These are offered by some online retailers so if you are thinking of buying some, here are some things to consider to make sure you don’t end up with eyes that look crazy all the time:</p><p>Don't buy your contact lenses from ‘just anywhere’. Look out for a well-known supplier and a brand you’re familiar with and read a few brand reviews before you buy anything.</p><p>Never share your lenses or wear lenses someone else has worn before. Even if they have been cleaned.</p><a class="card__button btn_tertiary" href="/contact-lenses/buyers-guide/tips#care"><span class="btn_tertiary__label">How to care for contacts</span></a></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col"><h2 class="h4">Do I need a prescription?</h2><p>All coloured contact lenses, including non-correcting (plano cosmetic) lenses, are optical appliances and require a prescription. Air Optix Colours can be purchased with a valid prescription for easyvision monthly Irisian or Air Optix Aqua lenses. If you want to try a different lens type, speak to your local store for advice.</p><a class="card__button btn_tertiary" href="/stores"><span class="btn_tertiary__label">Book an appointment</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ss-stripe bg-light_grey"><div class="container--skinny"><div class="row"><div class="col"><h2 class="h4 mb-4">Most importantly</h2><p>If you notice redness, discomfort, pain, watering eyes or anything else that makes you concerned, take the lenses out and keep them out. If things don’t get better once you've got the lenses out and you require eye care, then contact your optometrist or visit Accident and Emergency if its outside business hours.</p></div></div></div></div></div>
