A member asked:

I'm thinking of piggybacking coloured contact lenses over my regular ones for halloween but i'm not sure if i'm able to as my eyes are shaped like rug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can try this: This is not harmful. The piggybacked lenses , however, will be less stable and there is a high risk of dislocation or loss of these lenses. That will not hurt your eye.
