I need to know where I could buy contact lenses. I don't want to buy them online thought I want it know what stores I could buy them at. And they have to be non prescription.
Um...do not put crap into your eyes without seeing a doctor. I've been wearing contacts for many years, and there is definitely a learning curve (you will seriously hate your life if you put a contact in backwards, for instance). You can buy colored contacts from optometry stores, but please please please have your eyes checked first.
Yes please see an eye doctor. You have to make sure you are fitted with the right type. If you do not have a good fitting contact you can damage your corneas.
Coastal.com! I do agree that you should see an optometrist before using contacts, even if you don't have a prescription. You've only got two eyes and contact lenses are a very easy way to damage them. Be careful!
I bought my circle lenses from Honeycolor.com and all of my costume lenses from YouKnowIt.com. Please see an optometrist first just to be safe! Non-prescription costume lenses are technically contraband in the United States, which is why they cost so much more here than abroad.
I'd stay away from colored contacts you buy in store unless they come from a place that sells regular prescription contacts as well. Places like smoke shops and cheap shoe stores have very low quality color contacts that can actually damage your eyes. There are places online, as others have mentioned, that are reputable places to buy. Contacts are not very safe, and you need to be very careful. Don't just rush into it- do a little research first

Non prescription? Why would you need contacts then?

You could try going to an eye doctor's office or calling them first & asking if they have any!

And yes, putting one in inside out is one of the WORST FEELINGS IN THE WORLD. I felt like I was trying to put sandpaper in my eye.
