(I mean, their glowing eyes look better than what I could do but still, it isn't going to blow the whole budget.)

Also, color contacts are uncomfortable. Pretty much always, in my experience. I admit that I've never worn contacts, but tons of people do it every day and I'm not sure why colored ones would be different than prescription ones. Colored contacts have to be thicker than ordinary contacts (because of the coloring they have to put in it, I think?). The material normal contacts are made of lets air through, color contacts don't do. And for far sighted people, you also have the added eye strain of really having to look through something. That can all be improved by getting contacts fitted to each person's eyes by an eye doctor's prescription (which is pretty costly -- probably more costly than CGI-ing the eyes) but they still won't feel like ordinary contacts.

From what I've read online (I thought about getting some rainbow ones once) you have to get a doctors prescription for any contacts, even colored ones, in the USA. Was I misinformed?

But thanks for the clarification.
