The contacts I wore were the same, however. It is unlikely that you will get good red contacts, particularly if you have a prescription, for under $50. Mine were very pricey ($200-ish when I got them, a bit more now–although I have a prescription so it might be less without a prescription), and I purchased them from 9mm SFX, who makes INCREDIBLE FX contacts. They’re the red wolf style. Here’s the site link http://02a5349.netsolstores.com/.

Thanks for checking out the blog!

However, I haven’t had much luck in finding them, and certainly not any that are affordable. May I ask where you got yours?
