Circle contacts for Halloween - anybody know about these?
I watched the "Bad Romance" video by Lady Gaga. There is a place near the beginning when she is making goofy faces in the bathtub - she has dark rings around her eyes -- I would call it doll eyes. I google this and find out they are called "Circle contacts". They are the same size as regular soft contacts but make your eyes look bigger. Lots of girls wear them in Asia. They also come in weird colors.

And then I found out they come in prescription -- I'm blind as a bat without my eyeballs or glasses -- and I seriously considered it. GREEN EYES!!! (my natural eye color is hazel which is gold/light brown with green spots).

I'm gonna dye my hair red so it will look like a fright wig -- I have enough hair that I don't need a wig.

Anybody have any experience with these contacts?

I also ordered some Halloween material so I can make some very simple straight robe thing to wear while handing out candy.

1. I don't but they've been around for years.
You might ask an optometrist if cheap ones are manufactured well and won't hurt your eyes, but in my guy's office they advertize them. They're pretty cool; I'm surprised more people don't wear them actually.

2. I used to wear regular color contacts
but found them irritating because every time I blinked, they unseated just slightly for a second so that the color crossed my pupil and obscured my vision for that second. I went back to regular clear contacts.
