A member asked:

How to touch the color part of your eye without blinking? is that bad to do if you're starting on contact lenses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can't: The colored part of the eye called the iris is inside your eye behind the cornea. The contact lens sits on the tear film of your cornea so you never will touch your iris. Good luck.
