that is "The Man" looking at you. you have been warned.
This is a dumb idea unless you already wear contacts and know what the fck you're doing. You can get a really fcked up infection.
Pink eye included with every purchase!
You still need a prescription for these in the states.
But if you fake your Rx and get a sight threatening corneal infection, I'm pretty sure you can still sue Internet Brands, Coastal Contacts and Ben.
That's only if you let #3 stick his finger in your eye!
If you let him hump you, you'll get free HIV!
Sounda like you all hve a nice life your enoying, nothing like takin your problems out on a message board for discount contacts
#6 sounda like he's a havin a bad cuz he allowed #3 to hump him.
$56.30, not $52.00. There's a mandatory $4.10 handling/ insurance charge.
First time though, shipping defaults to $14.95, so watch out for that and make sure you choose $8.
Order more than one pair and your discount applies to the total order and your shipping stays the same but you pay the handling/insurance charge for each set.
They also accept paypal in addition to the usual credit cards.
If you're considering these, here's what I can tell you...
Last month, I bought a pair (on-line) of the zombie white-out from Walgreens' "wild eyes" collection. I got them for our theatre's Halloween show, but since they're kind of pricey, I wore them to Dragoncon as well to help justify the price (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
My eye doctor said they are safe and FDA approved so long as I stick to an American company. (Out of country suppliers don't ask for a prescription and aren't overseen by the FDA). Turns out Coastal is a Canadian company but it does say they are FDA approved and they also require a prescription to ship to the US so they seem legit.
Comfort-wise, these are definitely not for every day wear. I wore them for about 10 hours straight, my eyes were a little irritated by the end of the day, but I was around a lot of smokers and my allergies were acting up, so I think even my regular contacts would have bothered me. In any case, it wasn't bad enough to want to change them out.
I don't know about the ones that cover the sclera as well, but they look extremely uncomfortable.
Mine happen to be prescription strength but you can buy them "plain." Even if you don't normally wear contacts, you'll have to have a prescription from an eye doctor for the lenses to make sure they're "sized" correctly -- they only come in one standard diameter/curvature which will fit most people, but not all. They also do not have toric options so they cannot correct an astigmatism (mine is mild enough that it didn't matter).

In the zombie white out (with the pupil spot), my peripheral vision is cloudy so I wouldn't drive in them, but I see plenty well enough to walk around and interact with people and even watch a movie. I thought I would suffer from diminished eyesight in the dark (since more of the pupil area of my eye would be obscured) but there was really no difference. The solid white-out states that you will not be able to see out of it (so you'd only want to use one). I think that was the only fx style with that warning.
Someone else at the convention had the "moon and star" one. It was very subtle, so much so that I didn't even notice it until she pointed it out. Personally, if I'm going drop money on something like this, I'm not going for a "subtle" effect but she seemed happy with them.
I am leery about the "cat" or "dragon" eye styles where the pupils are slitted and not round. Constantly trying to keep them straight up and down would be a hassle. Not having them straight would bother me, but others might not be as OCD.
With the 15% discount Walgreens had at the time, I got both a left and right (in prescription strength) for around $96 total including tax (shipping was free). At Coastal, with Ben's discount, they're about 1/3 cheaper which is not bad.
Overall, since I'm stuck wearing contacts anyway, these were a fun splurge.
