Coloured Contact Lenses

If you want to buy coloured contact lenses and require visual correction, you’ll need a valid prescription. For power/plano (0.00) coloured contact lenses, you won’t need to enter the details of your prescription, however, you should still have one.

There are no set rules for choosing coloured contact lenses; it depends on what look you want to achieve. For a subtle, natural look, go with a visibility/enhancement tint. On the other hand, if you want a more dramatic change, you’ll need an opaque lens – especially if your natural eye colour is dark.

Coloured contact lenses are safe to wear, provided you follow your optician’s advice. You should never purchase coloured contact lenses from an unreputable retailer, as these may not meet industry standards.

Yes, all contact lenses have an expiration date. This is usually between one and four years from the date of manufacture (even if they are unopened). The expiry date can be found on the box and the aluminium fold of the blister. Never wear expired contact lenses.
