Coloured contact lenses have become very popular in recent years, particularly those which are purely cosmetic. By this we mean that they have zero strength, that is, they are not designed to correct vision. Such lenses are also called ‘plano’.
Prescription coloured contact lenses are like traditional lenses for correcting vision and cosmetic lenses rolled into one. You get to experiment with changing your eye colour whilst still being able to see.
Finding anything at all online these days is usually very easy. If you want something then someone, somewhere, will sell you it. Strangely enough, buying something as common place as a contact lens online doesn’t seem to be as easy as you might imagine.
This is not actually as surprising as it first seems. Many people want to buy contact lenses without a prescription, and by this we don’t mean plano contacts, we mean prescription contact lenses without a prescription. That sounds confusing but it just means buying lenses for vision correction without having an up to date prescription.
How easy you will find buying coloured prescription lenses online will depend on whether or not you have a prescription. You are in a better position than most people who just want to buy cosmetic lenses because your lenses, in theory, do have a prescription. The only way you can know what strength lenses you need is by having a sight test and this will give you the prescription you need.
As long as you prescription is up to date you will find it easy to buy coloured contacts online. If you don’t have a current prescription then you are in the same position as everyone else wanting to buy lenses without one.
In fact, you are in a worse position, because it is still possible to buy zero strength cosmetic lenses without a prescription from Canada. If you need sight correcting lenses then there is no alternative. Make sure you have a current prescription.
