Colour Contact

Cosmetic colored contacts are a perfect way to express yourself for a holiday like Halloween, special occasions or just for fun. These type of contact lenses come in an array of colors from black to red and green to purple. Some people really enjoy changing their eye color even if they have 20/20 vision and do not need an eye prescription. Although cosmetic colored lenses can be purchased by vision impaired consumers that have a prescription, they can also be purchased without a prescription by people that do not have vision problems. This is a perfect way to express your own personal fashion sense with a prescription or for those that do not need help with their vision.

The prescription laws for dispensing cosmetic colored contact lenses in the United States and the United Kingdom are determined by qualified eye care practitioners. Most people in the U.S. and U.K. will seek the professional advice of an optometrist if they are in need of a vision test to determine if they require a prescription for lenses. During the eye examination a practitioner will decide if a patient is able to wear cosmetic contact lenses by evaluating their corneal health, allergies, and dry eyes. Once the practitioner determines that your eyes are in good health to be able to wear contact lenses, they will then perform a series of tests to determine the proper fitting for contact lenses. The fitting process will evaluate the proper curve and size of your eye so that the doctor will be able to notify you of the correct lenses that will be comfortable for you to wear.

After properly fitting your eyes for the correct lenses, the practitioner will then decide which wear time of contacts is best for you. The wear time comes in a variety of choices. The first type would be the Daily Wear, which is removed before you go to sleep. The next would be Extended Wear, and this type would allow you to wear the contact for an extended period of time overnight for a usual time frame of six or more nights. Some of these will permit you to wear the contacts nightly of up to thirty nights, and this type of contacts are often known as Continuous Wear. The next step that is usually performed during the fitting process is that the practitioner will go over how long to wear your contacts and how to properly clean them. Once the doctor is satisfied that the contact lenses are comfortable, fitting properly, your vision is good and your eyes are in good health, the final prescription will then be written to you. Sometimes the fitting process could take up to three to four visits before the final prescription is dispensed due to some practitioners will request that you wear the contacts for a couple of weeks and make sure that on each visit your contacts are still fitting properly.
