<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Contact sales are regulated
Contact lens sales are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, which approves them as being safe to wear. Whether you wear prescription or nonprescription colored contacts, they need proper cleaning. Wash your hands before handling your lenses and rinse your lenses before wearing them.
On the Other: Risks of Contacts
According to the FDA, "Wearing contact lenses puts you at risk of several serious conditions including eye infections and corneal ulcers." Conditions can develop quickly and can even cause blindness. Not washing your lenses or hands properly can result in serious side effects.
Bottom Line
The FDA approves colored contacts, and if you are clean when handling your contacts and exercise the right care and precaution, colored contacts are safe to wear.
