I want to talk to you all about colored contact lenses, and how to attain them, and who can wear them. Colored contact lenses are available for everybody who has light colored eye, medium colored eyes, to dark colored eyes. You can enhance your color, you can darken your color, and you can just change it completely if you want to. However, one of the, again, main misnomers, is that I don't have a prescription but I do want to wear colored contact lenses so can I just pick them up? Whenever you want to wear a contact lens, and a contact lens is a medical device, you have to go to your Optometrist office and get a prescription for them. That means having an examination and a contact lens fitting. They are not over the counter, here, in the United States, so you have to have that prescription that says that you can wear Fresh Look. They are a bigger size of contact lens because they're meant to cover up the entire colored part of your eye. So, they may not be comfortable for everybody and they only come in that one size. So, just make sure that your Optometrist says that you can wear the contact lens and make sure your comfortable with them before you decide to purchase.
