Color Contact Lenses (Charlotte: buy, legally, office)

[sQuiBy]

Hello,

I have an emergency and would like to know if anyone has an idea of where I can find a place locally and buy non prescription contact lenses? Preferably Honey colored.

Thank you!

A colored contact lens emergency???

These things can be very bad for your eyes if you aren't careful.

Personally, I wouldn't wear any that didn't come from an eye doctors office. But you need an appt to try them on.

Good comment LovesMountains. Not only is it not safe, it is illegal for any place other than an eye care business to sell colored contacts that are non-prescription. Please see the article below so you can understand what kind of problems this might lead to. I know some people may do this and seem to be doing fine, but there are many who are not. Are you willing to take a chance with your eyes?

There are many places you can be fit with an order these legally and be fit safely all over Charlotte.

I was just going to post this! Got terrible eye infection from colored lenses many years ago. You do need to go to an eye doctor to get them regardless.

On a side note, I'm wondering about the emergency

Now, I wonder what kind of color contact emergencies there are out there also...

If she told someone those were her real eye's then it's an emergency. LOL
