Don't do it without consulting with your optometrist first! Many people can't wear nonprescription lenses, and doing so risks permanent damage.

If you are in the United States, you cannot purchase lenses domestically without a prescription- the FDA regulates contact lenses as medical devices (even costume lenses). Buying online from a foreign supplier can be risky; be sure you research the brand and seller thoroughly to find a legitimate supplier.

Contact lenses are a pricey investment. One pair of quality lenses is at least $25 plus international shipping and tax (so upwards of $40-50), plus you need solution (~$6), a case (~$4), and wetting drops if you are wearing them for longer than a few minutes (~$4). Add that to the cost of an office visit at your optometrist (varies by insurance), and you're spending nearly $80.

That's all assuming that your optometrist even says that your eyes are able to safely wear plano lenses. If your doctor says that you will injure your eye, forget about the lenses. No accessory is worth permanent vision damage.
