Wearing colored contact lenses can be a lot of fun. You can change your appearance in a way that people wouldn’t expect and for people that have never met you before, they will think that you have some pretty stunning eyes when they meet you. What a way to make a first impression!
Colored contact lenses are mainly popular with women either in their teens or twenties. They want to find a great way to change their appearance or complete a makeover. Some men wear them but it’s mainly women and these kinds of contacts are even sometimes referred to as cosmetic contact lenses.
Even if you do not need vision correction, you can get yourself a pair of colored contact lenses. They are available for those who already wear prescription contacts and for those who don’t need contacts. If you already wear them, then you can simply order the colored version the next time you place an order. You do not want to, however, wear two contact lenses at once (colored and non-colored) – it just doesn’t work and you won’t get enough oxygen to your eyes, so the lenses will feel very uncomfortable and you could have problems with your eyes.
Choose a Color!
Probably the thing about wearing colored contacts that’s the most fun is choosing from all the different colors available. Check out some of the great colors and designs that are available:
The next best thing about colored contact lenses is that you may be able to make choosing a color easy since you can get yourself some free samples. Yes, the companies that make them are offering free colored contacts samples. You can order free trial color lenses and doing this will help you decide on which color (or colors) looks the best on you and matches well with your skin complexion.
How to Order Free Color Contacts
First of all, before there’s any confusion, you cannot order them here on this website – sorry, but we’ll explain why in a second. You will need to order them from the companies that make them. Doing so is easy. We don’t offer free samples here because we don’t make them and, depending on where you live, you may have to go through a few steps in order to get them which may involve getting a prescription.
Second, what you need to do is go to the websites of companies that make contact lenses. We’ll put that list later on in this article for you. On those websites, there will be a link to where you can fill out a form. It will say “Free Trial Contacts” or “Free Sample Contacts” or something like that. Click on that link to get to the form. Put in your information so that they know where to send them. After that, you’ll get to a web page that has information on how to get the sample colored contacts. It’ll most likely be a page to print out – like a certificate, coupon or rebate form. Each manufacturer is a little different and they sometimes change their process, so it may vary from what we say here but you get the process.
Third, read what the page says. You will need to follow their directions in order to get your free pair of colored contacts in the mail. If you live in the United States or in Canada or are over in the United Kingdom, then there are laws on the books that say that any kind of contact lens does require a prescription from a doctor. This even goes for colored contacts, unfortunately.
Fourth, if you do need to first get a prescription, then it’s actually pretty easy to do. Find a local optician in your area. Some of the best places to go are department stores that have optical departments. They do have real eye doctors there and the price for the exam is reasonable. Yes, you will have to pay for the exam but the prescription will be good for a year. You only have to go annually to renew your prescription if you want to get more contacts. The exam will probably cost between $70 and $100.
After you have made an appointment and go to the eye doctor in your area, you will hand them all the free colored contact sample coupons you have printed out. The doctor will then be able to order them for you in the prescription and colors that you want. You should go to more than one contact lens company’s website so that you can try several different colors. Trying different brands is a good idea, too.
Going to the eye doctor is good for a few reasons. First, you get your eyes checked. If you do happen to need some kind of prescription or have astigmatism, then you can get corrective lenses. Your eyes will thank you because they won’t be straining to see things – which you might not even know you’re doing. When your eyes are less stressed, your body is less stressed and you’ll feel better. Second, getting a prescription makes sure that the contacts you eventually get are fitted to your eyes. People’s eyes are shaped differently, so getting ones that fit your individual eyes will make them feel much more comfortable and you will be able to wear them longer than just a standard pair not made for you.
Free Colored Contacts in the Mail
If the doctor does not have free contact lens samples to give out there in their office, then they will order them for you. They will arrive in the mail at your house in a short amount of time. Be sure to have a fresh contact lens case for each brand of contact lens that you are trying out. Sometimes these companies will give you a case but sometimes they will not. Either way, you’ll also need some contact lens cleaning solution so that you can rinse them out and keep them moisturized when you are not wearing them.
Make sure you do not share contact lenses with anyone else. You might be tempted to but that’s one good way to spread bacteria and you or someone else could easily get an eye infection – even if you think you’ve rinsed them out really well. It’s just not worth it. So have your friends also go through this process and then you all can try your new colored contact lenses together.
Colored Contact Lens Manufacturers
Here are the websites of companies that make colored contacts. You will be able to click on each one and then take advantage of their offers for free colored contacts samples.
- Freshlook Colored Contact Samples (Ciba Vision)
- Acuvue 2 Colours Samples (Acuvue / Johnson & Johnson)
Be sure to only choose name brand companies to make sure that you are not getting cheap colored contacts, which could actually have toxic paint in them which could leak and hurt your eyes. Well known companies use better paints which are not toxic and you will not have to worry about this problem.
