Hello Monik

Welcome to the forum. Always nice to welcome new members.

The translation is remarkably good for a machine translation, so we will have no difficulty in understanding your posts.

We always like to see pictures of our members wearing coloured lenses

Monika, I have a question for you, O.K. I am assuming that you have brown eyes and have decided to go with the greys. Do you personally like them? Not many colored contact wearers decide on grey; however on you they look pretty good -- natural and fairly subtle.

Thank you, I have dark brown eyes, I chose the top gray magic lenses because they are leaving my eyes clearer, but I also have the magic green top and I have had quartz and topaz of Solot. They are the best brands of lenses in Brazil today. I'll post more photos. Wait.

These are the green "Magic Top". Photos in artificial light with flash and natural light. They are very natural and beautiful in person too.

monikpage · #6 (**permalink**) 03-27-2010, 10:56 AM

The Magic are annual, but with proper care can last between 1 year and a half to 2 years. I invite all to participate, including photos, of our Brazilian forum on colored contact lenses on Orkut. Come in and look for the orkut community "Lentes de Contato Coloridas" and participate. There are people who speak English and has many, many pictures of lenses, you will enjoy immensely!

Well this is the first forum i have ever been. I was looking to see and read what some of you had to say about the Magic Top Lenses. It seems this lenses have smaller pupils, which make them look more awesome. Please let me know your views

AllyCat · #9 (**permalink**) 08-09-2010, 10:18 AM

I've never heard of "Magic Top" contact lenses before. They look really nice, especially when being modeled by a pretty Brazilian girl. I like grey eyes, too.

Welcome to Lens 101 singerbenny-g. I hope you find the website helpful.
As for the Magic Top lenses, I've never hard of them until I read this thread, so I'm afraid I won't be much help there.

Both of the colors look great on you. Pretty natural as well!

Thecurlyfitchic is right. Those Magic contact lenses are very natural looking. Are they available in the US?

thecurlyfitchic · #13 (**permalink**) 08-11-2010, 01:00 PM

Looks like they are another Brazilian lens,Like the Adore, Solotica and Waicon. They can all be purchased online at lensmarketplace. That is where I purchased my Solotica Natural Color Mel Lenses. I have 20/20 and received my lens in 8 days in TX.

Only three base curves? I wonder why that is? Will that be enough?

singerbenny-g · #16 (**permalink**) 08-11-2010, 03:34 PM

Hello Spongebob, thats more than enough on the BC's most lenses are only gvien one base curve. I had some custom made, and I went cheap, with the normal 8.6 and they look somewhat odd. If I would have chose a different curve they were going to hump the price up for each lens.

Wow, this sure is an active thread thanks to you, singerbenny-g.

Is 8.6 a pretty common base curve? Can a company really make a living selling contact lenses that come in only one base curve?

thecurlyfitchic · #18 (**permalink**) 08-11-2010, 06:25 PM

Solotica and Waicon only have one base curve and from thenumber of people on YouTube that I have seen with videos I would say, yes!!

I don't know if its good bad that I comment on the Magic Top. About the 8.6 curve yes, companys make quite alot of money. Perfect example are or were the Wesley Jenson Co. They used to make the DuraSoft lenses, as well as the Holloween Lenses back in the 80's. I think I am not sure, but Coopervison took over. Anyone out there that know the right answer, correct me please. Thats all I can say Sox05 and thanks for the thread?

I am looking forward in recieving the Magic Top lenses in Grey.

CooperVision did acquire Wesley Jenson Co.

I would say take a look at the majority of soft lenses (prescription) and you will find that the common base curves are 8.4 and 8.6mm. i.e. one size fits (almost) all. The soft lenses drape over the cornea, so base curve is not so critical in the majority of wearers.

RGP lenses are different and must be fitted precisely and therefore, are usually available with base curve increments of about 0.05mm.

Thanks for explaining about the base curve. I went to Lens.com and picked some lenses at random and checked the drop-down list of available base curves, and you're right, they all have only one or two base curves. One of them (I forget which) had only a "median" base curve to offer.

