Colored Contacts Without Prescription
Non prescription colored contacts (also called non corrective colored contacts) are contact lenses used just for cosmetic purposes. You can use them to change the color of your eyes and they have no vision correction. You put them in, take them out and care for them just like normal contacts and they’re fun to wear because you get to change your look.
Cosmetic Colored Contacts, No Prescription / No Rx
In order to get cosmetic colored contacts without a prescription, you should know a few things. First, you will need to see an optometrist and get an eye exam since you will need to get a prescription, by law, in order to get colored contacts. This isn’t a bad thing. You get your eyes checked in an exam that’s less than a half hour and to save money, you can easily go to an optical department in a department store.
If you do happen to need some vision correction, then it’ll be good you found out and it could also even save you money. I’ll explain that later. With the eye exam you get, the eye doctor will actually measure your eyes so that you get the right numbers for the base curve of your eye. This ensures that the cosmetic colored contacts fit your eyes well, helping to prevent dryness and infections.
Cheap Cosmetic Colored Contacts
You should not order cosmetic colored contacts from a retail that lets you order them without a prescription. If they’re doing that, which is illegal in the US, Canada and the UK, then they might also not be carrying reputable brands of non corrective colored contacts. If the paint used to color the lens has lead or some other poisonous material in it, then it could get into your eye and cause harm that cannot be fixed. You need to be really careful with contacts and make sure you always buy a name brand since name brands use quality materials that are FDA approved.
Types of Colored Contact Lenses / Natural Colored Contacts Without Prescription
There are two main types of colored contacts and which kind you’ll get will depend on what color your eyes already are. If you have light colored eyes, then you can use enhancement colors of contacts, which are also called natural colored contacts. These let some of your natural eye color show through, which can create some very nice looking color combinations. You can try to just enhance your eye color or introduce a new color into them, making them even more unique. You’ll get noticed for sure.
Colored Contacts for Dark Eyes
If you have dark colored eyes, then the kind of colored contact lens you will look at are called opaque lenses. What these do is completely cover the natural color of your eye. You can then change the color to whatever you want.
If you do use opaque contact lenses, then you should know a few things that could become small issues. First, the clear part for your pupil is a fixed size. So if you are in a darker place and the pupils of your eyes get larger to bring in more light, then they will be larger than the the clear part of the opaque lens. It may be harder to see at night or in dark places. Also, sometimes the contact lens will move around on your eye, so that could affect your vision. It’s not a huge problem but still could be an issue. This is a reason why you want to make sure you see an eye doctor and get contacts fitted correctly for your eyes. Also getting colored contact lens samples by mail for free will help you find the best brand.
If you get either enhancement or opaque colored contacts without prescription, you will see how they will change the color of your eyes and change your appearance. People always look at other people’s eyes to show that they’re paying attention to them, so it’s almost impossible that someone won’t notice your eye color.

Other Ways to Save Money on Contacts
If you get your appointment for cosmetic colored contacts and find out that you could use some vision correction, then you could actually save some money. Many employers offer what is called a Flex Savings Account (FSA) or with your insurance, a Health Savings Account (HSA). With these accounts, you can put away money that’s pre-tax and use it for health related expenses. Doing this saves you 25% or more on top of any discount that your health insurance may provide.
