Are cosmetic (or colored) lenses safe?
You may have seen cosmetic contact lenses online or in some stores. These non-vision-correcting lenses are safe as long as they are properly fitted to your eye—you still need a prescription for these “plano” lenses. Never “borrow” lenses from friends and do not buy these without a prescription! The lenses probably won’t fit your eyes correctly, which could result in serious injuries. Talk to your eye care professional if you are interested in these lenses.