Thank you for clarifying who took over Wesley Jenson. Well living in El Paso made it easy way back when to buy lenses without a prescription in Mexico. And still can, but no way will I go across not with all the mess thats going out there. Good thing we have internet and be able to buy online. The Magic Top Lenses in grey, to my eyes and for what I see in the videos on you tube, has a simalarity to the Bausch&Lomb color platinum.

If you're buying contact lenses on line without a prescription, I would advise against that. Any contact lens website that cares about more than taking your money will not sell you contact lenses without a valid prescription. They will get your doctor's information and call them to confirm your prescription. If your contact lens website is not willing to do that for your safety, then move on.

thanks for your concern, I only wear cosmatic, have been wearing them for the past 15 yrs and thats only for about 3 hours, during my performances. Unfortunetly most lenses sold in the US have very large pupils. However I did need a presritpion when I ordered some custom made lenses at FXeyes.com and they are also cosmatic.

Hi singerbenny-g. Are you a singer?

What contact lenses did your eye doctor prescribe for you? Even the cosmetic contact lenses that don't have any corrective power still need a prescription to make sure it fits properly. It should be fairly simple to tell your eye doctor that you're looking for cosmetic contact lenses to be worn only briefly that have small pupil holes. I'm sure he or she can find you some really good ones. Then when you have your prescription you can order from www.lens.com, the sponsor of Lens 101. They've got all kinds of contact lenses and their prices are pretty good, too.
I hope that helps, and good seeing to you.

Thanks for you email, and yes I am local singer in the city I live in which is El Paso. well the prescription states Coopervision and ciba. But I did need Px for the costome order I did with Fxeyes.com And yes I will look into Lens 101, I might go for the expressions. @ the moment I am looking forward to the Magic Top lenses.

Super, singerbenny-g. Living in El Paso, do I need to ask what type of music you sing?

Grunge metal, right?

When you're ready let me know how your experience with Lens.com goes. You've got to keep the sponsor honest, right?
In the meantime, I hope the Magic Top contacts work out for you.

I was just wondering becasue it seems like you know more about the base curve than i do..lol.
I really want to purchase the magic top cinza but I'm afraid to choose the wrong base curve...

right now i actually have some "GEO lenses" and they are base curve 8.6 but they make me feel really tired after wearing too long and are a little uncomfortable..does this mean they are too tight or what does it mean? Should i buy the 8.8 base curve or the 8.5...again i dont know why the geo lenses make me so tired ..they dont slide around at all so im guessing its because they are too tight.. thank you!

I noticed you got the 8.5 base curve....are they comfortable or do they irritate your eyes???...imjust wondering because i dont want to get the wrong base curve... im guessing 8.8 means they are not as "tight"?

The base curve measures "the general shape of a lens in optometry. . . On a contact lens it is the curvature of the back surface. Typical values for a contact lens are from 8.0 to 10.0 mm. The base curve is the radius of the sphere of the back of the lens that the prescription describes.
In everyday practice, if lenses feel "loose" and slide easily a smaller base curve may work better. A large base curve may be needed if they feel tight. Lenses with smaller base curves are referred to as 'steep'". -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_curve_radius

If you have a prescription it takes all the guess work out of finding the right base curve.

Just a quick note, Magic Top is the Brazilian version of Waicon (which is based in Argentina) so they're virtually the same.
Also, Waicon does offer different base curves but most websites selling them don't offer that. They also provide toric lenses which again, aren't typically sold at online retailers.

I don't think anyone's trying to make you look stupid, Deevine1217. I think OzzieG was having a "did you just say what I thought you said?" moment, you know?

That's kind of what I thought when I read "they also provide toric lenses which again, aren't typically sold at online retailers" it sounded like you said toric lenses are not typically sold at online retailers anywhere, and that's obviously not true. I thought I must have misunderstood, and I guess I did. Can you see where there might have been some confusion?

I know sometimes it takes me 20 minutes to write a three-sentence post because I want to make sure that I'm being absolutely clear, and sometimes I'm still misunderstood. The English language is like that. I just do my best and try not to get too upset when someone misunderstands me.

