Review: TheDollyEye Puffy 3 Tone Blue Circle Lenses

For a while I was looking for a place to buy inexpensive blue circle lenses. When I learned of TheDollyEye.com and their free shipping, I couldn't pass it up. I bought their 14.5 mm Puffy 3 Tone Blue lenses for $17.99. They got to me in less than three weeks, which for free shipping made me incredibly happy.

Naturally I have brown eyes, so I was a bit concerned when ordering that they wouldn't cover the brown enough and just look weird. I ordered them with no prescription.

The lenses came with a pink case. The packaging left something to be desired, with the bottles being simply wrapped in a newspaper ad (seen in the background). After struggling a bit with unbottling them, I managed to get the lenses into the case and left them to soak in solution overnight.


Comfort
I've never worn contacts before, so getting them in my eye proved a bit of a challenge. After I finally got them in, I had a minute or two with each one where they were extremely uncomfortable (though not painful) in my eye and I thought I'd put it in inside-out. Blinking and closing my eyes let them adjust, and I did get used to them. After this, I didn't even feel them. About three hours of wear later, my eyes started to feel a bit dry and I took them out. I could've worn them longer, but as I'm not used to contacts I didn't want to go overboard.


✿Color/Design
The color is really nice, and while not very realistic for day-to-day wear will work nicely for cosplay. A bit of my brown peeks through the center, which I'm not crazy about but I can live with it. The lenses are vibrant and I'm very happy with the coloring.

✿Enlargement
At 14.5 mm, these lenses noticeably enlarge my eyes and make me look more cartoonish. Even so, they aren't big to a point where I couldn't wear them out shopping or something if I so chose to. They hit a sweet spot between too big and normality.

✿Overall
These are fantastic lenses for $17.99 and free shipping. While next time I might try and find lenses that show less of my brown eye in the middle, I'm nowhere near disappointed by these and would purchase again.
