If you've ever wondered whether you can combine vision correction with a bold new eye color, the short answer is yes — absolutely. Can you get colored contacts that are prescription? Today, prescription colored contact lenses are widely available, and they let you see clearly while transforming your look. Whether you need vision correction for nearsightedness or even astigmatism, there's a colored contacts prescription option designed for your eyes.
In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know: how they work, where to buy them, what they cost, and how to stay safe while wearing them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can You Get Colored Contacts That Are Prescription? Yes, Here's How
The most common question we hear is: "Can you get prescribed colored contacts?" The answer is a definite yes. Prescribed colored contact lenses are essentially the ultimate two-for-one — a medical device that gives you crisp, clear vision while letting you express yourself with a new eye color.
These lenses are available for various vision needs, including:
- Nearsightedness (myopia)
- Astigmatism(with toric lenses)
- Plano(0.00 power for perfect vision)
📌 LolaDiva Product Range: At Lola Diva, we specialize in prescription colored contact lenses for myopia (nearsightedness) and plano (0.00 power) lenses. Our colored contacts for astigmatism are available for cylinder values below 100. We do NOT sell hyperopia (farsightedness) or multifocal colored contacts — we focus on what we do best.
So whether you want subtle hazel tones, striking blue, or dramatic gray, you don't have to choose between seeing well and looking great.

How Prescription Colored Contacts Work
Can prescription contacts be colored? Absolutely. Prescription colored contact lenses function exactly like standard clear contacts — they correct your vision based on your specific lens power and diopter. The key difference is an added pigment layer that changes or enhances your natural eye color.
Modern color changing contacts use advanced tinting technology that doesn't compromise your vision. The color is applied to the iris area only, leaving the pupil clear so you can see without obstruction. The best colored contacts brands invest heavily in oxygen permeability and water content, making their lenses comfortable and breathable.
Premium materials like silicone hydrogel and HEMA material ensure the adjustment period is minimal, while maintaining proper hydration for all-day wear.
💡 Pro Tip: At Lola Diva, all our yearly colored contacts are CE, ISO, and FDA certified, with optimal oxygen permeability for healthy corneal health. Starting from just $5.99, you can upgrade your eye color without breaking the bank.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colored Contacts for Astigmatism: What You Need to Know
For a long time, astigmatism was a frustrating limitation for colored lens wearers. But lens technology has made incredible leaps. Today, several leading brands offer colored contacts for astigmatism — toric lenses specifically engineered with a weighted design that stays oriented perfectly on your eye.
Toric lenses have three additional parameters beyond standard spherical lenses:
- Sphere (SPH): Your overall lens power / diopter
- Cylinder (CYL): The amount of astigmatism correction needed
- Axis: The orientation of the cylinder (1–180 degrees)
At Lola Diva, we offer colored contacts for astigmatism with cylinder values below 100. If your astigmatism correction needs are higher, we recommend consulting your eye care professional for specialized options.

Eye Doctor for Colored Contacts: Getting Your Prescription
Getting prescribed colored contact lenses involves a few essential steps. Here's the process:
Step 1: Schedule a Comprehensive Eye Exam
Your eye doctor for colored contacts — an optometrist or ophthalmologist — will evaluate your overall eye health, check your vision, and determine your exact contact lens prescription needs. This eye exam is crucial because ill-fitting lenses can cause corneal scratches, infections, or more serious complications.
Step 2: Contact Lens Fitting
Color contacts come in various lens diameter and base curve sizes, and a contact lens fitting ensures your lenses match your eye's curvature. Your doctor will measure your corneal curvature and assess which brand and size fits best. Different brands fit differently — the material might be stiffer or thicker than what you're used to.
Step 3: Receive Your Prescription
After your eye exam and fitting, your eye care professional will write a contact lens prescription. This includes:
- Lens power / diopter (if you need vision correction)
- Base curve (curvature)
- Diameter
- Cylinder and axis (for astigmatism correction)
- Specific brand recommendation
Step 4: Buy from a Verified Retailer
Only purchase from reputable sources that verify your contact lens prescription. In the United States, it is illegal to sell contact lenses without a prescription. Vendors who sell them without checking with your eye doctor may be selling counterfeit or unsafe products.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FDA Approved Colored Contact Lenses: Why Certification Matters
When shopping for colored contacts, certification isn't just a bonus — it's a necessity. FDA approved colored contact lenses are classified as medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This means every pair must meet strict safety and quality standards before reaching consumers.
What to look for in a trusted retailer:
- FDA medical device registration
- CE certified (European Union compliance)
- ISO certified manufacturing standards
- Transparent lens diameter, base curve, and water content specifications
- Clear replacement schedule guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plano Colored Contact Lenses: Do You Need a Prescription for Zero Power?
Even if you have perfect vision, you still need a contact lens prescription for plano colored contact lenses in the United States. Plano contact lenses have 0.00 power — they don't correct vision but still require a doctor's fitting and prescription because all contact lenses are classified as medical devices by the FDA.
Plano colored contact lenses are perfect for:
- People with perfect vision who want to change their natural eye color
- Cosplay and costume enthusiasts
- Anyone wanting to experiment with color changing contacts temporarily

How Much Are Prescription Colored Contacts? Finding the Cheapest Color Contacts Online
The cost of prescription colored contact lenses varies based on brand, replacement schedule, and where you buy them:
- Standard prescription colored contacts: $40–$90 per box
- Toric (astigmatism) colored contacts: Slightly higher due to specialized design
- Daily disposables: Around $38+ per box

Are Colored Contacts Safe? Understanding Contact Lens Safety
Are colored contacts safe? Are color contacts safe? These are the questions every smart shopper asks. The answer is yes — when prescribed by an eye doctor, purchased from a reputable retailer, and worn according to care guidelines.
The real risks come from:
- Poor-quality, non-FDA approved products
- Improper lens care and hygiene
- Ignoring your replacement schedule
- Buying from unverified sources
Contact lens safety essentials:
- Never wear two pairs of contact lenses at once. Layering a colored lens over a prescription lens can cause hypoxia, infection, and permanent corneal damage.
- Follow your wearing schedule. Daily, monthly, or yearly — never extend the replacement schedule.
- Practice proper hygiene. Wash hands before handling, use fresh lens care solution, and clean your contact lens case regularly.
- Don't sleep in them. Unless specifically approved by your doctor, remove colored contacts before sleeping.
- Remove immediately if irritated. Burning, dryness, or blurred vision are warning signs.

Best Colored Contacts: Finding the Most Realistic Colored Contacts
What makes the best colored contacts? The most realistic colored contacts share these qualities:
- Natural blending: The pigment layer should blend seamlessly with your natural eye color, not look artificial or "painted on"
- Opaque vs. enhancement tint: Opaque tints completely change dark eyes, while enhancement tints deepen light eyes subtly
- Comfort: High water content, silicone hydrogel material, and excellent oxygen permeability
- UV protection: Some premium lenses offer UV protection for outdoor wear
- Durability: Consistent color that doesn't fade during the wearing schedule
The contact lenses that change eye color most naturally use a three-layer design: a transparent center, a pigment layer for color, and a protective outer layer. This ensures the color looks realistic from any angle.
