You can get colored contacts from your eye care professional. You must have an exam and a fitting, first, by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. They will determine the base curve of your cornea, whether it is steep or flat, and then they can determine which brand of contact is best for you. Colored contacts come in various types. There are enhancers for light eyed patients, which just enhance the base color of the iris and opaque lenses to change the color of your eyes. Even if you don't have a prescription and want to get colored contacts, a doctor must examine your eyes and give you a prescription for them. They are considered by the FDA as medical devices, and if the prescribing doctor has written a prescription for you to wear them, he or she is medically liable for that diagnosis and prescription. Usually most contact prescriptions expire within a year.
