If you are located in the United States you will need to see an Eye Care Practitioner to obtain properly fitted contacts with your prescription. It is actually illegal in the US to sell contact lenses of any kind (even non-corrective lenses) without a proper license.

If you are outside the United States, it is still strongly recommended that you see your eye doctor before wearing color contact lenses. However, you should be able to purchase them online or at a novelty/costume store depending on your country's laws.
