Do I need a prescription for my coloured contact lenses?

All contact lenses supplied within the UK, including non-prescription lenses, are now classed as medical devices, and should only be supplied or supervised by a registered optician.

We understand that it can sometimes seem an effort to come into store and see your optician when lenses are so cheap and easily available online, however we would strongly advise against purchasing lenses without a proper fitting and advice from an eyecare professional.

To find out more information about some of the harmful side effects of wearing cheap or poor quality lenses, ask our team in store or see our contact lenses and fancy dress page.
