Colored contacts allow you to change your eye color[3] in ways that are subtle, bold or anywhere in between. A prescription is required for colored contact lenses whether or not you need vision correction. This is because all contact lenses are considered medical devices and have the potential to harm your eyes if they are not properly fitted, worn and maintained.

This is a little confusing, because people often use the terms prescription colored contacts and non-prescription colored contact lenses.

When these terms are used, this is whats being described:

Prescription colored contacts change your eye color and also correct myopia[4] (nearsightedness), hyperopia[5] (farsightedness) or astigmatism[6].
