Max Pure Brown Circle Lenses
Tuesday | February 2nd, 2010 | 84 Comments 
Firstly, I’m feeling better! Like, MIRACULOUSLY better by this evening! Mike said it would only last 3 days and he was right. I was a little sluggish until the afternoon. 
But now I’m feeling good. Also it’s snowing… again. They said maybe 6″ ?! 
Secondly, for any poor souls following my twitter I apologize for my USPS rage-induced ranting you had to endure all day, haahaaa. 
But I was excited to track down my package because it was the replacement lens of the MAX Pure Brown circle lens series!!
Pinky Paradise was kind enough to ship me a new lens free of charge to replace the defective one I had first received. THANK YOU! PINKY PARADISE! PINKY PARADISE! PINKY PARADISE! PINKY PARADISE! PINKY PARADISE! 
These are my waaay more natural looking pair. I could actually wear these to work I think without much notice or comments which would be nice!
They do add diameter to your eye because they’re 14.5 lenses. But the color is just so lovely with green eyes. And they’re fairly comfortable!! Waaay more comfortable than my Geo Angel lenses. Though not as comfortable as the KING Blue lenses I have. Those feel like daily wears! These are good though. Just need drops every now & then. 
I had some past comments asking me if circle lenses were safe or how do you take care of them or what do you need? So I threw a little response together. And also, some thought you NEED to have a prescription to wear them. Not true! It’s actually easier if you don’t need prescription circle lenses since the plano (-0.0, meaning no prescription) are much, much easier to find! :good:
Are circle lenses safe?
Daily contacts wearers will find this all quite repetitive, haahaa~
feel free to skip! This is more for first time contact wearers!
A LOT of people have asked me if circle lenses were safe to wear. Yes. They’re actually quite safe if you follow proper instructions. Just like daily wear contacts! You know, no sleeping in them, rinse and clean them before wear AND after wear, store them properly, and so on.
The only damage contacts can do is if you don’t take care of them properly.
Just like any other daily contacts, a few simple steps can keep your contacts and eyes healthy and happy!
However, unlike many daily wear contacts, these circle lenses are often a bit thicker. When you wear contacts you’re blocking oxygen from reaching the eye. It’s not as scary as it sounds. It just means you don’t want to suffocate your eye with wearing them for more than 8~10 hours a day. For those with sensitive eyes stick to 6 hours or less. And do not ever sleep in them. EVER.
Clean them properly after each wear with a daily solution meant for soft contacts. (With washed and cleaned hands of course!) The solution is extremely easy to find. I use Bausch & Lomb’s Renu Fresh multi-purpose solution. However, and this goes for all contacts, even though the solution says “no rub,” rub your contacts just a bit anyway. Years ago “no rub” solution didn’t exist. Instead you’d have like 3 bottles. One for disinfection, 1 for storage, and one for rewetting. With the invention of no rub many people have stopped softly rubbing (or cleaning) their contacts. You should still gently rub them, just a bit, and rinse to work off any excess protein that may have built up from the days wear.
Protein is really the contact killer. A bad buildup of protein not only keeps more oxygen from reaching your eye, but shortens your contact’s lifespan, can create blurred vision by clouding the contact and can even cause eye infections!
I also use a more deep cleaning solution once or twice a week! Clear Care! It really freshens up my daily wears and is safe for any soft contacts lenses. You place your contacts into the unique cleansing case then when you add the solution. Bubbles start floating to the top cleaning away excess protein and killing bacteria! Your contacts should stay in the solution for at least 8 hours. :good: It costs slightly more than typical daily solution but since I don’t use it as often it’s worth the extra! 
Another thing to be careful of is constantly wanting to touch your eye due to uncomfortable contacts. You should only touch your eye with clean and washed hands or else you could rish getting an infection. Instead, I highly recommend buying a tiny bottle of rewetting drops for this! Most discomfort is due to dryness. Again, easy to find, relatively cheap, and super tiny so you can carry it around in your purse or even pocket!
As always, proper storage for contacts is a must! These should be rinsed after each use as well. The solution can dry inside the case (when left open after contacts are removed.) And bacteria can grow inside causing eye infections and protein buildup. It’s all about staying clean for your eye’s health! :good: And the same steps preserve the lifespan of your contacts too!
I found this really great page on total lens care. The internet, including Youtube, can be a great resource for first time contact wears!
