Can I still wear colored contacts or is that harmful to my eyes?

There are color contacts without any sort of prescription, which means you can wear them even if you have 20/20 vision. Just go check out an eyecare place. I'm sure they'll tell you more.

Yes you can wear coloured contacts and they will not affect your 20/20 vision. I know because I just ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and I don't have to wear glasses or contacts. I do suggest that you don't wear them constantly, give your eyes a rest. Oh I did have to get a perscription for them . I also suggest that you see an Ophthalmologist just to be on the safe side rather than ordering them online etc. because you are dealing with something very precious your eyesight.

It will not hurt your eyes a bit as long as you follow the rules. Almost every mfgr of colored contact lenses make a plano (no correction lenses) This is what you want. They can advise you what colors if any you can wear. Have fun I have done it for many many years. Blues are good and greens can be devastating.

I have not seen anything saying they are bad for you but if you don't clean them like regular contacts then you will be prone to eye infections. But yes youo can wear then they make non prescription ones, and ones that look like cat eyes,monster eyes,snake eyes the list goes on. Look in a specialty store or online. I am sure you can find something.

Yes, you can still wear them. Just get non-prescription. But be warned; contacts can be a pain in the butt! I had to stop wearing mine, my eyes didn't produce enough moisture and it felt like i had broken glass in my eyeballs.

You can still get them. You just need an eye exam and a prescription. You still need a prescription because it will be a measurement of your eyes. You can then order your lenses from the doctor or from a dealer such as 1800Contacts.

No problem. Just go to an eye doctor and order them. They will have to be fit to your eye unless it is a soft lens. They are no more harmful to your eye than to one who needs a prescription. Just be certain to follow the directions. Failure to follow the directions can ruin your good eyesight. Blindness is a real possibility....unless you follow the directions.

My understanding is that you can still get them. Go to an eyecare place. You will still need a prescription, but I have heard they will get them for you, even if you have perfect vision.

You can still wear them. I noticed when I bought them at my optician's office, they had some labeled "no correction." They would not hurt your eyes as long as you take care of them properly. Disinfect them like you are supposed to. Good luck!
