Lens review: EOS New Adult Brown


This time I bought the New Adult Brown lenses; the brand is EOS. They also go under the name EOS Blytheye Brown. Although they have "brown" in the name, their color is more yellow than brown and this is exactly why I wanted them.
I popped the contacts into my eyes without problems and went to take pics. Shiro Samurai is the photographer.

These are very comfortable to wear but I was disappointed by the color. I was hoping for a more noticeable yellow but they blend into my natural eye color instead, which is a mix of light green and blue. I assume that these look brown on dark eyes though.

Their base curve is 8.6mm and diameter is 14.0mm.

In short:

Color: 7/10
They're definitely not in-your-face yellow but I'm still giving 7 because they give this unnatural color that isn't yellow or brown. They're somewhere in between; it doesn't look downright freaky but it's still pretty obvious that your eye color isn't normal.
Design: 7/10
Simple and cool.
Opacity: 7/10
My eye color slightly affects the lenses' color but you can still obviously tell they're in my eyes.
Enlargement: 4/10
Pretty small for being circle lenses. They can be worn as everyday contacts; they don't give big eyes.
Comfort: 10/10
I was surprised by how comfortable these are. I could wear them for a long time without even feeling them. They don't hinder my vision at all and I completely forget that I'm wearing them. I wore them for probably more than eight hours in a row without problems. I took them off because it was getting late, not because of comfort issues. Not recommended.
Naturalness: 5/10
They don't jump at you but I can't say that they are my real eyes either. Someone actually noticed on the first glance that I was wearing contacts.

  1. Just bought very same lenses, I also was surprised of how comfortable they were! I wished they would have been little bit more yellowish though. Though I had bad lightning when trying them so that why they might have seemed bit too dark too :'D

  2. I think these are still cool even though they aren't yellow enough for oni!Chizuru. :'D I like the pattern (simple and nice) and stuff; I'm tempted to try the New Adult Red ones!
