Many of us would love to change the color of our eyes, but without contacts, this is impossible. Is there a way to get contact lenses without a prescription? The answer is yes! Long thought to be only for those with eye sight deterioration, one can now purchase colored contact lenses without a prescription. One can find everything from the regular eye colors to lenses designed for Halloween with flames, lightning bolts, or even completely white or black out lenses.
Now, there are three types of lenses that one can purchase: semi-transparent and opaque lenses. Light-color eyes can use both, while for the darker eyes, opaque is the best because the color won’t show through the lenses. The last type of contact lens is the costume contacts which are mainly used during Halloween. These lenses can be used by anyone.
However, there is some bad news. Aside from the costume contacts, one can’t buy non-prescription contact lenses from U.S. or U.K. companies- especially online. You can buy them from a foreign country, but it is not recommended. Any “cheap non-prescription contacts” site is probably a scam, and could steal your information and your money. Still, it isn’t breaking the law for you to purchase the non-prescription contacts, but if the company is based in the U.S. or U.K., they could suffer consequences.
I wouldn’t recommend buying lenses without a prescription, anyway. Even if a person has perfect vision, there still reasons to go to your doctor to get a prescription for their eyes. First, if it isn’t prescribed it may not fit properly, which could cause eye irritation and could rub the cornea. This can cause infection or worse- blindness. Second, non-prescription lenses are less expensive, therefore, the quality is lower. This causes them to tear easily and oxygen can enter the eyes easier, which will dry out your eyes and the contacts.
If one decides to wear contacts without a prescription, there are several steps they can take to keep their eyes healthy and irritation free. First, if it irritates their eyes from the moment they insert them, take them out immediately. The contacts may not fit properly or they could be allergic. Second, only wear them for a few hours at a time. If worn much longer, it can cause eye damage because they aren’t prescribed for your eyes. Third, if particles fall in their eye, they should remove the lens immediately and flush the lens and their eye. Also, make sure not to get makeup, lotions, or creams in or around the eyes. Fourth, once the lenses are removed, clean them with the solution provided.
Finally, make sure to wash the eyes with clean water before and after wearing the lenses – this lessens the risk of infection.
In summary, if you’re looking for colored contacts without prescription, then you will need to see an optometrist if you are planning on buying them from a retailer in the US, UK or Canada. The appointment is easy to get and getting your eyes checked out is a good thing to do from time to time.
