Thinking about switching up your eye colour with a pair of grey contact lenses? Whether you're going for a cool, icy vibe or something soft and natural, it’s totally possible — and no, you don’t need a prescription to buy them in the UK.
At Colour Your Eyes, all of our lenses are non-prescription, designed purely for cosmetic use. That means you can enjoy a new look without needing vision correction or an optometrist appointment.
Cosmetic Lenses = No Prescription Needed
Unlike vision-correcting lenses, our colour contact lenses are made to change the appearance of your eye colour, not your eyesight. That’s why they’re legally considered a cosmetic product in the UK — and can be purchased without a prescription.
This makes it easy for anyone to experiment with different colours, styles, and looks. Whether you're looking for a dramatic change or something subtle, you can switch it up whenever you feel like it — no eye test required.
Safety Still Matters
Just because a prescription isn’t needed doesn’t mean you should skip on safety. Even non-corrective grey contact lenses need to be handled with care. Always follow proper hygiene practices:
-
Wash your hands before touching your lenses
-
Use only recommended contact lens solution (never water!)
-
Store them in a clean case
-
Never share your lenses with others
-
Don’t wear them longer than the recommended time
This keeps your eyes comfortable and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. We also include care instructions with every order to make things easy.
How to Pick the Right Grey Lens for You
Not all grey lenses give the same effect — some are bold and icy, while others are soft and natural. The final look also depends on your natural eye colour, which is why each of our product pages includes a ‘Colours That See Results’ section.
This feature shows you how each lens is likely to look on different eye colours, so you’re not left guessing. Whether you’ve got light blue, hazel, or deep brown eyes, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect.
Still not sure? We're always happy to help you choose a lens that fits your style and gives you the result you want.
