Answer:
On the subject of colored contact lenses.......... Contact lenses ARE NOT a one size fits all. If you buy from a place on internet or a place at a flea market or a fashion store you are asking for SERIOUS trouble with your eyesight. WORD of ADVICE.....EXTREMELY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! DO NOT BUY any COLORED or any COSTUME CONTACT LENSES online......... Or ANY PLACE that is NOT A CERTIFIED FDA approved place that sells eye-wear like glasses or contact lenses. PERIOD!!!!!!!! ONLY your local eye doctor knows what is the safest place online to get ANY contact lenses. Even colored ones. The problem is contact lenses are NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL... The QUALITY of any online contact lens company from a website or any internet places HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE.....UNLESS through your local eye doctor. AND there is NO SUCH THING as a safe website for buying contact lenses online...UNLESS through a certified optometrist. Also, in the United States it is AGAINST THE LAW to sell ANY CONTACT LENSES (that includes colored, costume, etc) without going through your local eye doctor. AGAIN, it is the law. You BEST and SAFEST option is to go to your local eye doctor that deals with contact lenses and he can do an eye exam to get the correct sized contact lenses fitted for your eyes. REPEAT - Contact lenses are NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL. Again, you have to go to your local eye doctor. Your eye doctor knows which websites are FDA approved. There are optometrists that can get these "colored contact lenses" for you. In my local city I see eye doctors having signs in their windows for these colored or costume contact lenses around Halloween time. (I guess they want to make a few extra dollars during Halloween). You just have to call around to the eye doctors and ask about getting these ones. These will cost more going through an eye doctor. BUT THIS is the safest route. IF You buy any of these online, you are asking for trouble. Like having a CORNEA TRANSPLANT or spending time in the local hospital in the optic eye ward. In the United States it is illegal to get contact lenses of any type without going through a certified eye doctor. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EVEN THINK of BUYING any TYPE of CONTACT LENS ONLINE. UNLESS THROUGH an OPTOMETRIST or your LOCAL EYE DOCTOR. Even in Canada. I am sure there is an eye doctor in Montreal that can get these colored contacts for you, you will have to ask around. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = IMPORTANT!!!!!! Also check this out FDA website info on colored contacts: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm275069.htm?utm_sou%E2%80%A6=fdaSearch&utm_medium=website&utm_term%E2%80%A6%20contact%20lenses&utm_content=9 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = /ConsumerUpdates/ucm275069.htm?utm_sou… =fdaSearch&utm_medium=website&utm_term… %20contact%20lenses&utm_content=9 ========================END===========…
