Does anyone know of a supplier of Prescription Colour Contact Lens that ship/sell in the UK? All the sellers I’ve tried can’t ship to the UK.
Need Red Contacts for character.
I think quite a few opticians do them if you ask. I found this website after a quick search:

It depends how strong your lenses need to be and if you have astigmatism. If you have astigmatism, it’s nearly impossible to get them.
Unfortunately, as with all the others I’ve found, they will not deliver to the UK
Depending on the type required Specsavers stock a variety but your best bet is to drop in and they will show you the range.
I ordered mine from 9mmsfx.com/ in the US. They’re not cheap (OK, bloody expensive!) but they really are the biz
The detail is superb and if they can make for my prescription (-13.5) they can make for anyone!

My fella and I get prescription lenses from optyk razmus, his violet, mine red.
They’re usually pretty good and deliver to the uk
I have had a horrific time finding anything that wasn’t extortionate that does anything worse than -4.0!
If you do find something at a reasonable, please do let us all know!
Word of advice.
When coloured contacts first made an appearance I got myself a set from the optician. I wore them for about 8 hours for a job took them out and put my specs back on and then wondered why I couldn’t read the departure board at the station unless i took my glasses off.
Turns out that the opaque layer that changes the colour of your eye lets gas through at a different speed to the clear layers. Thus some parts of your eye dont get as much oxygen and capilaries or somesuch expand to deliver more oxygen (all very scientific goes over my head) this subtly changes the shape of the eye and corrects some of my natural shortsightedness.
Materials may have changed and improved since then but it might be worth checking first.
I use freshlook colourblends as supplied to me by my optician (who also happens to be an Empire player). They aren’t super strong weird colours, but I use only one coloured lens at a time, and leave my other eye with a clear lens, which I am told produces quite an effective look.
They do a range of natural-ish colours and I think they offer correction up to quite strong prescriptions. They even seem to have a free trial pair offer on their site. freshlookcontacts.co.uk/html … _form.html
I had originally considered some weird patterned and coloured import korean lenses, but decided that I value my eyes too highly to go with anything of unknown provenance.
HTH
If you have light coloured eyes, Optyk Rosmus deliver to the UK and have the Freshlook range, which aren’t bad as these things go.
They’re completely terrible for someone with dark eyes like mine, though. I’m trying another range and will get back to you after next event!
