Grarh! As I look around at contact lenses, I am starting to hate all of you people with normal-shaped eyes! There are so many different brands and colors available in nontoric lenses. Did you know you can get purple! I'm so jealous. And I was watching some girl on Youtube show off her Natural Touch lenses and the color was spectacular.

Envy envy envy.

The only company that makes toric lenses in colors is the Freshlook colorblends line, and we only get blue, green, gray and honey. I've tried green and gray and had zero luck. The color is pretty much imperceptible on me. I wouldn't try honey, becuase that's basically the color I'm starting with. Now I want the blue ones, but I'm faced with either paying $75 for another lens fitting so I can get the free trial pair, or I can pay $150 to get 6 pair of the blue ones and risk them being completely imperceptible and awkward to see out of.

No one is demoing the torics on youtube. Le sigh.

Yeah, I have some purple lenses. I'd be so upset if I couldn't get coloured lenses for cosplay. I hate that there's not really an better option for you. The problem is dark eyes really need opaque lenses and Fresh Look colour blends aren't. My best friend has managed to wear normal lenses before, but I'm assuming you've tried this before and know how they fit or rather ... don't fit. You'd think there'd be more options for toric wearers.

I have astigmatism in my left eye, but I don't bother. Much cheaper to buy normal lenses. I had a toric lens in the left eye once, and I remember it being really nice, but if it's for a cosplay, I wouldn't stress too much.

I have really dark eyes, so finding color contacts is a pain. Colorblends are useless. I got my Lelouch contacts at a beauty supply store in the city.

I have a minor astigmatism and once persuaded an optometrist to prescribe non-toric lenses for stage use only. Might be worth discussing with your doc.
