What are prescription coloured contact lenses?

Prescription coloured contact lenses are coloured contacts designed to not only offer visual correction, but to temporarily change your eye colour. Prescription coloured lenses offer correction for myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (long-sightedness). They help to achieve clear and crisp vision, all the while offering that stylish eye colour update you're after.

Which types of prescription coloured contact lenses are there?

Ideal for anyone requiring visual correction, prescription coloured contact lenses can suit a wide range of cosmetic needs. Whether you're looking for a daily eye colour change from your lenses, or you want a pair for your next night out or fancy dress party, you'll find exactly the set for you.

We stock monthly and daily prescription coloured contact lenses, meaning you can find the lenses to suit your everyday or occasional needs.

In terms of style, you can achieve your desired look with our range of prescription coloured contact lenses. We can cater for you, whether you're after an opaque coloured lens for a dramatic and vibrant eye colour update, or enhancement coloured contacts for a subtle and natural-looking effect.

Why buy prescription coloured lenses?

Prescription coloured lenses are for contact lens wearers after a stylish eye colour update and to correct myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness).

It is essential to note that prescription coloured contact lenses are a medical product, and you should always buy your coloured lenses from a reputable retailer, supervised by a registered optician. Buying coloured contact lenses from a fancy-dress shop may not be safe as they don’t follow the same safety standards as those conducted by opticians.

How to buy prescription coloured contact lenses

You should always have an up-to-date prescription and speak with your optician before trying out new lenses. This way you can be sure that the lenses you're after are suitable for your eyes to wear.

While results differ depending on your eyes' natural colour, your hair colour and skin tone, you should bear in mind that darker eyes generally require a more vibrant colour change, while lighter eyes are more easily changed by colour lenses.
