Why? Does everyone’s eyesight suddenly get worse in winter? Of course not; the simple answer is Halloween contact lenses. People love to dress up and the scarier you can make your costume the better.

One way you can really stand out from the crowd is to change the colour of your eyes. Any not just from brown to blue, or something like that, but to red, or yellow, or even white. Just about anything you can imagine, in fact.

How is this possible? Nowadays, cosmetic contact lenses are readily available. These would usually be of the wear once and throw away type. Relatively cheap and available mostly in plano, or plain format. That means that they provide no sight correction. but that’s ok, you’re just trying to make yourself look really scary for Halloween.

Now, the question is, can you get Halloween contact lenses without prescription? Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, it is difficult to legally buy Halloween lenses with no prescription. In fact, this is true of most types of contact lenses in most places.

You can actually get cosmetic lenses from Canada without a prescription, and Halloween contacts are just a form of cosmetic lens. Now, having said that, I bought prescription, sight-correcting lenses in the UK from a website without having to provide prescription details, just last week, so the chances are that you can buy contacts for Halloween without no prescription if you really want to.

But, I shall end as I always do, and caution you against putting any sort of lens into your eyes if you haven’t been to an optician and had your eyes tested and a lens recommended. Lenses are not suitable for everyone and it is essential to get a type which is reputable and also suitable for your eyes. It is not worth risking your eyesight for an evening’s fun, so please take care. By the way, the lenses I bought were recommended by an optician after I had a series of tests. I bought exactly the same brand and prescription online and saved money – but I did get a test and prescription first.

Why do you want to do this? Do you know what your prescription is, so you think you don’t need to get another, or do you just want cosmetic lenses which don’t have a strength and so should not need a prescription?

Let’s suppose you want traditional contacts, to correct your vision. Obviously for getting these contacts you will need to know what strength to get, so you must have had a prescription once. If this prescription is old, can you still use it to get contact lenses? Well, probably not, is the answer. Of course, you can get anything off the internet so there is probably someone out there who will sell you them, based on the strength listed on your prescription. But can you do this legally? Not in most parts of the world. It is generally illegal to buy or sell prescription lenses without a current prescription.

What about cosmetic, non-prescription lenses? Well, the situation is a bit easier here, although it does vary from place to place. In Canada, cosmetic lenses are not classed as medical devices and they may be sold without a prescription.

The question must be asked, why are you interested in getting contact lenses without a prescription? It is very easy to get a prescription. It does not take much time or money. If you compare this with the possible lifetime of ruined eyesight which can come from wearing sub-standard lenses, or lenses which are not suitable for your eyes, then there is only one sensible solution. contact lenses are very readily available. They are cheap, and so are sight tests; the best thing is to stop thinking about getting contact lenses without prescription.
