EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
hard contacts? it takes practice. took me like 20 min fo reach eye the first time. now it's a matter of seconds.

if you're talking soft, those are the easiest things to put on and take off...
 
Go very close up the the mirror, almost so your nose is touching it. Also make sure your fingers are not too moist before you put the contact on your finger. Don't worry you'll get the hang of it soon.

🙂

(I been wearing them for over 10 years).

Edit: Hard or soft? Soft I assume?

Not exactly true. Most people still have difficulty even putting an eye drop in his/her eye, let alone even a soft contact.

I hate putting eye drops in.
 
When starting off, I found it easier to open the eye with one hand, then look up. Then put the contact him, so it's below the pupil. Close your eye lid, then look down while it's closed. The contact should slide into place. Good luck! It's a bitch the first few times!

I'm a sucker for green eyes. Every girl I've ever had a "crush" on had green eyes.
 
I tried for months to wear contacts several years ago. I had to use the gas permeable ones because of my stigmatism. I could NOT do it... and eventually gave up... glasses FTW

 
i got brown contacts from my eye doctor and the color is still the same as mine. 🙁

i'll get to order light brown contacts soon. 😀

My eyes are pretty green most of the time anyway, the eye doctor thought the enhancers were the best way to go.I also tried on the blue but everybody in the office voted for the green 🙂

these look really cool but natural,you were right 🙂

My eyes are naturally green, all the time. But I got a free sample of AcuVue2 Colours, and unfortunately, they were green (I didn't get a color choice). But they made my eyes a much brighter shade of green, and I preferred them over my natural color. Actually got quite a few compliments because of them, so they're ok in my book.

Enjoy.

Would it be weird for someone to change their eye colour completely?

That's usually the point. 🙂

Just what I said, that's the point of color lenses -- to change the color of your eyes. I mean, I might get several different colors. Looking at AcuVue's selection... I would try the blues, Pearl Gray, and Jade Green (my free trial). I like all color eyes, but personally wouldn't want to have brown eyes, so those are out.
