      We have no control over this video appearing in search listings. Our channel is aimed at Optometrists, the title on that video works for this audience. On DIYing your own contact lenses, the risk of injury or infection is high. Google acanthamoeba keratitis if you need more convincing

      I agree with John below.. The fx lenses are best for cosmetic realistic colour change. They are not cheap but they are hand painted and very realistic and most people don't need a tone or any adjustments as they have already toned down all of their lenses. If they are really out of your price range try solotica

    curious question, don't know how contacts work, but for sclera lens. Is it possible to have the sclera colored, for instance black, while showing the pupil with whatever color you want?
    If so, will the pupil follow wherever you look or will look straight from where it's painted?
    Like I said, I'm new on contacts, but it's interesting

      @@ChaoticIntention Yup. He did mention they can do ones that only cover the scelera while leaving the iris & pupil transparent. It'll essentially be a big lens with a pupil-sized transparent circle in the middle. It'll still move with the eye just like a normal contact lens. From what I can tell, on 9mmsfx's website, the "trauma" ones let the person's real iris colour show through while mostly only colouring the scelera.
