Are colored contacts dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They are contact lenses and must be used appropriately to avoid infections. But if used properly, they are no more dangerous than any other type of contact lens. Some types do impair the peripheral vision somewhat; and you must be aware of this when driving.
