What are prescriptions colored contact lenses?!


Question: What are prescriptions colored contact lenses?
If I received colored contact lenses from “MyEyeDr” does that mean that the colored contact lenses are prescriptions?
I have gotten an eye exam and Contact Lens Evaluation and Fitting, level yesterday. Tomorrow I will be schooled on how to put on the colored contact lenses since this will be the first time I will be wearing contact lenses period, yet alone colored contact lenses. I'm getting the 6-months supply, fresh look colored contact lenses

The terminology is a little confusing for people, technically, in the US, ALL contacts need a prescription, even ones that have no corrective power, (only change eye color).

However, most people use the term "non-prescription color contacts" for ones that only change eye color, do not correct any vision problem and "prescription color contacts" for ones that both change eye color and correct for something.

I hope this is the explanation you are looking for



WORD of ADVISE.....VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

DO NOT BUY any COLORED or
any COSTUME CONTACT LENSES online!
PERIOD!!!!!!!!

The problem is contact lenses are NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL...
The QUALITY of any online contact lens company from or
any internet places HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE.....Unless through
your local eye doctor.
AND there is NO SUCH THING as a safe website for buying
contact lenses online...Unless through a certified optometrist.

You BEST and SAFEST option is to go to your local eye doctor
that deals with contact lenses and he can do
an eye exam to get the correct sized contact lenses to fit your eyes.

There are optometrists that can get these "colored contact lenses" for you.
In my local city I see eye doctors having signs in their windows for
these colored or costume contact lenses around Halloween time. (I guess
they want to make a few extra dollars during Halloween).
You just have to call around to the eye doctors and ask
about getting these ones.
These will cost more going through an eye doctor.
BUT THIS is the safest route.

IF You buy any of these online, you are asking for trouble. Like
having a CORNEA TRANSPLANT or spending time in the local hospital
in the optic eye ward.
In a lot of states it is illegal to get contact lenses of any type without
going through a certified eye doctor.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EVEN THINK
of BUYING any TYPE of CONTACT LENS ONLINE.
