Today I've received my contact lenses.
Surprisingly shipping took only a few days, considering it's from SK, was pleasantly surprised. Tbh didn't even expect to get it this week even. Moving on.
Got 5 different colours for $60, so $12 per pair, not that expensive. Lenses were from colorcl and they were:
Inserting them was an absolute nightmare. I even watched some youtube videos, but I've still spent over an hour just trying to get those fuckers in. They'd just stick to my finger and wouldn't go into my eye, eventually I managed to get them in, which unfortunately means that I won't be repeating the procedure at least today and it might take me a while to test all of their colours. So results for now are limited, so to say.
Also my eyes are naturally grey.
So it's probably unlikely for many people to have similar colour over here, thus results might not be applicable to most of the people, still, I think it should be mildly interesting, regardless.
Now the lenses themselves. They're uncomfortable to wear, feels like falling out all the time and as if something is stuck in the eyes constantly, which it is after all. If I permasquint it gets a bit better, so it does force me at least to squint, which might be a benefit. Imo, it changes my natural eye expression, for the worse, as I have to maintain unnatural/uncomfortable eye position. If I were to try to "look" naturally as if without lenses, the view distorts heavily and they start causing physical pain and causes a "climbing" effect, as if trying to get out over the eyelid. Also while looking straight ahead or slightly up - the view is fine, even slightly better than naturally, as I've got -0.5dioptres(I'm slightly myopic I suppose), but looking slightly off the center view becomes foggy and muddy. Imo rather disappointed overall. Not comfortable, annoying, causes me to blink at 300 rpm, like I'm on some sort of drugs. I either fucked up the lenses physically as it was really quite an effort to get them in or that's just how it is with such stuff, that's not custom made for your eye ball. Will see how it goes with other pairs in the future.
The first pair I tested out were - Siesta Crystal Iris Blue. Looking into the mirror, from up close you can see the white "limbal" ring part around the iris of the eye, but it's hard to see that and there's an pixel pattern, but you've got to look for it to really see and it's hardly visible. Overall I think it'd be completely unnoticeable to people, unless you're in an intimate position with somebody i.e. kissing, where it might be visible, but even then doubtful. Imo you can even see it in the picture(white limbal ring), even though it's so pixelated. Surely forgot to point out something.

Would like to show them all off right now, but...Inserting them was an absolute nightmare. I even watched some youtube videos, but I've still spent over an hour just trying to get those fuckers in.
