How to Get Non Prescription Colored Contacts

in Special Effect Contact Lenses

Making the decision to pick up a set of non corrective colored contacts is an incredible fashion statement. These contact lenses come in all different designs and styles, ranging from completely whited out eyes, to cats eyes, even 8ball pool balls for your pupils. The designs get crazy with these types of lenses, because there doesn’t have to be a prescription put on the lens. This means anyone can get their hands on a set, so you can have the same types of eyes that you couldn’t keep yours off of last night. You remember those sharks eyes you kept staring at? Yep, non prescription colored contacts.

The prices on the colored contact lenses typically range from around $50 all the way up to $1000 for the models that have a prescription. You can find a set of lenses just about anywhere, your mall, some gas stations even, and of course, your optometrist. Your best bet by far is going to be stopping in your eye doctor’s office to see the samples that they have in stock. If they don’t have the color or design you are looking for, simply go on the Web and find out what the model or type of lens you are looking for is called. Once you have this, go back to the eye doctor with the information.

If your original optometrist can’t get you non-prescription colored contact lenses then don’t be afraid to go back home and start calling around. Getting a good deal on a set of non prescription lenses isn’t that hard really, as most towns and cities are full of eye doctors. If you end up not being able to find the style you want at all, check out the Internet. But before you make your purchase, you have to know a few things to avoid.

The first thing I have to tell you to completely stay away from are websites that aren’t related to optometry. All too often people sell colored contact lenses as novelty items, and this means that there has been poor quality put into the lens. shark-eyes-contactsGetting a cheap pair of colored contacts are going to leave your eyes dry and they will become incredibly itchy. The best saline solutions or rewetting drops won’t fix this, because it is a problem that comes along with purchasing cheap non prescription color contacts.

And you may even want to consider going to the eye doctor if you are going to be wearing these colored contacts for an extended amount of time. The doctor can get you the right fit since not everyone’s eyes are shaped the same. Doing this will make them feel more comfortable and will be better for your eyes.

If I were asked, “Is there a big difference between 8.3 and 8.6 base curve in contact lenses?” I would say:

The base curve measurement is one that your eye doctor measures. Everyone’s eyes are a bit differently shaped, so this is an important measurement. If it’s not correct, then you could have some problems – like with how moist your eyes are and how much oxygen is being passed through or around them. The wrong measurement here could even result in an eye infection. You’re best off staying with what measurement you were given and don’t vary from it. If you want a second opinion on what your base curve should be, then go to a different eye doctor or optometrist and see what measurement they take.

I hope this helps.
