i've worn colored contacts for about 8 yrs now... and i work for an optometrist...they are very comfortable but they dry out quickly meaning within 8 hours...dont sleep in them if you do you cornea will swell and you prescription will change...they are not very breathable...dont even take a 30 min nap with them on...your eyes will dry out...make sure you keep eye drops with you...something like blink!

well they are like regular ones only have a ring of color on them. you can still see with them in even if theres color. okay so if you need a prescription then they can give you the contacts with the color and so you can see if you have 20/20 vision you can still get them just go to an eye dr. nd ask for them nd theyll measure your eye with this thing you look in and its like they dont ever touch your eye but you need a contact fitting. the theyll say change them every 2 weeks or soemthing theyll tell you how to clean them and stuff. really its not hard to put them in and out it just takes practice so dnt give up. they dont hurt at all and you cant tell they are in. im wearing mine right now and i think theyre amazing and 10 times better than glasses. adn you can have an eye color oyu want. ask the dr. for the colors

I wear them. But mine are prescription + color. Either way they are great. SO far ive worn green, honey, gray, and amythest. Just as a tip, dont get colors that aren't close to your eye color at all. Lets say if u have brown, any other shade of brown or darker colors would look more natural than lets say baby blue. I remember someone who wore baby blue over their brown or bllack eyes and it looked awfully fake! I wore honey over my brown eyes and ppl hadnt figured out i wear contacts in 3 years! Good luck with that!

They are just like regular contacts though you should buy them from a real eye doctor. Contacts come in different sizes. You want a good fit otherwise you can scratch the surface of your eye and end up with a nasty infection.

Colour contacts are really fun!!!! I use them all the time. THey are slightly thicker than the normal lens... but other than that they are fine. Your eye sometimes needs to get used to them but its ok. I had blue and purple.. everyone was like wow is that your real eyecolour so they are realistic... they are super fun so go get some!

I use them. There is not much to tell. Personally, I did it the ghetto way. I got mine at the swap meet. But they worked perfectly for me! I hope that you get everything squared away!
