A member asked:
Is it considered unhealthy and even dangerous to wear non prescription coloured contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need fitting: Anyone wearing contact lenses, whether prescription lenses, cosmetic, or both, should be fit for the lens and instructed in the care of lenses, and how to insert and remove the lenses. This fitting should be by an optometrist or ophthalmologist, not at a salon of some sort.
