Acuvue 2 Colours have the same lens design as Acuvue 2 brand and are manufactured to the same specifications. If you wear Acuvue 2 clear lenses, chances are you'll find that Acuvue 2 Colours have the same fit and comfort.

The lens color is embedded in the lens material instead of sitting on top, which keeps the lens material, and not the pigment, in contact with the surface of your eye. The opaque lenses for dark eyes consist of a solid pigment area and a clear area over the pupil hole (looks like a donut). The enhancer lenses for light eyes consist of a full circle of uniform transparent pigment (no pattern). The pigment covers the pupil hole area as well as the iris area which makes the color change between the two look very natural. Even though the pigment covers the pupil hole, your ability to see or to perceive colors accurately are not affected.

How to Get a Prescription for Colored Contacts

In the United States, a prescription is required for colored contacts under the Federal Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act. Even for colored lenses without any vision correction (cosmetic only), a prescription is mandatory in the U.S.

If you are from Canada or elsewhere, you may not be subject to the same consumer laws. However, we strongly suggest that you be fitted for color contacts by an eye care practitioner.

In cases where the manufacturer or supplier is not from the U.S. you may not be required to provide prescription information. However, you should still see an eye doctor and be properly fitted for contact lenses.
