It was several years ago when I had them, no one would sell them to you without at least an rx for the size. Lately i have been seeing people talking about buying them online and acting like im stupid to say you would not want contacts without an rx for the size. There are many sites, and they are shipping from and within places like the us, uk, ca, etc
Then someone posted that yes, its illegal to sell them in the us without an rx.
But lots of places sell them… flea markets, head shops, costume stores, they were all over the place here around halloween time, spencers and hot topic… Just out in regular stores with a standard size and 0 correction - a size that I know would not fit my eye, based on 15 years of wearing rx contacts.
So, whats going on with this whole scene? Legal, illegal? Safe? How many "legit" places who fill orders for corrective lenses offer designer contacts beyond the typical range of a handful of colors that add only subtle difference… forcing people looking for more novel types of designs into the unregulated market of getting contacts without an rx…
>>> Is it or is it not legal to buy/sell designer contacts without an rx?
