I saw some absolutely beautiful colored eye contacts on the internet. And I was wondering, can I just walk up to my doctor and ask him if he can prescribe me colored contacts? Can I just get them if I want them?

Yes. You can, but I would get an eye exam to be sure there is no physiological reason that contact's could possibly harm your particular eyes. Some people have scaring on the surface of the eye that if irritated can lead to cataracts or infections. Not a professional opion just common sense.

I think you can get them without a prescription.
Just a plain lense.
Like the people who want glasses, but don't need them, it's a regular glass, like looking out a window.
Next time you're at the eye doctor, or at a place that sells them, ask someone who works there just to make sure.

Your eyes need to be measured by the eye guy, optomotrist, but if what yo mean is do you have to have bad vision to get contacts, no, yo don't, once you have your measurments you can order a pair for every day of the week!! They are just cosmetic and not correctional, no problem...I love em!!!!!

you have to get an eye exam first and then see if your eye doctor carries the brand of colored contacts that you want.

I reckon you don't need a medical prescription if you're just gonna wear them for style reasons.
Anyway, if I were you, I wouldn't buy them. It is very obvious when they are fake and natural eyes always look better.

You have to be fitted. You can get them even if you don't need a prescription. Go to any eyeglass place or optician. Search online for coupons first!

Really, don't do it. It is so obvious when someone has colored contacts in.

you will need to have them fitted regardless of them being prescription or not... everyone has different size eye balls with different curvatures and you need the size and curve that is right for you eyes...
