Can i wear colored contacts over my prescription contacts for a few hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but . . .: This is called piggybacking a lens. Usually it is done with matching base curves so the lens on top will be stable. Your plan might work but there is a moderate likelihood that the lens on top will be unstable and will move out of position. There is no health risk to what you propose.
