Non-Prescription Contact Lenses

A large number of people who want to change their eye color turn to colored contact lenses. Colored contact lenses are available with and without a vision correction prescription and can either enhance or alter a person’s eye color.

Non-prescription, or plano, colored lenses come in a variety of brands and colors. Freshlook, Acuvue 2 Colors, and Durasoft Colors are the companies in the colored lens market. To get a colored lens without any corrective powers, it is important to specify “0” as the power. In addition to the brand name options, there is a large number of non-branded non-prescription colored lenses available online.

While this may seem like an attractive option for someone with blue eyes who wants to make his or her eyes bluer, green, or brown, using colored lenses exposes a person with perfect vision to all of the risks of contact lenses. These risks include a number of potentially serious eye infections. In addition, the lenses themselves might be bad for a person’s eyes.

While the lenses can cause problems, they must be stored in a solution. Recently, a number of contact solutions have been shown not to kill bacteria and other irritants adequately. While it may seem like a great idea to change eye color, it’s really an unsafe idea that should not be pursued unless the wearer is prepared to spend the time and money it takes to care for their non-prescription lenses.
