What's the difference between circle lenses and color contacts?

They changes the size & color of your eyes.

Remember — Buying contact lenses without a prescription is dangerous!

Get a trial sample from your optometrist. They are not just a toy, to buy @ Walgreens, Target, etc.

Be kind to your eyes! Putting something foreign in your eyes can cause blindness. The FDA has received reports of corneal ulcers and blindness associated with some decorative contact lenses. You need to get a doctor's prescriptions and proper eyecare, you just can't buy them online, it's buyer beware.

An example of one with eye problem:

"I always wear clear contact lens because I'm far sighted

A year ago I tried to use the colored ones and they never done any damage to my eyes

Earlier this year I decided to go back using the clear ones

And now everytime I use colored lenses, there are irritations around my pupils

I thought it was the brand I was using but I kept on switching the brands and there will always irritations if I use color lenses."

Go to the FDA website & search Decorative Contact Lenses: Is Your Vision Worth It?

ALSO: Re: contact cleaners . . . . Promoted as “clinically proven #1 in comfort,” Clear Care lens cleaner’s product label is allegedly not clear enough about the dangers of improper use—resulting in hundreds of eye injuries, according to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), a nonprofit safety group that has been lobbying for stronger Clear Care product warning labeling since 2010.

I don't think its so much as WEIRD, but not good 'cause currently I bought my circle lenses a few months ago and they have my prescription so I wear them nearly everyday(weekdays for school) about 8 hours each day. This is typically okay unless you get really big lenses.

The problem with this is bigger lenses decrease the amount of oxygen getting to your eye and so it isn't good to wear them everyday for long hours especially. I wouldn't recommend circle lenses at all if you want to wear them all day everyday. This could cause eye problems like bluriness and the lack of oxygen has other bad affects. If you wear regular contacts and your eyes get dry alot then you should wear circle lenses for a lesser amount of time.

Circle lenses also last longer and are cheaper. Its like 20-30$ for a pair that lasts a few months if taken care of well.

It's weird for anyone to wear circle lenses on a daily basis. Circle lenses make your eyes appear bigger.
