Q: Who can wear COOLCONTACTS contact lenses?

Q: Do you sell prescription contact lenses?

A: Not at the moment. We specialize in cosmetic contact lenses. All of our lenses are Plano (0.00 power).

Q: Do the lenses come in pairs?

A: All of our lenses come in pairs, so a quantity of 1 includes two lenses.

Q: My tracking number doesn't work / The tracking page says invalid tracking number

A: Both Canada Post and UPS tracking pages take several hours to update from when your order has been shipped. Please wait a few hours and try again.

Q: My eyes are dark brown, will this affect how the contact lenses look in my eyes/will it still look like the model in the product images?

A: For our coloured 'Natural' contact lenses it is important to read the product descriptions and consult each of its images to view the lenses on various iris colours, previewing what they might look like on your eyes. Our lenses are designed to BLEND with your original eye colour (they look different for everyone). While for our crazy 'Special FX' designs, most are made to completely cover up the iris and will look the same for almost everyone.

If you are at all unsure about a specific contact design, definitely email us, we will be happy to help!
