A member asked:

Could glow in the dark contacts be causingdamage to your eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contact lenses: Are a great alternative way to correct your vision if you have a need for glasses. Unfortunately, cosmetic contacts like the ones you describe are often poor quality and can cause significant damage to your eyes when worn. I do not recommend patients use these types of contacts because of this.
