Color Contacts...?

I've been thinking about
getting some color contacts.
I have 20/20 vision and don't need glasses or anything.

Do I need to go through my eye doctor to buy contacts or can I just purchase
them off the internet on my own?

and what brands would you recommend? I know people have been saying acuvue
colors and freshlook are good but what other brands have you tried and liked?
First of all, you can get color contacts if you don't need any power to correct
your vison. They're called plano lenses

Second, you do have to go through your eye doctor. Like all contacts, color
contacts are a medical device and require a perscription to purchase. If you try
to go online and buy them they will ask for your optometrist's information
because, by law, they have to verify the perscription. Sorry to say it, but if
you haven't gotten a contact lens evaluation from a doctor you're not going to
be able to get contacts.

As far as brand it depends on the shape of your eye. If you decide to go ahead
and get the perscription the doctor will fit you with the lenses he/she believes
will be the most comfortable for you.

Trust me, I'm an Optometric Technician and I get this question all the time.
I know for a fact that durasoft complements are a good brand, but their prices
are very steep! It's about one hundred a lense! ~ But they are for extended
wear, so they should last about two to three months. It depends on how much you
wear them as well. If you sleep with the lenses, they will wear out more fast.
Yes, you definitely need a prescription for contact lenses...even if they do not
have any power in them. Go see your optometrist.....they fit contact lenses the
best.

i heard that Coopervision Expressions are good colored lenses......so are
Freshlooks.
