While many of the fun contact lenses available on the internet today are not optometrist approved there are a couple of diamond exceptions that are approved and completely legal for purchase in the US. One really fun and colorful pair of contact lenses that are also FDA approved are circle contact lenses from Vision Direct. These lenses are not circle lenses made in Asia but rather are called circle lenses because they have a dark ring at the outer edges to mimic the eye's natural ring and make your eye and the color embedded in these contacts really pop. They are certainly fun and will be a very noticeable change to anyone who knows you but they are also completely safe and can be worn with confidence. They come in a half dozen eye popping colors and are available in both prescription and non-prescription strength but as these lenses are sold by a reputable US on-line store (powered by drugstore.com) they will require a current doctor's Rx. See the related links section for more information related to these FDA and optometrist approved fun circle contact lenses.
