Dailies Contact Lenses

Daily disposable coloured contact lenses?

Does anyone know if there are any good disposable coloured lenses available anywhere? The only ones I can find are the Freshlook 1 Day Colours, but these only come in 4 colour choices, and the colours are very very faint - they don't make a big lot of difference to be honest. Any other ones I've seen are monthly disposable, and although there's a lot more choice there and the colours seem to be a lot stronger, I don't wear my contacts often enough to make these worth while. I only wear them once in a while, so the 1 day disposables are definitely the ones to go for, for me. When you open the monthly ones, you have to throw them out after 30 days, so it's not worth me spending the money on them. Any suggestions really appreciated. I've done extensive searching on the internet, but can't find any others anywhere. For info, I'm in the UK, and would prefer lenses that can be done with a prescription - but if there are non-prescription daily disposables out there then I'd be happy with them too. Many thanks.

1. I'm horrible with my contacts--they're supposed to be two week lenses but I'll wear them for months. Have done so for about nine years now. Since you only wear contacts occasionally, it would probably be fine to keep them for longer than 30 days so long as you're storing them properly. They say 30 days because of protein build up, mostly, so if you're not wearing them often they'll last quite a bit longer. Different ophthalmologists will tell you different things, though. Have you discussed it with yours?
