Colored Contact Lenses Without Prescription

Colored contact lenses have opened up a whole new world of fashion possibilities and have brought contact lenses to people who have never needed to visit an optician and who have never needed to wear glasses.

Colored contacts are also available in sight-correcting strengths for people who would otherwise wear glasses or normal contact lenses, and such people, of course, are quite used to having to produce a prescription to get their lenses.

If you are one of those who are wearing colored lenses as a fashion accessory then you may have been surprised to find that you’ve been asked for a prescription. If you think about it, this shouldn’t be so surprising. You’re putting something onto the surface of your eye, a very delicate and essentially irreplacable organ. The only way you can know if your eyes are suitable for contacts is to have had them checked by an optician. The optician will also be able to tell you what size lens you need and reccomend a suitable brand.

If you search the internet you will find that you can get colored contacts without prescription. Despite this availability, in many countries it is not actually permitted to sell such lenses without seeing an up to date prescription. The UK and the USA both require the seller to see evidence of a current contact lens prescrition.

One country where you can buy colored lenses without prescription is Canada. The current situation in Canada is that cosmetic lenses are not, at the moment, classed as medical devices and they are available without prescription.
