Having run a Charity Dark Show for special needs kids out of my home for the last 9 years. My first love was the creativity of the darker side. I have been to tons of Halloween style conventions. I have been wearing FX contacts for years. Love them. I went the eye doctor route first. Cost me a small fortune. Common sense rule is the study up and ask lots of questions BEFORE ever using a product. You only have one set of eyes. Take care of them. Never trade contacts with someone else Use proper cleaners for your contacts. And ALWAYS wash your hands thoughly before putting them in. If I knew how to attach in digest mode I would send you pics of me in various contacts over the years. Most wicked fun! As for shopping in Canada I use clearly contacts .ca and Frighteners Entertainment (Jeff is a sweet friend of mine in the haunt industry) He will put product in plain packages for us Canadians and will even throw spiders in the box for fun!!
