Answer 2

You can buy non prescription coloured contacts at any place that sells them. There is no age limit or prescription requirement. Generally you can find them in costume shops, especially around Halloween. Here's a website that sells them: http://www.wildcontacts.com/ I found it by typing "red color contacts" in to Google... there were many results.

Wearing contacts can be uncomfortable for people who are not used to it, especially non-prescription brands which are not meant for extended use. The feeling can be similar to having dust in your eye, for some people it's not a big deal and for others it's painful. I personally can never feel my prescription contacts but non-prescription coloured contacts are uncomfortable and make my eyes feel a bit dry.

Putting in a contact is a lot like touching your eyeball, so if that freaks you out, you probably won't be able to do it.

You will also want to buy some saline solution (available at Target or CVS or anywhere that sells contacts) to keep your contacts moist.
