A member asked:
Can a baby get blue eyes if the parent wears blue contacts?
14 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: The color of a parent's contacts does not, in any way, affect the eye color of their child. Inheritance of eye color is complex and determined by the parents' genetics, that is, their natural eye color.
