Does anyone know where I can find some nice, comfortable, natural looking circle lenses?

So I bought some circle lenses a while ago but they were so big I looked bug eyed and they dried my eyes out so badly I couldn't even keep them in for an hour.So I was wondering- are there any nice circle lenses out there that only give a SLIGHT enlargement and keep your eyes from getting dry? I'm looking for something in a brown color because I want to keep it really natural. Thanks!

How to be okay with my race?

I am white and naturally have dark blonde hair and blue eyes. I know it probably sounds silly to most people but I dont find anything that comes with my race attractive. I dye my hair dark brown, i wear brown contact lenses as soon as I get up and I travel quite a bit and so always try and tan as much as I can (I have never used a sunbed but I know just being in the sun is damaging). I don't know how I got to dislike the natural parts of the way I look? and I sincerly apologise if anyone is offended by my question, it was not my intention at all!
I used to be ok with the way I looked when I was younger but since a couple of years ago, around 15 years old I have hated the lightness of my skin, hair and eyes and when I see latino girls I feel so jelous. I know theres no way of changing my race and hair dye and contacts are the only way to get like half way out.anyone else feel like they dont like their race?
I am sure this is all coming out all wrong but I hope none of this question causes offence or causes anyone to question their beauty.
I just feel hopeless when I think about how for the rest of my life I'll have to constantly make this effort to get away from my natural look. :/

Why do Iranians obsess of European features (blue eyes, pale skin)?

I know lost of you DEFENSIVE Iranians will start saying all Iranians are blonde blue eyed pale skin blah blah and start posting pictures and links of white people in Iran ahahah I find it hilarious how hard you try to prove while in reality the whole world knows that it's only a SMALL percentage of white people in Iran that have blue eyes. And most likely those are mixed with Europeans or white looking Jews at some point in their lineage.
So why try so hard? What's wrong with brown eyes and dark hair and even tanned skin? Isn't it beautiful too? I know Iranian men mostly prefer European women but even the Iranian women seem to obsess with European beauty by bleaching their skin, coloring hair and wearing colored lenses.In Italy and Spain they're dark because they mixed with people like Iranians Arabs and moors. Majority of afghans I've seen look like native Indians/americans. Yes I've seen beautiful pale eyes on them but who knows maybe their great grandma was of European descent. There's been tribes from Europe that migrated I places like north India. That doesn't make them pure. They're mixed. Just because you see a blonde blue eyed Iranian (common really? IT'S SO RARE. Admit. Don't lie)
So why is it that Iranians get so defensive and shows off. Like. They will post pictures of only white looking babies with blue eyes on their Facebook and the baby looks European and is not iranian.
My fiancé is Iranian and he agrees with me. Our kids will most likely look like him and his family (dark) ..I am Swedish.So people think he is Indian next to me.
I think Iranians should be proud of their brown eyes and not cover them up and always try to prove that they have blue eyes. Why? Are blue eyes better? why do you promote white/European beauty? I don't care about the last.
Aryans where probably dark. The reason Iranians have blak body hair is to protect their skin from the sun now because its a cold climate. Cold climate is what makes u have blue eyes and blonde bodyhair

Difference between lenses thickness?

I went to the doctor and she told me I have astigmatism and the diopters are 1 cylinder for my right eye and 3 cylinders for my left eye.
I want to buy a frame that looks kind of like this
image
My question is, will the difference in thickness be very big and obvious? My mother told me it will look weird and the left lense will be very thick, but then again, she tried fooling me before because she wanted me to buy some cheaper glasses :) so that's why I'm asking.Is it true? Also the lenses are polycarbonite.
My prescription isn't very obvious, here is what it says
O.D. -1.00 gl ax 90 degrees
O.S. +0.75 g
And PD 1.50 gl a 90 degrees
That is all it says
I want to know if it will be noticeable by others
Added (1). The glasses are for distance
Added (2). The prescription is very bad looking and doesn't have a table, I searched for some examples and they all had tables, this one doesn't. Also about the cylinders… I don't see it on the prescription either, but that is what she told me, and by PD I meant the distance between pupils. I won't order online

Are sunglasses from forever 21, h&m harmful to our eyes?

They are pretty cheap, compared to raybans and stuff.but are the lenses harmful to our eyes? it's ok to wear it on a sunny day right? I've been hearing from people that those are 'made in china' shades, and seeing thru those shades = seeing thru a plastic ruler because it has not UV protection.and it spoils our eyes? true?

I am disgusted by some girls on FB!

There is this girl who's 16 or 17. We study in the same school but are not close. She used to be so normal but starting from an year ago, she posted photos on FB. All of them were of herself. She'd put on huge contact lens and really heavy make-up and make "cute" poses. And she'd also post comments on her own photo, like "Do I look cute?". Of course I'm not just talking about her, there are lots of girls doing the same. I feel disgusted by them. Why do they want attention so much? I really will slap them in the face if I have the chance. What do you think about these people?

What are trivex lenses?

My eyes got more nearsighted and I'm getting new glasses with stronger lenses today or tomorrow.My new prescription is -9.50 and -10.25 (-1.50 more for each eye). Someone here (an optician, actually) suggested that I get Trivex lenses. How do thy differ from the ones I have now which are 1.67? Are they the right kind of lenses for my prescription? Thanks!
Added (1). The licensed optician who recommended them said they would be thicker but lighter and more comfortable. True or false?
