Contact lenses have long been considered the domain of people who suffer from visual deterioration. People thought that the contact lenses are just like prescription drugs, you cannot purchase them without a prescription written in illegible language by a doctor who uses thick horn rimmed glasses. But the reality is different, the market is flooded with non prescription contact lenses which come with a zero diopter rating and can be used by anyone.
But the natural question is that if one does not have any eye problems, why would he wear contact lenses at all? The companies have moved on from making simple transparent contact lenses and now you can easily purchase color tinted contact lenses. These color contact lenses can be used to change the color of the pupil of your eye. You can make your eyes look watery, bright or even funky.
Many people search online for contact lenses with no prescription needed. Technically such thing doesn’t exist. According to the law, contact lenses are medical devices and selling contact lenses without prescription is illegal in USA, UK and Canada. Contact lens with no prescription are not easy to find.
If you want to get cheap contact lenses, buying your contacts online is the answer. You would be surprised to find out that online contact lens retailers offer discount contacts for 40-70% of the price you would pay for exactly the same lenses at the optometrist’s office.
Contact lenses without prescription are available in colored and plain varieties and disposable and extended wear types. The extended wear contacts last longer but require proper handling, cleaning and thorough care. Since disposable lenses can be discarded after use, they are more hygienic and help to keep the eye free from infections.

What causes dry eyes from contact lenses?
Dry Eye Syndrome Symptoms
Persistent dryness, scratching and burning in your eyes are signs of dry eye syndrome. These symptoms alone may prompt your eye doctor to diagnose dry eye syndrome.
But sometimes your eye doctor may want to measure the amount of tears in your eyes. A thin strip of filter paper placed under the lower eyelid, called a Schirmer test, is one way to measure tear production.
Another symptom of dry eyes is a “foreign body sensation”, the feeling that something is in the eye. And it may seem odd, but sometimes watery eyes can result from dry eye syndrome, because the excessive dryness works to overstimulate production of the watery component of your eye’s tears.
According to the Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston, approximately 10 million people in the United States suffer from Dry Eyes. One risk factor for dry eyes that might be surprising is that wearing contact lenses can actually cause Dry Eyes. Why is it that contact lenses can cause Dry Eyes? Simply stated, Dry Eyes can occur if you either don’t have a sufficient quantity of tears or if the composition of the tears you do have is not correct.
