While most major contact lens manufacturers make opaque lenses that completely mask the natural eye color, remember, what looks great on a friend may look completely different on you, so be prepared to try a few brands and colors before you find the perfect look.

These recommendations gleaned from user experiences on the net as well as manufacturers’ claims. Note that the color charts provided by manufacturers often aren’t always accurate and should be considered as a guide only.

How to Get a Prescription for Blue Colored Contacts

Like regular or clear contact lenses, a prescription is required for colored contacts in the United States under the Federal Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act. 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.

If a non-U.S. manufacturer or retailer does not require a prescription from you, you should still get an eye exam and be properly fitted for contact lenses. Even if you want colored lenses just for the cosmetic effect, a prescription is mandatory in the U.S.

Please note: contact lenses, even if worn for cosmetic reasons, are medical devices that should be worn under the prescription, direction, and supervision of an eye care professional.
