Prescription vs. Non-Prescription Colored Contact Lenses

Colored contact lenses are becoming increasingly popular among both young people and adults. They allow you to quickly and effectively change your eye color and create an original look. There are two basic types of colored lenses—prescription and non-prescription.

Prescription colored contact lenses are intended for those who need to correct their vision. Their main purpose is to correct refractive errors of the eye, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. However, in addition to vision correction, prescription colored contact lenses also have an aesthetic effect—they change eye color.

In contrast, non-prescription colored contact lenses serve only aesthetic purposes. They are suitable for those who do not have any refractive errors and simply want to change their eye color. These lenses have no prescription power and do not correct vision.

Both options are produced in a wide range of colors and shades, so there is truly something for everyone.

It is also important to mention that colored lenses, like regular contact lenses, require proper care and hygiene. They must be cleaned regularly and stored in a disinfecting solution. Before handling lenses, it is also essential to have clean hands.
