Working measurements

Roughly a size 11, but 12 would be sane.

  • Theatrical makeup outlet? (Showface?)
• Red contact lenses
  • Visiting optometrist to get prescription
    • -0.75 left, -1.25 right
  • Currently on trial pairs, awaiting follow-up consultation
  • Find somewhere to order online, use animania forums for advice

    • No recent updates, nor any solid recommendations for something like this: http://forum.animania.net.au/index.php/topic,2543.330.html

    • Will just ask at OPSM, expect to pay maybe $60 for a pair of long-term lenses
  • No problems during trial, settled on -1.00 left, -1.25 right
  • Extreme-special contacts lenses are more difficult that anticipated
    • Coopervision have apparently discontinued their line of special lenses, so it comes down to finding stock in the supply chain, possibly overseas

    • Marietta Vision have some suitable things

    • This place appears to sell them, and you can get them in prescription too

    • Having a backup plan is also a good idea; these only come in plano (non-corrective) though
