and transparent contact lenses are less harmfull for eyes as compare to coloured ones..?

an eyespecialist strickly forbid me to wear coloured ones..he said its very harfull..never wear ever again in whole life…:frowning:

Re: coloured contact lence

Ive never heard such a claim before in my life. I live in the UK and opticians here never stop patients from wearing coloured contacts. I myself wore coloured contacts for 3 years continuously and my eyes are still fine. Unless the ones in pakistan have something wrong with them like milaawat of some sort. =S

Re: coloured contact lence

i bought my last 5 (all colored) lenses from pakistan and been wearing them for 9yrs now mujhey to kuch nai huwa!

Re: coloured contact lence

i wear a green and blue one since i was 2, no problems so far. your doctor is stupid.

Re: coloured contact lence

acutally, some optometrists who are willing to not toe the coporate line and have the balls, will tell you that contact lenses aren't the best thing for your eyes and one should minimise wear time if they are going to wear them at all. this goes for sight lenses.

and yes, coloured are worse for the eyes.

in my experience, optometrists will only say this if they have started to notice signs of damage in the eyes.

Re: coloured contact lence

the damage usually begins at the outer layers, so i would stop doing that if i were you before going blind...

dear sir, i suggest you stop doing* the thing* that will make you go blind. thank you, goodbye.

Re: coloured contact lence

Re: coloured contact lence

i'm sure you've had plenty of practice rubbing it the right way.

/confused

wat r u guys toking abt?

as for the lense question i really dont know i did wear contacts on my mehndi n valeema but twice is not enough to give anyone some valuable insight

Re: coloured contact lence

rubbing the outer layers of your eyes with hard contacts on, llxxll. dont do it even if its so tempting to at times.

Re: coloured contact lence

ok thanks what abt if you have soft lenses

Even my khalu who's an eye surgeon warned us not to wear lenses (we wanted to wear them for my sister's wedding)

There's no smoke without fire..

But that doesn't put me off lenses :D: I'm still going to try them at least once in my lifetime!!

Re: coloured contact lence

I had enough with lenses. I used to wear coloured contact lenses but i stopped wearing them last year, not because they are "dangerous" as some people claim here but because the problem with any type of lenses is that you can't wear them for more than 8 hrs (i think it's either 8 or 10hrs, can't remember). That's exactly what i hate.

Re: coloured contact lence

actually my eyeside is weak so i wear coloured lenses with eyesight no....
he just asks me not to wear coloured ones with eyesight no..

even he said girls not having weak eyesight and they wear coloured ones just for fashion ,just to change their eyeball colour they should stop wearing coloured ones tooo..they are extremly harmull that they have no idea...

plus he said i can comfortably wear transparent eyesight lenses ...no harm in it
transparent ones are safe....
