Natural Touch/Elegance Op.'s since age 15

Spenstar · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2009, 03:06 AM

I started wearing contacts for vision correction when I was 12. I began wearing Elegance Opaques at 15, first in green, and eventually started to wear Natural Touch in Sultry gray (which back in the 1990's were the lightest 'natural looking lens to cover a brown eye available and very expensive). I moved on the the baby blue - which I currently wear; but I have tried every shade - (I am thinking of ordering some 'Aqua Seas'). I believe these are the most realistic looking lenses - especially if somone isn't right in your face in broad daylight! I might go back to the 'Sultry Gray' (which looked good when I was a bleached blond raver teen in the SF area but...) now that I am older, I love the baby blue and I have never tried Dura Soft Colors of any kind or the 'Illusions' lenses - should I before just investing and sticking with the Natural Touch - which look great on my dark brown eyes btw. I am up for anything - even considering the new surgery... any advice would help (from people who are caucasian with brown eyes - my eyes are super dark). I want a light but natural look for everyday. I currently wear the Natural Touch baby blue every single day and wouldn't be seen without them - but I live in Miami Beach FL. and don't work. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Spenstar. Welcome to Lens 101.

You've put up my favorite kind of post--one that has personal experience.

I've seen picture of people wearing the Natural Touch Baby Blue and I think that one is my favorite.
Now, you said that you don't work, so are you saying that you're looking for contact lenses that are less expensive than Natural Touch?

You could try Lens.com. I checked the website and they have Natural Touch listed, and there's nothing on the page that says that they are no longer available, so maybe they've got some still in the warehouse. Give them a try and tell us what you find out, okay? Just go to this page here:
