• Wonder of colored contact lenses

    Colored contact lenses can sometimes be real eyes to people who don’t know about them. You are at a restaurant trying to order food for you and your wife. The following situation occurs. How will you handle it if you were the customer speaking to the waiter?

     

    Lol a server told me (very cautiously as he seemed worried I’d get offended) that my wife had the most amazing eyes he’d ever seen. “They look like galaxies!”

    Me: “Those are colored contact lenses”

    Him: “Oh my god, those aren’t natural?”

    Me: trying not to laugh Nope, but I will pass along the compliment.

    I thought her eye color was very obviously fake, but she enjoys them and I don’t care. Some people enjoy seeing something new. Kinda feel bad I spoiled it for him, but it felt worse to let him think there was a natural “sparkly” eye color that existed.
