Yes, colored contacts are safe to use. Your eye doctor should approve of them, and you should ensure that you are buying genuine products and not fake lenses.

We’ve listed some handy pointers for ensuring you are using colored contact lenses safely.

Are Colored Contact Lenses Safe?

Buying genuine colored lenses

There are many dangers of wearing fake contact lenses, so it is highly important you buy from a trusted site. Lens.me is an authorized retailer of all brands, and you can be secure that you are only buying the real deal.

Contact lenses aren’t for everyone, and it is important to consult with your eye doctor before trying contact lenses for the first time. If you have astigmatism, then Solotica now sells colored toric lenses for astigmatism so you can custom-make your colored lenses to your eye.

Caring Your Colored Contact Lenses

Once you’ve got the go-ahead that colored lenses are safe to use for your eyes, then it is vital to ensure you are caring for your lenses correctly. Putting in lenses for the first time can take a bit of practice, but it is important to get it right. If wearing daily lenses, then these can be disposed of at the end of the day, but any other replacement cycle (monthly, yearly, etc.) means you will need to clean and store your lenses overnight. Depending on which replacement cycle, your lenses will determine how long you can wear colored contacts.

In short, colored contacts are safe to use, providing your eye doctor confirms they are ok for your eyes. Some people prefer certain brands or replacement cycled, so it is worth trying a few different brands to get the right ones for you.
