Go to an eye doctor to get them.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]

Yes off course you can get coloured contacts without prescription i've got green contact lenses but I need glasses and I didn't want to wear them no longer so I went for these. The monthly ones are more cheaper than the yearly ones so all places have different prices so you will need to do some research on that
ncblondie answered Wednesday November 16 2005, 12:19 am: You can get color contacts. However, there is a chance of infection. I would suggest calling an eye doctor for a consultation. Contacts fit best when they're specifically sized to fit your eyes. Also, if you buy through the eye doctor, you get a better quality contact. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
MFS answered Tuesday November 15 2005, 11:17 pm: non-prescription cosmetic contacs are linked to eye infections and permanent eye damage. There is currently proposed legislature to make them no longer for sale over-the-counter due to many injuries, including people losing their sight. At the moment, these things can be purchased even at gas stations - but the quality of the material is poor, and the potential clealiness of the lenses should be held suspect. There are no formal regulations on the manufacture of cosmetic contact lenses.
The new law will make them fall under the jusrisdiction of the FDA and regulate their manufacture and sale as not a cosmetic device, but as a medical device. This will make buying fake colored lenses more difficult, but will ensure safety.
So, what am I saying? That right now, these things are sold everywhere, but that you should use great caution when considering using them. There is a risk involved that most people seem oblivious to, until they really hurt themselves or get an eye infection. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
