FX Contacts

Another subject I forgot to post. I find this very interesting. I love people who go to the fartherest extent to get their cosplay so professional looking. <3 Questions or whatever about it go here. <3

But here are some links I've gotten so far:

http://www.opticsfirst.com/expressions.html

I would really try out the last link. Never seen them so cheap.

Any links for color contacts? paste them here, darling <3

Thanks for those links. Especially that second one. Holy cow! Too bad they appear to be only non-prescription. *sigh*

If anyone find a site that sells prescription FX lenses, that'd be super helpful. Unfortunately, I'm practically blind so no prescription isn't an option. :p

I'll look into it monday! <333 I wont stop until I find eet either! *sakydance* X3

Thank you! I'm having a heckuva time finding the right shade of Legato gold in anything that's available in prescription form. And being the detail freak that I am, I must have the eye color right. :p

Something you need to be aware of is the contacts, which are uner 100.00 generally are only good for about 4 months after you open the bottles they come in. ^_^

FXcontacts.com is a good site, but prices are a bit high.

Walmart sells them, prescription, and they can be used for years if you store them right. ^_^

(Yellow.....I love you *hugs*)

here's a few sites from least expensive to most expensive

also, the first two offer some in perscription ^o^ *I checked out the first one, and it's like, $10 more for a perscription set*

Mishikotoko: Walmart?! *facepalm* I didn't even think of that! Too bad I don't have that employ discount any more...

athena: D'oh! I forgot about cosplaylab too. *headshake* Thanks for reminding me! ^_^

yeah...walmart.

You know where you can get glasses....they really dont advertise it, but they sell them.
They sell the ones which are precription only, so you have to get an eye exam.

*__*

That last site makes me VERY happy. <3 <3 I can get my Sora contacts finally!!!!!!!


Thanks for posting the sites! :3 All the other sites I had found were at least $30 a pair. x_x

Eep! Prices for these things are terrible. Yay for atleast it being cheaper xD;

but here is the thing. you get what you pay for.

The more expensive generally means they are custom made for your eyes, and some last for ever..

say 180.00 (high price) for a pair beats paying 30-40.00 for them every 30 to 90 days. in the long run. XD Then again costuming and FX can get really pricy.

True. But. As long as they serve the purpose for a while... a little eye irritation is better than a empty wallet XD;

lol. ^_^

They wont really irratate your eyes if they arn't made for them, just be harder to put in...So be careful everyone. ^_^ I love FX contacts..lol

Eyes tend to get irratated when something that doesn't belong there is uncomfy, darling ^_^;

Anyway. Quality does matter, but of course thats not saying the cheaper pairs are junk. If you want a long lasting pair, you'll need to shell out more money. But the cheaper pairs are nice also. I'm going to purchase mine there also. ^_^ I wouldn't tell you guys anything I wouldn't do; myself.

Now lets get on to those questions! Ask away :3~ I'm getting bored up in here! *smooch*

Do you know what contact cleanser you are going to get for them?

Which brand would be the best to use for FX contacts, which only last 3 months compared to one which last years? I know there are different chemicals put in them, thats why I am asking...

What would you suggest?
