Natural Touch Limbal Ring

yournamehere · #1 (**permalink**) 04-18-2008, 04:50 PM

I found a website talking about the Natural Touch contact lenses they are selling.

One of the points the made was this this contact lens has a "unique limbal ring" which is the black ring around the edge of the iris.

This isn't unique to Natural Touch, is it? What other contacts have these?

From what I've researched over the years, the dark ring is unique to Natural Touch...the other colored lenses appear washed out on brown eyes or so much of the brown shows that the color looks muddy. At least that's my opinion.

If anyone knows of other colored lenses with the dark ring, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks.

Hi gpgreer, Just catching up on some of my old posts. If you want to see limbal rings aplenty see the thread here on Lens 101 about Natural Touch Opaque contact lenses.
Here's a link for you:

I hope that helps.

VENUS lenses from Marietta Vision also have a VERY noticeable black limbal ring arond them. I have them in the ICE BLUE -the color is very bright.I get lots of compliments on them but I do not think they are very naturel looking.

Hi Tamera,
Thanks for your reply. I checked Marietta Vision & found several selections. I'll try out the Venus lenses. my only hesitation isbuying cosmetic lenses several years ago but they were NOT natural looking.

Question:
what color are your eyes?
have you tried other colors in addition to ICE BLUE (eg., PACIFIC BLUE or SLATE GREY)? My Natural Touch SULTRY GREY make my dark brown eyes appear blue.

Thanks again & have a great day.

Thanks for the answer, Tamera. Would you be opposed to posting a picture of yourself wearing these contact lenses you've gotten so many compliments on?

I would be more than happy to post photos of theses and the other kinds of contacts that I have and wear--but im not sure how to post photos--if someone would tell me how to do so then I will post alot of photos. Can you tell me how to post photos on here?? Thanks

Well . . . it looks like you figured out how to post a picture.

How did you get it to be life sized like that? The contacts look great, by the way. Good choice.

My guess is that the picture is saved on your computer that way. You might have a program on your computer that can edit photos and make them smaller. I don't know what program you use to save your pictures, so I can't really get more specific than that.

Besides, this is a contact lens and sunglasses website, and I really don't want to go off on a photo editing tangent. The contacts look good, by the way.

You're right about the prominent limbal ring. They look good on you, though. Thanks for the pictures.

You say they're not natural looking, and that may be true, but in the picture your eyes are so big that of course the contacts don't look natural. They probably look much better in the real world.
