Step 1
Visit your local optometrist for an eye exam. Whether you have used contacts in the past or have never needed glasses, it is important that you get a checkup before wearing the lenses. While rare, some people have conditions that will prevent them from being able to wear contacts, so it is important that you speak to a doctor before spending the money. Additionally, if you need a prescription, now is the time to get it updated.

Step 2
Ask your optometrist about your options for purple contacts. Most optometrists offices will have catalogs with every type of contact lens you can imagine. Not only can you select a pair of purple contacts, you can choose from a variety of purple shades. Ordering directly through your optometrist is the best option if you need corrective lenses, as they will ensure the correct strength.
-
Step 3
Order your purple contacts directly off of the Internet if no prescription is required and your doctor has told you that you can wear contacts without problems. There are a number of companies that sell colored contacts online and often you can purchase lenses which are less expensive than those found at your optometrists office.

Step 4
Get a pair of special effect purple lenses, available in cat eyes, frogs eyes and more. These special colored lenses are often a bit more expensive, but can be the perfect touch to your Halloween costume. You can find special effect lenses in costume shops or online.
