I was just looking for these for some fun, some of them look really pretty and I was just wondering if anyone knows where you can buy good quality ones? I've heard you can damage your eyes with poor ones, so I'm looking to avoid that.

You need to visit an eyedoctor first to determin what kind of contacts you need. Normal contacts don't fit for me, for example, I need toric contacts because of the shape of my eyeballs.

Wouldn't even know where to find an "eyedoctor", but thanks, I'll have a look around!

Eye doctor wasn't the right word it seems :D
ophthalmologist or eye specialist ;)

Yeah I got that :P

I'll look for that, although I still need to find somewhere (preferable an online store) where I can buy ones that are good quality.

I don't know what it's like in other countries but most Walmarts here in America have an adjacent ophthalmologist-so-such or eyeglasses center. You could also try strip malls, or just malls in general. If you're lucky, you can find an eyeglasses center there. Though I'd go to an actual doctor first.

Good luck. Eye hope to see you successful in this. (⌐■_■)

I bet you made this post just so you could say that :P

I work at an optical shop and it sells Blincon color contacts,so far there's no complaints from our customers who bought them so you might want to keep a look out for that brand. And yes,poor contacts can damage your eyes,so make sure you do your research before buying any pair of contacts. And I suggest you check your eyes with an eye specialist before buying any,just in case. Oh,and make sure to take them off every day before you go to sleep,just in case as well :)

^This.
i wear contact lenses daily.
Never, ever forget to take them off; if you don't want eyes as big as a football the next day that is.

For my next murder, thanks.

I ordered a pair of red ones from that site because I was playing a monster in my A level media coursework and they fit right in but I suppose you should really go to your nearest opticians first just to be on the safe side.

Get ones that give you anime eyes. It's the first step.

First step on the road to Uncanny Valley.

That is definitely not cute

Hahaha, that looks so weird/horrible.

I have a lot of convention friends that order colored contacts over the internet. If you want more realistic colors, I would definitely go to your eye doctor for that. It's just a lot easier and safer that way. But if you want the bizarre colors, then you're probably gonna have to order in for those.

I was considering a mix of 1 red 1 blue, 1 red 1 green, that sort of thing.

But some of those "gem" style ones on that site I liked just look so amazing.

This.
Normal contacts hurt my eyes as well. It could get serious if it doesn't fit.

I've heard very good reviews about www.pinkyparadise.com, and they have a wide variety of unique colours to choose from.

As said before though, definitely consult an optometrist first before buying them. From what I understand, damage to the eye actually comes about from the contact not properly fitting. It may seem strange, but contacts are not a "one-size fits all" type of thing. Everyone has a different shape to their eyes, and if yours have any curving or bumps, blindness could ensue from ill-fitting contacts. I really can't stress enough, eye doctor first, and if they say it's safe, buy the contacts.

^Are you sure that's a contacts site?
