For the past several years (since they discontinued the colored contacts I'd worn for about 20 years) I've been searching for a single colored contact - none of those fake striations. I found some that could only be ordered by my eye doctor, they were expensive, not disposable and when my eye doctor sold his practice it took six months (the script is only good for a year) to get new ones. Then I found these, affordable, single color, monthly. These are fantastic! The color I ordered is a bit darker than I thought they'd be but they're so affordable I'll just try another color next time.
