I wouldn't wear them for extensive amounts of time. Perhaps 4-6 hours. The only problem with non prescribed colored contacts is that their water content is a lot lower so they can last longer (that's why you see that most of them last 6 months to a year). And that dries out your eyes which can damage them. Same if you fall asleep in them. They can fuse to your eye. However, if you only wear them for short amounts of time and remember to take them out before bed, colored contacts can't harm you.
They are not bad, and they won't ruin your eyes unless you have a horrible reaction to them. Some people think they're uncomfortable, if you're bothered by touching your eye or having things close to your eyes I'd just skip them. But if you have a friend who wears contacts help you, you can be sure you're doing it right and be as comfortable as possible. But you do want to research what you're getting and make sure they're a well-reviewed brand without a lot of complaints.
snoozing in touch lenses lowers the quantity of oxygen getting by on your eyes, subsequently putting you at a a procedures better possibility for eye infections. the only thank you to tell regardless of if that's an infection or in case you purely aggravated your eyes is to pass to an eye fixed healthcare professional. regardless of if that's an infection that's needed have it looked at dazzling away; some varieties of infections can get very severe and reason scarring and blindness. there are particular manufacturers of contacts which would be adequately slept in (made up of extra moderen, extra breathable supplies) yet you will desire to communicate with your healthcare professional to make certain while you're a sturdy candidate.
The ones that are perscribed to you by an eye doctor don't hurt you.
Colored ones, especially a cheap brand, will hurt you. Not to mention, you won't be able to put them in or take them out simply. It would be very difficult for you-assuming that you haven't ever worn any. It took me a month to even get good at putting mine in/out. It's just halloween, nobody's gonna see your eyes at night anyways. It's not worth risking your eye health--it won't blind you, but it will do some damage.
Colored contacts will not ruin your eyes if you take proper care of them. Colored contacts work the same way prescription contacts, they are just a little thicker. You just need to make sure you clean them right. My dad works at the Wal-Mart vision center, so I know they have colored contacts and they aren't just going to be some crappy ones. I don't know the prices, but I know it's not expensive.
