Where can you buy 'Halloween Contacts' without a prescription?
how do you buy all those wild contacts if you don't need glasses. Anywhere online? Any stores?
Answers:
They are available through a bunch of websites BUT you still need to have a prescription for them, even if you don't need corrective lenses. You will still need to have an eye exam and contact lens fitting because contact lenses come in many different base curves and diameters. The are not a "one size fits all" type of accessory. The are a medical device and they are regulated by the FDA because of that. So, even without needing corrective lenses, you would need a prescription for Plano lenses (non-prescription) Poorly fitting contact lenses can lead to heaps of problems so it is important that you see your eye doctor to make sure you get the right curve and diameter for YOUR eyes.
The Catch 22 about ordering your contacts online to get them cheaper, is that the doctor will not release a prescription to you to have filled elsewhere until he has SEEN the actual contacts on your eyes to ensure they are fitting properly. Unfortunately, this means that you'll have to buy contacts through your doctor's office before they will be comfortable releasing the info for you to have filled some place else. A prescription for contacts isn't considered final until they have checked the fit of the lenses on you, and so you will need lenses for them do that. And online website that sell contacts USUALLY won't guarantee a pair of contacts if you need to return them due to the fact that the doctor had to refit them. Also, when you're ordering online or over the phone, the company that you're ordering from must verify your prescription with your doctor to make sure that its correct and valid and if the doctor's office will not verify it because they have not verified the final the prescription on you, then they will not be able to complete your order. This is to ensure that people are not filling their prescriptions with different lenses other than what they were fit with, and to make sure that people aren't trying to have expired prescriptions refilled.
I'm sure 1800-Contacts has Wild Eyes, those are the really popular ones. Just do a Google search for contact lenses online. But you WILL need a prescription.
