Contact Lens Canada

Contact lenses are medical devices which, like drugs, provide benefits while posing certain risks. If you wear contact lenses, you should take steps to minimize these risks and protect your vision.

Medical devices, including corrective contact lenses, must be licenced by Health Canada before they can be imported and sold in Canada. The Medical Devices Regulations require that the medical devices imported and sold in Canada are safe, effective, and of quality manufacture. This is achieved by a combination of a pre-market review prior to licencing, and post-market surveillance of adverse events.

Non-corrective colour contact lenses or cosmetic contact lenses are not considered to be medical devices in Canada as they do not correct or modify a body function or structure. Therefore, you do not need a prescription to buy them. Non-corrective colour contact lenses are currently managed by the Cosmetics Division. Manufacturers and importers must notify Health Canada that they intend to market the product, and are required to provide safety data.

All about Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are small, ultra-thin, optical lenses worn directly on the eye to correct vision problems (like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or presbyopia). Contact lenses can be hard or soft, can replace glasses or bifocal glasses and can also enhance or change the color of your eyes.

Most contact lenses are soft, or hydrophilic, meaning they are made of water. (This is how soft contact lenses stay soft.) Soft contact lenses are extremely thin and are manufactured from materials that allow oxygen to pass through them and reach the eye surface.

Almost everyone can wear contact lenses – even some babies are fitted with contact lenses when they have eye problems! Most people start wearing contacts in their early teens, but even children as young as 8 years old can learn to wear (and take care of) contact lenses.
