I dont need contacts but I was wondering if you can buy over the counter type color contacts. I remember a few years ago seeing something about Acuvue (sp??) color contacts but cannot find them anywhere. If so has anyone ever used them and did they work on dark brown eyes? I am going to a late Halloween party tonight and it would go great with what Im wearing. Nothing crazy just normal colors like blue green and possibly purple?? Do they come with all those colors? And where can I find something like this if available? If you can answer any of this it will be appreciated... Thanks

No over-the-counters. You have to by law see an eye doctor to get an Rx for non prescription contacts- and the main reason is, if you by chance needed a little correction, you could get it Rx'ed right in. You might try www.cibavision.com and or www.coopervision.com for color contacts to check out.
The other reason it is the law, a Doc I used to work with had a true story of a young gal about 16 that bought her contacts (black maket) just to have a new color for her eyes- the whole thing backfired- she was NOT a candidate for that fit of lens, and subsequently lost 1 eye, and nearly went blind in the other. Do the right thing.

No, you have to have a rx from an eye doctor. This is sticking somethin in your eye. There is proper fit and eye health to be considered.
I would be very cautious to any practitioner who would dispense contacts to you without a prescription. What if you got an eye infection? Please don't risk your sight for a little vanity. Go to the mall, there are usually eye doctors in places like lenscrafters that work on Saturdays. You might be able to get some for tonight. Contacts require a "break in" period to get your eyes used to them, so be sure to bring along your case and a little cl solution to the party in case you want to take them out.
What is you costume? Have fun!

I used to always buy the sample ones for 20 bucks. They last for a good two months. But now I have permanent blue eyes after having cosmetic surgery. I now have real looking blue eyes. The procedure can be found on newcoloriris.com

i think of it rather is secure in case you purchase them from a fabulous corporation such with the aid of fact the well being care expert's place of work or on line. the time-honored isn't that good at some department shops or bazaar places. To be secure, you should persist with good eye well being approaches. Wash your arms till now touching your eyes, throw away defective lenses that worsen your eyes and alter the answer which you shop them in. seek for scientific interest in case you improve ingenious and prescient alterations and/or problems that persist over 2 days.

You sure can, go see your optometrist. I got cat-eye contacts and they're pretty sweet. They do have normal ones too.
