Solotica Hidrocharme Ice

Sunday, June 23, 2013
Hey guys, sorry about the GIANT hiatus. I've spent the last 9 months preggo and our little star is finally here- Hooray! I've decided to devote more time to lens reviews since I will be working at my day job from home for a long time now and I will be able to sneak in some Blogger time as well ;)

I bought some lenses from wrlens.com- Solotica Hidrocharme in "Ice".  Here's a pic:


This is normal lighting with my crappy cell phone camera XD

Here's a breakdown:

Color: 9.5
I think these lenses are GORGEOUS! The only thing keeping them from a 10 is that the limbal ring doesn't fade into the icy color very well, but you can't tell unless you're up close. My eyes are naturally medium-ish brown and you can see the color blends beautifully in with my own.

Price: 7
On wrlens.com, these lenses are about $98 (U.S. currency).  Not horrible, but pretty dang expensive for those of us who have to buy diapers on a regular basis. On the plus side, they last for a year if you take really good care of them.

Comfort: 6
Unfortunately, these lenses dried my eyes out pretty bad after only a few hours of wear. I had to keep putting in drops and ultimately by the end of the day, the right one was sticking to my eyelid everytime I blinked, so I had to take them out and let them soak overnight. (And let my eyes recuperate.)

Enlargement: 0
These aren't Korean circle lenses, so don't expect any enlargement effect.

Overall: 7.5
The biggest selling point on these lenses is the beautiful color.  They look very natural and if you want a lot of compliments, they are good to go... just be sure you have lots of eyedrops with you!

*Note: I also have the Hidrocor from Solotica in Ice; the only difference is there is no limbal ring, everything else is the same. Sorry I don't have a pic but I tore one of them by accident and had to throw them out. (It's like flushing $100 down the drain #facepalm)
