Could i buy the cosmetic lenses online then ask my doctor if its okay to wear them?

Question

I want to buy these cosmetic lenses that i really want because i have been looking everywhere for the right color and i finally found it! but i also read that you absolutely need a prescription for your lenses (by law) . i was hoping to check with my doctor to see if its okay or not and if i should get a prescription. i also dont want to damage or lose my eyes or anything like that. i havent bought the lenses yet, but i hope i can soon! :]

Answer 1

You should consult with your optometrist first before making your purchase. The worst thing that you want to do is lose your money and eyesight.

Dont forget to print out all the information you could find on those lenses you want so badly, as your optometrist will have to make sure of the risks involved with prescribing a product he/she would not normally choose to provide.

If your optometrist approves and gives you the prescription, it would be wise to make a follow up appointment after you've worn the lenses, just to make sure it has impacted your eyesight in a negative way.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Before you waste your money, call the doc and make sure it is ok. It should be fine but I think it would really suck if you had the lenses in hand and then found out you couldn't wear them.
