Or worse...: Wearing contact lenses you got without a prescription puts you at risk for a very serious eye infection that could cause blindness. Contact lenses have to be fit to the eye based on the curvature of the cornea. The solution the contacts are bathed in also should be sterile, which may not be guaranteed in a non-prescription contact.
