    Does anybody know where to buy colored eye contacts?
    Hi everyone! My mom has recently asked me to make a Christmas gift ideas I would like. The only thing I can thing of is colored eye contacts, but I don't know where to get them. I would like them to be a deep blue, like a sapphire, (just like the ones Miley Cyrus wears in her latest videos). And please don't recommend any brands that irritate your eyes, and I would like them to last a long time (not for just a week). Thanks so much! I hope you can get back to me soon!!

    Non prescription coloured contacts are very dangerous for eyes. If they are not custom made to fit the cornea, (every person is different) it may cause permanent eye damage. If you already wear glasses, you can buy prescription coloured contacts.

    Start with a major supplier such as Walgreens or Costco once you have your prescription and OK from your opthahmologist.

    This is an international site; try the phone book for optometrists in your area, or Google. No one is going to sell you non prescription lenses for your eyes. They are damaging.

    I must chime in I had a friend who bought a pair from a halloween store. She wore them for a few months as they were labeled safe etc. She almost lost her sight. Only get contacts from a optometrist do not go elsewhere. I have no idea how stores can sell them when she was told by the ER doctor this is a common occurrence.
