WildBerry 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Heya babes,I'm not sure if you girls has any effects on wearing coloured contacts, but one of my colleagues warn me that coloured contact does bring harm to eyes.. I'm not sure how true is that..Anyone has any experience before? TIA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michellechen 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 How does it harm? If you get from reputable brands and keep it clean enough, it shouldn't be a problem. What I know is permanent colored lens is indeed drier compared to normal disposable lens but I never heard anything about it being harmful. More info please.

CyBeR 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I think you're referring to oxygen starvation? If so, yes contact lenses of any kind is harmful if you wear them too long. Glasses are better. Wear coloured lenses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildBerry 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I'm not too sure about it coz my colleague says it harms your eyes and she said it will make our cornea (kornea in bm) changes its colour gradually. I'm not too sure about this.. but i think I need to google up for more info.. does anyone have any idea on this? one thing, it does make the eyes drier compared to the normal lenses (which is my personal opinion) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetiecat 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2007 yea...i think contact lens themselves are harmful if you do not do the right cleaning process, if your lens are kept cleaned there shouldnt be a problem.if the lens are not clean, or maybe if your eyes are sensitive, then you probably can get eye infection or damage to your cornea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shazzac 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2007 Although i don't wear coloured contacts, i do wear the colourless normal ones. I'm currently using Acuvue2 from J&J. I've been wearing it since i was 19 and so far it's going well. I guess contact wearers SHOULD be deligent in cleaning and taking care of the contacts. Some ppl sleep in it, hence the infection and what not. And i don't think my eye changed colour from then till now. It's still the same brown as it then.

pinkybabe 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2007 i was on colored lenses for three months. well i guess they were sensitive enough to harm my left eye. it got swallon very badly N reddish that i thought i was gonna go blind. Went to the doc, did a scan N my left eye had changed color =/ luckily it didnt spread to the right eye, although that almost happened. Well right now, although it got cured, both of my eyes are different. i get a blurry vision all the time. Extremely uncomfortable, had to struggle at work N what not. im never going to wear them anymore lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CyBeR 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2007 um. Infections can happen without contacts. Maybe your lenses not cleaned properly. Or your cleaning solution contaminated. Also the very unlikely but possible (heck anything is possible) maybe you got a bad batch of some sort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
