Death™ asked:

When I got contacts, I said that once I’m used to them, I would like to try color contacts. I was told I could, but that I would need to be re-fitted.

I’ve been using contacts for quite a while, and I’m wondering — do you have to be re-fitted for ANY change, or are changes within a brand alright?

I currently have Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus. If I’m switching to another Acuvue product, wouldn’t the products be uniform in measurements?
Edit: I realize I made that kind of unclear by saying “between”; I mean, can you change within a brand? For instance, from Acuvue Oasys to Acuvue Colors.
Really? They’re so perfect on my eyes that some nights, I’ll forget whether I’ve taken them out, and the only way to tell is to poke my eye and see if they’re on there.

Also, I don’t order from my doctor’s office. I order online.

    Ugh, I don’t know how you can wear Acuvue Oasys. That brand does nothing but irritate my eyes. I think if you wanna switch all you have to do is ask your doctor or the optician handling your order for lenses.

    I don’t think you need to get refitted. I’ve gone back and forth between clear and color in the same brand several times. I have blue eyes and have had green contacts. Plus it’s fun to change eye color. I’m looking for brown ones now.
