Im still thinking about investing in a pair.C: I really really want them can anybody tell me the Pro's and cons about them please and thank you! < 3
o 3 o;;
I am going to get a pair of these soon!
I just have to wait a little while to accumulate money. >w<
Baaank!
I'm getting a pair too. They have already been ordered. The odd thing about these is they are cheaper than buying contacts where I live.
(because you have to get a contact eye exam first which is like 100$ D: )

Little Core- Ah, excellent thinking, my friend. Huh, the pros and cons? That's a fairly general idea. I guess I'll go for as many pros and cons as I can? sweatdrop

PROS
-Lenses often last between 6 months and a year (if take care of properly)
-Price: In the average range of circle lens prices, it's not uncommon to see a pair for 15 or 16 dollars, or even less. Even the 'better' brands are averaged in the 20's.
-A huge range: there must be over a hundred different designs of circle lenses, and there're more beig made all the time.
-Look: they enlarge and give your eye colour.
-Colours: In terms of the available colours, it's certainly able to be able to match your eyes to your outfit or vice versa.
-Prescription- you can, in fact, get a prescription on your lenses, and there's even lenses for astigmatism (torics).
-Finally, if you get circle lenses, you'll get 10 cool points from this thread. cool Trufax.

CONS
-Megatron
-Starscream
(Sorry, too much Transformers. ;P)
-$$: some of the brands go for over 50 or 60 bucks a pair
-Fit: Most circle lenses are set at a BC of 8.6, and with a diameter of 14.0, or 14.2. If your own BC is waayy off, you may find the lenses sliding about too much for your own tastes.
-Damage: Like all contact lenses, circle lenses are said to eventually cause wear on your eyes if used consistently.
-Uhh... getting fakes?: Occasionally, if someone takes a venture and buys from a new seller, it turns out they're providing fake/imitation Geos or EOS's or whatever. (lesson: buy from accredited, reputable stores+sellers)


Imma Bank- Yay~! Do you know what colour or brand you like? Or are you just saving up enough and then deciding later on? o:

Ori- Ewww- same for you, too? D: Even with insurance, the contact lens fitting/exam costs a ridiculous amount of money.
Noxin:: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a bit over 100$ for the exam which I find ridiculous, even if you want non-prescription lenses, which is the case for me.
I like a few of the geo ones. >w<
I wrote about it in my blog.
I want quite a few pairs but I am going to start off with one pair and if I like them, I will get more.

Yay, Ori!
Bank::
That's what I'm doing. Getting one pair from Geo and seeing how I like them.

Yay~! My aunt bought me a pair of lenses. 4laugh Wahahaha! C:< Family = awesome. Oh, and I got my dream pair of lenses: G&G GBT Violet. <33 However, I'll have to make like Ori and wait and see how they look, as there are maybe two pictures I've ever seen of them being worn. sweatdrop

>.> *sits down to wait* I hope Secret Eyes ships them to me quickly. whee

* * *
Bankie- Ah, you're doing as many before you have done, then. 3nodding Hum... will you be getting the classic 'tester' pair of circle lenses, the Angle Browns? o: Or will you be more daring than I and many others?

Ori- Ahh, so since my brain has short-circuited again after my loonngg day, I have to ask if you're getting your lens through a group order or otherwise? If so, did the vendor already place the order with their supplier? 'cuz I know how much I hated waiting for the order goal to be met in my first preorder. @_@ It took, like, a month. ;_;
Yeah, I ordered them through a group order, but the order has been placed already.
The month waiting for the order to fill up is when I had forgotten that I even ordered them
xD
There's an official thread/
Wahahah!

I had a pair of...G&G black. : D
But they ripped in like a month when I was washing them.

So I bought a pair of Nudy Grays.
They aren't ripped (yay)
But I haven't worn them much

(My parents don't know I wear them >O)

And I also bought Tears Brown.
They are with my friend right now and I still have to pick them up -shot-

I buy mine from FACEBOOK <3
Black- $35
Gray- $25
Brown- $15

I had discount price for the brown ones though. And they were plano, so they were cheaper.
I wanna post pics but I don't wanna burn your eyes. XD
Lol, please do grace us with pictures~
I would love to see more pictures of Circle Lenses. I haven't seen a lot.
LULZ OKAY.
I'll post the non horrible ones XD -is a camwhore-

User Image
G&G Black- sorry blurry. = w =
But you can tell my eyes are bigger, riiight? XD;;;

User Image
Nudy Gray
Can't really tell it's gray though. = O =;;
The black ones make it look like you are going to cry.
D:

You can sort of tell the second ones are grey though, but with both pairs you can definitely see the enlargement. I really like the grey ones.

Arrgghh!! *flail* I go blogshop hunting (successfully cool ) and I miss zee new person! o: Anyway...
* * *

Domburi-chan- Hello, hello! Welcome to the thread, and thank you SO much for posting pics. ;_; It's just been me and April Fool Romance so far....

In any case... you're adorable! I especially like the Nudy Greys. 3nodding Hum... a lot of people with them say that they thought it'd be brighter when worn. How do you like the colour? O: Oh, and you're one of the elite minority of people who can make black lenses look good. :3

And do you mean to say your parents don't know about you wearing any of your circle lenses, not just the nudys? o.o Holy crap. Haha- I could only hide my habit for about two months, tops.

P.S. Would you mind terribly if I added your pics to the Gaia Circle Lens PB account? It's usually for the pics found in reviews, but you do have grey lenses, which we have no pictures of any Gaians wearing. C:< And if yes, would you want your name added to the picture's description box? (Otherwise, the title'd just be the lens name)

P.P.S. No grudges will be held if you say no. C: Trufax.

Ori O Cookie- Ahhh, I see. I shall store this answer away, so my premature Alzheimer's doesn't prompt me to ask again in another couple of days. xD
Noxin:: Lol, kay. I can't wait till they come in. I'll have to see how long they will take to ship to the GO manager and then to meee.
I'm so excited, yet I can already see myself hurting my eye trying to get them in. xD
