Non-prescription Colored Contacts?
February 7, 2010 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I was thinking about trying a pair of colored non-prescription contact lenses but…i dont see how they work. I know at the eye doctor you have to be fitted for contacts, I know that everyone’s eyes are shaped differently…some have an astigmatism…and so on. How can you order a pair that just comes made in one shape…and fit perfectly?
I was just wondering if anyone had any helpful tips from personal experience. I have green eyes (on the darker side) and I just thought it would be fun to get some to try out. I was gonna order some on online from hollywoodcolorcontacts.com but I emailed them a few questions that I had…and they wont email me back. I love my eye color-I just wanted to try ‘em since I always see adds for them online.
I have never worn contacts before and I have glasses that i wear only when i need to see long distances.
Any help or tips would be great!
Thank you!

The opthalmologist will perform several tests to determine the shape of your cornea and whether or not you would be a suitable candidate for contact lenses.
They require learning about proper care of both the lenses and your eyes to prevent diseases or corneal abrasions from occurring.
without a professional examination, you can’t determine which kind of lenses will best suit your eye’s shape and condition.
Don’t order ‘novelty lenses’ online!! They can cause all sorts of problems. Reputable OD’s and MD’s can help you get something suitable if you are willing to pay the money for the exam and the lenses.
If you are already wearing glasses, they may simply perform an exam to adjust for using daily wear or extened wear contact lenses instead of glasses.
I strongly suggest you get professional advice when choosing contact lenses. They’ll find the right fit for you and you’ll be guaranteed to get a product that won’t damage your eyes.
