Similar to prescription contacts, non-prescription colored contacts are soft lenses made from water-absorbing plastic. They stay soft, retain moisture, and allow oxygen to flow to your eyes for comfort.

However, these lenses serve a cosmetic purpose and do not correct vision. That's why they are also called Plano or zero-power contacts.

The difference is that non prescription colored contact lenses are used for cosmetic purposes, not to correct vision. In contrast, prescription contacts change eye color while also addressing vision issues.

Whether you opt for prescription or non-prescription colored contacts, it's essential to obtain a prescription from an optometrist to ensure a proper fit. Wearing ill-fitting lenses can lead to discomfort and increase the risk of more severe problems like corneal infections or scratches.

Non prescription colored contacts do not have prescription power. They are designed solely for cosmetic purposes to change the appearance of your eyes, not to correct vision.

People use non-prescription colored contact lenses to change their eye color for various occasions, like Halloween, cosplay, or photoshoots.

These lenses come in a wide range of colors, including traditional shades like brown, blue, and green, as well as novelty colors such as white, purple, and red, allowing individuals to express their creativity and style.

Yes, it is fine to wear non prescription colored contacts if you have perfect vision. However, it is advisable to obtain a "Plano" prescription, which indicates no vision correction, to ensure a proper fit and comfort when wearing these lenses.

Wearing colored contacts non prescription that are not properly fitted and sized for your eyes can potentially harm your eyes, such as soreness, redness, and sensitivity to light.

We, therefore, recommend you have your vision checked before getting lenses to ensure a perfect fit and to follow the usage instructions for proper hygiene and eye safety.

Yes, you can wear non-prescription colored contacts every day, but several factors, including your eye health, wear time, lens type, and proper hygiene, play a role in determining whether it's suitable for you.

If you experience discomfort or irritation, it's advisable to give your eyes a break and consult with an eye care professional.

The duration varies based on the type of your colored non prescription contacts.

• Daily contact lenses: These lenses are designed for one-time use. You wear them once and then dispose of them.
• Monthly contact lenses: These lenses are reusable for one month. You can wear them daily for up to a month, provided they are properly cleaned and stored.
• Yearly contact lenses: These lenses can be worn for one year, as long as they are stored and handled correctly. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance are essential.

To ensure the longevity of your lenses, consider investing in a sealable and protective contact lens case for proper care and maintenance.

If you're wondering about wearing colored non prescription contacts over your regular ones, the answer is a firm NO. Contact lenses aren't meant to be layered and doing so can pose serious risks like eye infections and damage.
