Contact
lenses with no prescription
 Many
people search online for contact lenses with no
prescription needed. Technically such thing doesn’t
exist. According to the law, contact lenses are medical
devices and selling contact lenses without prescription
is illegal in USA, UK and Canada. Contact lens with no
prescription are not easy to find.
Only non US or UK based companies can get away with selling
non-prescription contact lenses online. But this raises
another question: would you trust them your credit card
number? Where is the guarantee that if you buy discount
contact lenses, they will ever arrive?
Can I get colored contacts with no prescription?
Some people believe that if they have a perfect
20/20 vision they can order colored
contacts with no prescription. But even if you don’t
need vision correction, most color contact lenses offer different
base curve – the parameter only your eye doctor can
measure. Also it is best to have your eyes checked and have
your color lenses fitted anyway.
So you need a prescription even to get non-prescription
colored contacts.
If I order contact lenses without a prescription
do I break the law?
No, ordering contact lenses without a prescription
isn’t a good idea, but you don’t break any laws
by doing so. The company which sells you non-prescription
contact lenses might break the law if it is based in Canada
or USA, but this isn’t your concern, is it?
Where can I find cheap non-prescription contact
lenses?
As I mentioned, online companies aren’t
supposed to sell cheap
non-prescription contact lenses. But some companies trust
you to have your prescription and don’t request to fax
a copy of it.
