I remember trying to get the Expressions contact lenses too through my eye doctor because they thought they were neat and not that much pricier than my Freshlook Colorblends or Acuvue 2 Colored lenses. But he explained to me that before I couldn't even order them and that I had to get a demo one from the company sent in for me to try first because they were too large for my eye or something. So I'm thinking maybe that's why you had issues with them fitting correctly.
Also, I don't really want to be the party pooper here. But with colored contacts its
VERY IMPORTANT that you don't wear them for a prolonged period of time or on a daily basis. This is because the colored part of the lens covers that certain part of your eye...umm your pupil?(sorry if its wrong, I suck with eye terms) blocks a lot of oxygen from reaching your eyes. Which in the long run can cause a lot of problems since we all know oxygen depravation of any kind is bad. It's actually worse with circle lenses since the color part of the lens covers even more area on the eye which means even more oxygen depravation. Now I'm not saying to not ever wear colored/circled lenses just limit yourself to only wearing them either for special events, going out or for only a few hours or a few days out of the week. You should actually switch up wearing contacts and glasses to allow your eyes a few days to just "breathe". So just be careful ladies!
