well i've noticed a few people around my school with these gorgeous deep blue/green/teal color eyes. once i ask them about it, they say it's certain contacts they use that have a tint in them. i think they're eyes are like absoluely beautiful and i was wondering would it be safe for me if i started using contacts to get the same affect. i have 20/20 eye sight and i don't want to mess it up! Right now, i have green eyes, but i really want them to stand out! I was wondering if it would be safe to wear contacts the whole day, everyday, but only for visual affects (nothing that helps eye sight). also, whats your opinion on this? do you think this looks cheap and fake? thank you for your advice!
mistywasgreat answered Friday January 12 2007, 7:05 pm: yeah it will be totally safe!!!
i have them with 20/20 eye vison just tell teh eye doctor you don't want them for sight just for the visual affect
an it will only look cheap if it doesnt match like your skin color like if you really tan an you get bright blue or soemthing that would look tacky
if ur tan you should get hazel green or something
if your pale piercing light gorgeous blue would look uh-mazing
hope i helped [ mistywasgreat's advice column | Ask mistywasgreat A Question ]

If you follow these simple rules, your lenses will be no threat to the health of your eyes.
1. Obtain an eye doctor’s prescription before ordering your color contacts. Even if you don’t need vision correction, you need an eye doctor to select the lenses that would be best for you
2. It is cheaper to order your color contacts online than buying them from your doctor, but make sure that you order from a reputable contact lens retailer
3. Don’t wear your color contacts continuously for too long. Most color contacts block the flow of oxygen to your eyes. This is usually not a problem, though, if you wear your lenses only for 8-9 hours at a stretch, but any longer than that could cause problems.
4. Never sleep wearing your lenses - this is the most dangerous thing you can do, in terms of eye health. If your eyes don’t receive enough oxygen for days on end, then you are sure to suffer inflammation of the corneas. Some color contacts, like Acuvue 2 Colors, are FDA approved to wear for up to 7 days straight. However, many eye doctors agree that it is better not to risk your eyes even with the best quality color contacts
5. Don’t swim or shower wearing your color lenses. Firstly, it is very easy to lose a lens in the water. Secondly, whenever water gets into your eyes it creates favorable conditions for bacteria, putting you at risk of infection
6. Make sure you clean your lenses properly, and always keep your contacts in soft contact lens solution. You shouldn’t rub your color contacts while cleaning them, because it may damage the color. So it is best to use a no-rub multipurpose solution.
7. Never share your color contacts with other people. It might be very tempting to exchange color lenses with a friend but, unfortunately, it is a sure way to pick up an eye infection.
Color contact lenses are fun. As the saying goes, “The eyes are the mirror of the soul”, and it is amazing how much different eye colors can transform your appearance. Caring for your color lenses isn’t hard work - people who wear color contacts every day report that it takes them less than a minute to clean the lenses and put them in - so you should always follow the safety rules. If you do, then color contact lenses will bring you only joy, with no troubles.
