Default Where can I buy colored contacts for near-sighted people?

Colored contacts: Which is the best brand? Where can I find it? How much does it usually cost? It'd be very cool if some pictures were provided! (don't need to but yea....)
So I do I need another prescription for colored contacts? I can't use the one I already have?

I don't wish to rain on your parade...but a few years ago I heard the colored contacts aren't good for the eyes...so I suggest you do a lot of research on if that injurs the eye before you invest.

You can use the script that you have. As long as it's current. Acuvue 2 Colors are also available, and there are also Focus Colors. Your eye doctor should have everything you need , as far as trial lens to let you see the different colors. If you have a current Script, you'll have to be fitted for contacts, not sure what that costs, varies from office to office, and a follow up visit. As soon as they know which is the best on for you, which ones fit the best, they'll order them for you.

You just couldn't take your prescription and go buy contacts from somewhere, cause you dont know what Base Curve you need. There are 8.3 base curves and 8.6 , as well as 8.7. That's one of the things the Doc. does when he fits your for CL's.

Hope this helped.
