Geo Nudy Circle Lenses - Brown, Golden Blue, Gray, Green, & Violet

Circle lenses have become a phenomenon in Korea and other Asian countries. A lot of Asian actresses, models, and pop stars wear them.

What circle lenses are is lenses that enhance and create a large eye effect. The diameter of the lens is bigger than the eye, and this gives the eye a big dolly look. There are many different brands, patterns, and colors. They generally last up to a year, if you clean them regularly. Always have clean hands before touching the lenses. You eye can get infections and remember these are your eyes. So take care of them. You generally can wear them between 6-8 hours. DO NOT wear them over the 8 hours, because circle lenses are larger than regular contact lenses and you eyes can't get the oxygen it needs.

The lenses are not sold in the US because they are not FDA Approved. However in Korea they are FDA approved. They are safe for the eye when properly maintained and cleaned. Do be aware of fakes, the geo lenses have a scratch off sticker that lets you know if they are authentic by typing in the code in a site geo.fw1860.com

I purchased my lenses at Pinkyparadise.com. My over all experience was good. One thing I really like about the site is the variety of lenses. They have a lot of different brands, colors and patterns. Shipping took 2-3 weeks. Do take notice they are shipping from Malaysia, and it does take some time to get to you. But if you can wait, it is worth it, because of the price. They are mid range as far as price. However they are much cheaper than most sites that sell a pair for 30-40 USD. With each lens purchase, you get a lens case, and for last months they had a special on animal contact lens cases and I think they still have this special going on. Their super cute! They come in all different animals and colors. I would definitely purchase from them again.

Comfort 7.5/10
Color Design 7.5/10
Enlargement 10/10
Over all 7/10

Overall the Geo Nudy circle lenses are fairly comfortable. I personally can feel them on the eye and I can see a slight blur, around the edges due to the color of the lens. This may vary from eye to eye. However it does not block my vision. I would give the Geo Nudy circle lenses a 7/10 on comfort level. I am getting use to lenses, so for the moment I can only wear them bout 2-3 hours.

The design of the lenses are very unique. Some say they look reptile-like. And I would have to agree. But, depending on the color you choose, it sometimes will be more noticeable, while some will look fairly natural. I wish they looked a little more natural, however I do like the halo effect.

The Enlargement is very substantial. I'd give it a 10/10 Even without a dark ring around it, it looks big on the eyes.

Over all they look best in pictures and natural light. I would rate them over all a 7/10
