If you’re thinking about trying hazel lenses, you might be wondering whether you need a prescription to buy them in the UK.
The answer is simple: you don’t.
At Colour Your Eyes, all of our lenses are non-prescription and designed purely for cosmetic use. That means you can switch up your eye colour whenever you feel like it — no optician appointment or vision correction needed.
Why No Prescription Is Needed
While contact lenses are technically classed as medical devices in the UK, there’s a clear difference between corrective lenses (which require a prescription) and non-corrective lenses.
Our coloured contact lenses fall into the second category. They’re made to change the appearance of your eyes, not your vision. So as long as you're using them for cosmetic purposes, you’re free to buy and wear them without a prescription.
Safety Still Matters
Even though you don’t need a prescription, it’s still important to wear your lenses responsibly. Hazel contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, so good hygiene and proper care are essential.
Here are a few basics to keep in mind:
- Always wash your hands before handling your lenses
- Use fresh contact lens solution for cleaning and storage
- Stick to the recommended wear time (usually up to 8 hours)
- Never sleep in your lenses
- Don’t share them with anyone else
Following these steps will keep your eyes comfortable and your lenses in great condition.
Choosing the Right Hazel Shade
Hazel is one of the most natural-looking and versatile colours — but not all shades will look the same on every eye. Your natural eye colour plays a big role in the final result.
That’s why each product page includes a ‘Colours That See Results’ section. This helps you see how different coloured contact lenses perform across a range of eye colours, so you can choose a shade that actually works for you.
Whether you want a soft honey glow or a deeper golden tone, this feature makes it easier to shop with confidence.
