Arisia Convention

FDA, legality and details of the article aside, I agree that it's really important to get specially fitted for unusual contacts- especially if you wear glasses (as so many of us do), since the shape of the contact won't necessarily conform as well to your eye if it's not standard shaped. Last Arisia I got a pair of purple contacts from a costume shop to wear as a costume and ended up having to take them out after a few hours because I was constantly feeling the edge of the contact against my cornea, no matter how many eyedrops I used. I wore contacts all through high school, so I know what they should and should not feel like.
