Colored Contacts: general questions?

It's awesome that you are thinking about the health of your eyes! Kudos! The first think you need to do is get an appointment with your eye doctor. Colored contacts are just like regular contacts-- if they don't fit properly and if you don't have proper education how to take care of them, they can be very dangerous to your eyesight. If you don't want better vision, that's fine, you can get them in what is called "plano" prescription. Contacts do wear out, so you will have to get a new pair every 3 months-- this is because they build up debris and bacteria over the course of wearing. Changing the contacts when you're supposed to decreases your risk of getting serious sight threatening infections. You can wear whatever color contacts you want. Depending on the type of colored contacts you want, the price range can be all over the place. You can get a box of 6 lenses for $80, or you could spend up to $250 on one pair if it is a designer type.
