In a world where most color contact lenses either not change your eye color too much, or not come in your specific prescription (especially for astigmatism), custom contact lenses are increasingly popular. There are several places you can get them, but not all of them will be able to provide you with your exact measurements and prescription needs. There is however, one place that can do that. It's called FXEyes, and they are a company called Crystal Reflections located in Arizona, USA, that provides both natural custom colors and theatrical lenses that are hand painted to your particular needs. The cost is high, running anywhere between $200 and $550 for the pair, but the pair lasts at least one year, and when you do the math it may be well worth it considering most other custom places, like Custom Contacts (http://www.customcontacts.com/home.html) charge well over $1000.00 for custom lenses. I tried FXeyes, but after having to exchange the lenses over 3 times and not getting my exact requirements I gave up on them. I also thought the lenses were too thick, but they do stay put as a result. It is something you can get used to. The materials and sizes will vary according to your needs, so they can customize everything, even pupil hole. The picture is shown above, and despite the nice color I think the lenses look like they are "jumping out" at you more so than any other brand, probably due to the thickness of it. The website for FXeyes is http://www.fxeyes.com/ and you may be able to save some money with the discount codes listed on the home page.

ReplyDeleteCustomcontacts.com is a big scam. They forced me to pay $250.00 for their eye exam, saying I must have it done by them for health reasons. They were so money hungry that they didnt even make sure I would react well to the material of the lenses and when I received them, after 3 hours of wear, my eyes were bloodshot red and they hurt to the touch. When I contacted them about it, their only concern was the money. They were afraid of giving up the money they scammed from me and offered no real solution. Their $1900.00 contacts look faker than the $100.00 ones you can buy off the internet. They are only good for Halloween and the pictures are entirely deceiving. Beware of customcontacts.com
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for sharing maryam since I was considering getting lenses from them. You saved me a lot of money. Were the lenses thick & bulgy looking? I think all opaque colored lenses block more oxygen to the eyes thus making them red. I did stop by their shop and got the impression they are all about the benjamins. No customer service to be found. Also some of their client before & after photos are the same as on FXEyes' site, which is strange.
ReplyDeleteWhat color FX lenses are these?
ReplyDeleteHi Ro, sorry for the very late reply. These are custom, so I basically told them the color I wanted and showed them a picture of someone's eyes. It's a mix of sea green and sky blue.
ReplyDelete"I tried FXeyes, but after having to exchange the lenses over 3 times and not getting my exact requirements I gave up on them." I am a bit confused.....is this review saying DO order from them or DON'T. If you had to exchange a few times, they are too thick...and in the pic they were jumping around would that make them not a good choice. At times you sound like you love them and at times you sound as if you are saying they are bad. Just asking because I am considering purchasing. Hope you still check this blog as I realize the last posting was in 2009.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate all of the information that you have shared. Thank you for the hard work!
