Guide to Green Contact Lenses—Go Dreamy or Dramatic

Welcome to our guide to green colored contact lenses. Believe it or not, green is the most popular contact lens color.

If you have brown eyes, you can completely change your color with opaque green contact lenses. If you have light eyes, you can pump up the intensity of your eyes with green enhancement tints.

Tips for Choosing the Right Green

  • Naturally dark eyes must wear opaque lenses to completely change color.
     
  • Naturally light eyes can wear either opaque or enhancer lenses.
     
  • For best results, match your complexion to the right shade of cool green, jade, or moss green contacts.
     
  • Don't pay full price for green color contacts by taking advantage of online coupon offers.

How to Get a Prescription for Green 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.

I have an astigmatism too! ;P they do make contacts both colored and not for people like us! Its best to get them through your eye doctor though, or on a website that makes the contacts directly.
