    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Get The Right Rx

    Colored contacts prescribed by a doctor and approved by the FDA are safe for any eyesight strength. Optometrists and ophthalmologists will ensure contacts properly fit and provide prescription refills. Colored contacts require daily cleaning and disinfecting for a safe experience.

    On the Other: Don't Buy From Strangers

    Low quality contacts bought from non-medical retailers can cause eye damage, especially when not properly cleaned. Broken lenses can injure or tear the eye, while bacteria exposure can lead to infection or even blindness.

    Bottom Line

    Color lenses can be both safe and fun when prescribed by a trained medical professional. Contact lenses should always be stored in soft contact solution, properly cleaned and never worn for more than 8-9 hours. Avoid contacts from flea markets or cosmetic companies.
