Frequently Asked Questions About Freshlook Colorblends

Do I need a prescription?

Yes! In the United States you must have a prescription for color contacts. By law, color contacts are considered medical devices (even if only worn for cosmetic reasons), and must be prescribed by an eye care professional. Even if you have perfect vision and don’t wear contacts or glasses normally, you must get an eye exam and be fitted properly for contact lenses. By law, your eye care professional must provide you with a copy of your prescription. When purchasing contacts online or at a retail store, the merchant must validate your prescription before delivering you your contacts.

But I want Colorblends for fun (cosmetic reasons). I don't need them to see. Do I still need a prescription?

Yes, you still need a prescription. It's the law! (see above). The prescription powers for colored lenses that do not have vision correction would look like this: 0.00

To get a prescription for color contacts, you must see an eye care professional such as an optometrist or ophthalmologist. You will receive an eye exam and contact lens fitting, and be provided with a written prescription for lenses. Eye exams are often covered by insurance. Typical exams cost around $50 but contact lens fitting may be an additional cost.

I already have a prescription for contact lenses. Can I use it for ordering Colorblends?

Your contact lens prescription from your eye doctor specifies the brand. So if your prescription is for regular contacts, you'll need another one for Freshlook Colorblends. We recommend getting both prescriptions (or several if you plan to try different brands of color contacts) at the same time when you get your eye exam.

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.
