Which do you think is more likely: that your friend is an expert on contact lens matters, or that she may be trying to discourage you from getting colored contacts because of jealousy. I'll bet if you offered to pay for her to get some colored contacts it would be a different story.

Experts at http://www.coloredcontacts.com/ told me that if colored contacts were that dangerous we would hear about a lot of law suits but we don't.

Hi, color contacts are so much fun! And they will definately not harm your eyes more then the clear. I just ordered some new colored contacts I am getting freshlook colorblends true sapphire. I read a fact recently that only 3% of all contact wearers have color contacts. Wow ! I suggest getting colors.

Colored contacts won't cause any more damage than clear contacts as long as they fit right, are kept well cleaned and disinfected properly , and not worn longer than they should be.

Which applies to all contact lenses.

They are the exact same as normal contacts, just with an extra colour.

They won't damage your eyes anymore than normal contacts.

If you want to be certain, ask your optician.
