I am new to using colored contacts. I want to use them however every one I find is very expensive. I am willing to buy expensive ones but, im not willing to spend 73 dollars on my right eye and another 73 on my left. That is ridiculous!! If I were to buy a box of contacts for my right eye and the box came with 6 lenses inside, and I used the lenses for both of my eyes even though they are only for my right eye. Would this in any ways damage my eye?
What can I do?

as long as the prescription and size of the lense are the same then you should be OK.
Call your Optometrist just to be sure.

There isn't really a simple answer to this. The precription is a factor of course but also the lenses are designed to fit certain measurements in the eye and though it is rare the measurements may be different in both eyes. This is the case with me. Also If you have an astigmatism in only one eye it could also be a factor. If they are prescription lenses and you have different precriptions for both eyes, and choose to buy only one set, it will put tremendous strain on your eyes and your vision will get worse. I don't really recommend that you do that. But you could ask your eye doctor. Of course he may refuse to give you a prescription if he knows that you intend to do that

I wear contacts and the perscription is different in each eye
plus the curviture may be different as well.
As an emergency 2-4 hours no problem but 12 hours maybe
a problem.
Also FYI Walmart has Opticians available on Sundays they
would be better for a more "accurate" answer.
Hope this helps

Are these prescription contacts? If they are are BOTH your eyes the same prescription? If so then it wont harm your eyes. If anything you would develop a headache from one eye trying to compensate the difference in prescription to the other. As long as you dont do this often and keep them clean you should be fine

it would damage it but the amount of damage depend of the difference in prescrition, for example my left eye is -4.25 but my right is - 2.75, thats a big difference, can i ask you one question when your box of contacts run out will you restock? coz if your planning on doing this long term then why not get both, that means less trips to the optometrist. Well goodluck

I wear one contact for distance and one for up close. The only thing that would happen if I mixed them is it would make things look strange for a few minutes until I got used to it.
If your eyes are each different, you won't be able to see as well
Funny you worry about expense when people pay $50 for sun glasses, and women pay $50 for hairdo. for no improvement.

They're just colored contacts right? No prescription? Well, in that case they shouldn't damage your eyes at all. It's just a colored contact, how would it damage your eye?

its probably safer to get your eye power checked(left and right).
if its normal for both ur eyes then there should be no problem.but then if they are different u might have to buy another for your left eye..
but if ur eyesight is perfect then go right ahead and use the ones u have for both your eyes!
