Coloured contact lenses transform the natural colour of your iris, providing the confidence of clear, corrected vision whilst opening up a world of cosmetic possibilities.
From creating subtle, mysterious tints in the hue of your eyes to striking switches in colour, coloured contact lenses serve a diverse array of uses from finessing your professional look to adding some dazzle to your night-out attire, or even creating an immersive finish to fantasy costumes.
Here at The Optical Store, we stock a range of prescription and non-prescription coloured contact lenses. Scroll down to find out more.
There’s a huge range of coloured eye contact lenses available in a variety of modalities, varying the length of time you can wear them.
Daily coloured contact lenses are designed for up to 10 hours of continuous use before they must be disposed of. Monthly coloured contact lenses can be re-worn for up to 30 days after opening their blister packet, but must be removed, cleaned and stored safely every night after use.

Variety
Coloured eye contacts are produced in a breathtaking variety of shades. These contact lenses can make your dream of sparkling blue eyes a reality or add a dash of drama to your appearance with a deep brown tint.
If dramatic colour overhauls aren’t your style, coloured lenses can also feature much gentler twists. They enhance the depth and dimension of your natural eye colour while lightening, brightening, or deepening your look as you wish. Even better, they don’t impact your vision’s clarity.
Prescription and Non-prescription
Available in vision-correcting prescriptions or no prescription at all, coloured contact lenses offer a flawless means of attaining a new wave of confidence in your look.
Prescription-coloured contact lenses are available for those with myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (far-sightedness). If you have perfect, natural vision and are seeking non-prescription coloured contact lenses, simply choose 0.00 PWR contact lenses when you place your order.
Aesthetic
Natural-coloured contact lenses are a go-to for most clients, allowing you to tint your eyes as little or as often as you like. From colour-co-ordinating your party outfit to augmenting the impact of your everyday look, these lenses are designed to complement your appearance with a low-key but eye-catching twist.
More unusual shades and styles, such as violet, black, and cat-eye contact lenses, provide the perfect finishing touches to your cosplay, SFX look, or Halloween costume.
Are coloured contact lenses safe?
Founded by optical specialists, The Optical Store ensures that the coloured contact lenses we stock are 100% safe for use and only stock reputable brands.
All contact lenses are slightly susceptible to eye infection if handled with unclean hands. Coloured eye contacts designed for more than one day’s use must be cleaned and stored in a fresh contact lens solution after every use.

Can I wear coloured contact lenses without a prescription?
Yes! You don’t need a prescription for long—or short-sightedness to wear coloured contacts. However, we always recommend that you visit an optician before buying any contact lenses to ensure the base curve and diameter of the lenses will fit your eyes. Incorrect fitting may increase the risk of eye infection.
Can I sleep wearing coloured contact lenses?
No, it is never recommended to sleep in contact lenses of any kind unless, in the very rare case, they are extended-wear contact lenses. Please feel free to contact our in-house optical specialists should you have any other questions.