I do understand but I also have noticed that many members like to call out and almost ridicule people. No one misunderstood when I said online retailers don't typically sell different base curves. I thought it was evident that I was only referring to Waicon colored contacts...

Anywho, it's not a huge deal. lol I'll make myself more clear next time.

Hi Deevine1217. I'm glad you can lol about this little bump in the road. We try to be friendly here on this site, so if someone says something that sounds kinda mean, you should probably trust that that they didn't mean it that way.
In OzzieG's defense, he or she just asked "Are you saying that you can't buy toric contact lenses on line?" They didn't say "Hey stupid. You can buy toric lenses all over the place on line." It sounded like they were trying to clarify what you said rather than commenting on it. I'm sorry you felt as though you were being ridiculed.

Anyway, thanks for your information about Magic Top contact lenses. I hope you continue to enjoy reading and writing on Lens 101.

Not a problem, I personally haven't used them (or any other colored contacts yet - still waiting on mine!) but from the research I've done they're the exact same as Waicon.

Really? Exactly the same? Same material, same percentage of water, same colors and all that?

thecurlyfitchic · #41 (**permalink**) 12-22-2010, 01:38 PM

From another forum I am on Magic Top and Waicon are not exactly the same. It seems that MT lenses are lighter/brighter in color than Waicon and typically fit people better. Therefore, they are able to be worn for a longer period of time. But, those are only from the reviews I have seen. I'm sure others that have not posted reviews may have different opinions. Oh, Waicon supposedly looks more natural.

What about material and water and all that other stuff that John Barleygreen asked about above?

thecurlyfitchic · #43 (**permalink**) 12-22-2010, 03:02 PM

Magic Top (viallure.com.br & wrlens.com)
Material: HEMA - NVP (62%)
Water Content: 38%
Oxigen Transmissibility (Dk/f): 12
Diameter: 14,2 mm
Manufacturer: Optolentes
Plain lenses (without prescription): IMMEDIATE base curve 8.5

Waicon (ioffer.com only had the basic not the trikolor)
Base curve: 8.60
Diameter: 14.2 mm
Material: Hioxifilicon A
Water content: 59%
Replacement: disposable after 30 wears
Color: grey or green

FYI, basic Waicon is the monthly lens not the Annual. There wasn't one manufacturer website that provided that information. In my opinion I wouldn't purchase that lens if they can't provide the material and water content. I find that weird.

You're right, curlyfitchic. It is a little strange that the website doesn't have the material and water content of the lenses. Lens.com lists materials and water content, they just don't sell Magic Top or Waicon lenses.

It sounds like you would be a great help to us here with all your experience. Why not tell us about some of the Other Contact Lenses you've tried? There are separate sections for all kinds of different lenses. That way we'll know what you've already tried and not waste your time telling you about them.

Manufacturer: Optolentes
Plain lenses (without prescription): IMMEDIATE base curve 8.5

Waicon (ioffer.com only had the basic not the trikolor)
Base curve: 8.60
Diameter: 14.2 mm
Material: Hioxifilicon A
Water content: 59%
Replacement: disposable after 30 wears
Color: grey or green

FYI, basic Waicon is the monthly lens not the Annual. There wasn't one manufacturer website that provided that information. In my opinion I wouldn't purchase that lens if they can't provide the material and water content. I find that weird.

Thanks for doing the research and bringing the results here.

That's Lens 101 for you. Your Place for Real Life Photos.

I agree. It's great when you can see contact lenses on "real" people rather than highly paid supermodels.

If you had long hair like that, it would be nice to have a constant gentle breeze to gently toss your hair, wouldn't it?

Teddikitty would have put a bigger picture here, but he would have had to pay the model more money.

Yes, that's a very good point herbking. Getting a prescription makes getting contact lenses easier, not to mention legal . . . in many places.

Glamour Auqas from Colour Vew? I've never heard of Colour View. Are they made outside the United States? That could be why the name is not familiar.
