Does anyone have any advice or hints for anyone who is making the transition from glasses to FreshLook One-Day color contacts?

Just remember that you might not get the colour results you want. Try a few lenses and see which colour looks best.

you really need to see an optometrist to get the right size and diameter and curve for your eyes, and learn to fit them - and you can usually try colors as well or get a free sample

then once you know what you want can just order online for repeats

Of course you should see an optometrist. That much is obvious. I was asking about the more subtle preparations, such as what questions you should ask your optometrist, and how do you prepare yourself for wearing contacts. That sort of thing.

Freshlook is a good and quality contactlens, i think going for freshlook should be cool.
glasses vs contacts... in terms of fashion both have its advantages..

Want colours in your eyes with a natural look? Disposable contact lens? Look no further as this is the contact lens you are looking for.

- Comfort and fresh lenses everyday

- Safety and convenience of a daily disposable

- No cleaning

Thanks for the quote. Do you have any personal experience with FreshLook One Day contact lenses?

I guess that means no. That's okay. You don't have to be a user to post on Lens 101, but it would probably help if you are good at surfing the net.

So far it looks like that's a negative, Brittvid.

I was about to post a reply asking if you worked in advertising, then I saw the "punch line." Brownie points for being honest.

Cool picture 321contacts. I agree with your statement, too, that you don't have use FreshLook One Day contact lenses to comment on this post. It would help if you could speak from experience, but even if your information comes from an Internet source, we could still use it here.

That's right. Don't be shy. If you have any information to share, go for it. We'd love to hear it.

Or read it, as the case may be.

Would you care to be a bit more specific about the advantages that both contact lenses and glasses have?

I should have said it sooner, but thanks for the post. I like posts with a nice, neat list.

Cool picture, 321contacts. I bet that would make a snazzy award.

Hello? 008erica? Are you still out there somewhere?

Let's say, theoretically, that I'm shopping for FreshLook One-Day contact lenses. Where do I begin? How do I decide which color to try? I don't want to just try on random colors, I'd like a logical starting point.

That's some nice advertising, but it doesn't really answer the question about making the switch from glasses to FreshLook One-Day contact lenses.

That's a good question, Walkthisway. If someone has blue eyes and wants to wear colored contacts, do they start with something close to their natural color, or do they go with something totally different, since that's the point of colored contacts?

You also ask some good questions, Brittvid. I agree that if you're going to wear color contacts, you should probably go with something that's different from your natural color.

I think I would go ahead and order a different color. Colored contacts can be expensive, so why wear the same color as your eyes and then switch to another color? Go ahead and take the plunge.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say. Thanks Curlupndye.
