Is it bad to wear Coloured contacts everyday?
Reusing coloured lenses gives bacteria a chance to enter your eyes, increasing your risk of infection. If the lenses are intended for repeated use, it’s crucial that you disinfect, clean and store them effectively and safely.
What happens if you wear colored contacts too long?
Risks of wearing contacts too long Contact lenses that are left in too long can lead to the following conditions: Corneal ulcers (infectious keratitis): An open sore in the outer layer of the cornea. Hypoxia: A lack of oxygen that can lead to abnormal blood vessel growth into the cornea.

Should you wear Coloured contacts?
Anyone that can wear contacts, can wear colored contacts. Some have totally “regular” eyes and others have an imperfection in the eye’s curvature, called astigmatism. Luckily, there are colored contacts for pretty much everyone, though some types, such as those for astigmatism, might be more expensive.
What happens if you wear contacts too long?
The general advice is to avoid wearing contacts for more than eight hours a day. Stopping wearing the lenses can cause the new blood vessels to collapse, though in severe cases, when there is excessive blood vessel growth, even if they collapse, they can cause scarring.
Can you wear colored contacts over regular contacts?
You cannot wear colored contact lenses over your regular contact lenses. The colored contact lenses you want to wear are even not wearable because the lenses stick to your eyes like suction cup , so the colored lenses cannot stay. Supposed that you wear two pair of contact lenses at the same time, you can hardly blink your eyes.
