I currently don't need contacts but I want color contacts. I can't go to like "Lenscrafter" or anything because they say you need a presp. but I don't have one, because I don't need contacts. Where would I go to get contacts for myself? (Color ones, liek green or blue or purple or whatever)

Under the law you need a prescription. This is true even if your lenses don't have any vision correction in them (called "plano" lenses) and are used solely for cosmetic purposes.

The FDA has issued a consumer alert regarding such lenses, saying that they "present significant risks of blindness and other eye injury if they are distributed without a prescription or without proper fitting by a qualified eye care professional."

So basically if you want color contact lenses you need a contact lens fitting done by an eye doctor.... this is the only safe and legal way to obtain any contact lens..... remember all contact lenses are regulated by the FDA as a medical device!

Better be thankful that you don't need contacts. They can be irritating to the eye. So, don't go in for an unnecessary trouble for the sake of fashion.

Your best bet is to try online.

Find a website that is known.

Dont do ebay!

And dont just get them from someone else, they could cause serious infections that could damage your eyes permenantly.
