WAICON LENSES FROM ARGENTINA
I have to admit that I have never worn these. This picture is of a friend of mine wearing them, and his eyes are dark like mine. The Waicons are very popular but extremely hard to come by. They are made in Argentina, and are widely available there and in the middle east. Waicons are supposed to be the most natural color lenses in the world, with an ability to change even the darkest eyes into baby blues. Some people say that Waicons are the same lenses are the Magic Tops from Brazil (which I reviewed previously), and from the pictures I can say that the look is pretty much the same. Magic tops are available, as I mentioned before, through a website (that is also available in English) called Viallure. They cost around $140 per pair and last a year, and their measurements are 14.2 (D) and either 8.2, 8.5, or 8.8 (B.C.) with the standard size being the 8.5. But in terms of Waicon - Available Colors: Green, Gray, Hazel, Blue, Lilac... Parameters: BC 8.7 Dia 14.50. How to get them? You can either go to Argentina, or try your luck with a guy named Dan, who is from Argentina and brings them even with your prescription in them (but it will cost more). Online I found that his email is imnotdead22@hotmail.com and they cost around $175.00 with shipping. They last one year, and are supposed to be very comfortable. They are also able to correct astigmatism. There is a blog posting on this topic at http://www.aclens.com/contact_lens_forums/toast.asp?sub=show&action=posts&fid=1&tid=37984 and it can be very helpful for those who really want to try it. Another way of purchase I found was via an Australian site (positively reviewed) and here is the link http://www.oztion.com.au/buy/auctions.aspx?cat=0&keyword=waicon&type5=&i=30.
