available in the US. I don't wear color contacts, so I thought I'd do a little research on them, but I couldn't find Solotica Grafite lenses anywhere. |

I was looking at the choices available for Acuvue 2 Colours. On viallure.com they just sell "Acuvue 2 Colours" with no indication of whether they are Opaque or Enhancers. Here's the price comparison.
On Viallure.com you can buy a box for $52.35 US currency, while on Lens.com Opaques are as low as $28.90 per box and Enhancers are as low as $27.99 a box. That saves you almost 50%. You'll probably get them faster from Lens.com too, because they don't have to ship them from Brazil. Viallure promises to deliver in "around up to 50 working days + shipping time." Lens.com: "This item normally ships within 1 - 2 business days." |

Everyone - waicon is great but STILL has a frickin huge pupil hole!! It looks disasterous in daytime. Solotica looks better (my opinion for dark eyes is hidrocor ice or Mel) because it blends and makes it look like you eyes are dark in the middle and light on the outside naturally.
The only way to achieve the tiny hole is to get customs, which I will upload a photo of. These are Light Blue Grey from fxeyes, $546 AUD. I would like to try 'vampyre blue' from 9mmsfx next, because their pupil hole is more graduated. The fxeyes seems to just suddenly stop. I do not wear these in public, they are just too vibrant and the pupil hole has no blending. but I bought them for photo purposes and am EXTREMELY happy. |
|
|||
|
I actually own one of these, but I cannot see well at night when the pupils dilate. I have to say they look beautiful on you
I agree, Solotica Ice or Mel looks super natural on. I will upload my pics when get a chance. Out of all the lenses oyt there Soloticas to me are still the most natural day or night.U look great with blue eyes ![]() |

I wish the solotica grafite had a smaller pupil hole hey! |

I have color blends in grey and it is pretty but the pupil hole ruins it. Lizard eyes. I have very dark brown eyes and want to try solotica grafites or ice as I want a grey/blue color.
Do you think solotica hiidrocor has a smaller pupil hole than freshlook Do you think grafites would show up on very dark eyes or should I go for ice? thanks ![]() |

Wow. I've never met esnutaliah, but I would say that she looks beautiful and natural. Seriously, if I were to see her in the cereal isle of the grocery store I'd think "She's got pretty eyes."

Yes, they are really pretty, aren't they? I like how the blue seems to radiate out from the center.

Ah, well then I can totally understand your interest in Dutch contact lenses. What country do you usually import your lenses from?

Magic Tops and the Solotica Natucal Color Topazio, Quartzo and Esmeralda have small pupil holes. You can get them from Viallure to be shipped to the US. Click the UK flag at the top right corner of the webpage from their site for ordering info in English.

Doesn't that get expensive to have your contact lenses imported, though? Are they really that much better than contacts you can buy domestically?
|
|
|||
|
I have tried virtually every single contact brand available in the US, and not only the quality and natural look but the comfort of the Brazilian lenses are beyond compare. So for me it's worth the money, they last a whole year, and if I'm going to buy color contacts I want them to look natural. Otherwise I won't wear them. That would be a waste of any amount of money.

Ok, I posted here a few days ago, then I found this super amazing blog that answers all these questions, and I think everyone will be as happy as I am now once they read it. It's so amazing! Here it is:
bestcolorcontacts.blogspot.com |
|
|||
|
Yeah, but is it amazing?
|
|
|||
|
I wouldn't call it "amazing." It's quite pink, and only has a few brands represented. It's not broken down into those few brand names like Lens 101 is. It seems to be a fairly new site. You might as well stay here, folks. Nothing to see there.

![]() What size pupil hole could u order from fxeyes to achieve that look esnutalia? |
|
|||
|
I didn't know you could order contact lenses and specify the size of the pupil hole. I thought it was just base curve and diameter.
|
|
|||
|
That is usually true but custom contacs like fxeyes are handpainted to your specifications--including pupil size

For those of you who are curious--like I was--about the most beautiful eye contacts msourinho1 has ever seen, scroll back up to post #19.

Those are Light Blue Grey lenses modeled by the one and only "esnutaliah." Does anyone know if those lenses are available in the United States?
|
|
|||
|
That's a good question. Does the colored part around those tiny pupil holes block your vision at all?

FXeyes are custom handpainted lenses - the company is based out of Arizona (legal name is "Crystal Reflections" I believe) so yes, they are available in the US.
|
|
|||
|
So does that mean that FXEyes and Crystal Reflections are the same company?

The acuvue 2 enhancers don't have pupil holes at all. They are for light eyes though but here's what they look like. Natural eye then the emerald (I put more pics in the acuvue 2 enhancers forum) :

Fx eyes are completely opaque white lenses that are hand painted by artists--so you get the same result regardless of your natural eye color (since it can't show through)

You said the eye color doesn't show at all and so it really IS awesome right? It really makes up for their price... |

FXeyes are handpainted onto a white lens (with a custom sized hole for the pupil) so there are definitely no gaps in the color whatsoever
