Re: Color toric contacts

Tinted disposable toric are hard to come by, you are pretty much
limited to Fresh Look and they are not in your power.  In non
disposable there are some other, smaller speciality labs that have
some limited colours available which may or may not be available where
you live.

Your cyl is low so you may be able to tolerate sphere only.  In that
case you have  FreshLook and Acuvue to choose from.

In any event, your doctor will know what is available and will have
coloured trials to try in office so that you can choose the colour you
want; between the companies you have several dozen colours available.

I've been wearing soft contacts for a while now (Coopervision
"Preference") and would like to try a color lens.  Unfortunately
they're hard to find in my prescription... -7.50, 0.75 cyl.

The only toric lens with a high enough sphere that I found is Durasoft
Optifit, but they're a hefty $200 a pair.  What if I don't like the
color? :)
Perhaps I could get a non-toric Freshlook in a slightly higher power?  
They're 2-week disposables I believe and pretty cheap.  Freshlook has
torics also but they seem to only go up to 4.00 sphere power.

I'm going to ask my eye doc next week but I'd like to do some research
first.  Any suggestions are welcome; thanks.
