When the eyes get used to the colored contact lenses, the wearing time is 6-8 hours. People who wear colored contact lenses for a long time are more likely to suffer from eye fatigue than normal people, and sometimes dry eyes. The eyes will feel sore and have a foreign body sensation. Sometimes the eyes will have a burning sensation, and the vision will be blurred, there will be a lot of eye mucus and dry eyes.

Moreover, if colored contact lenses are attached to the eyeballs for a long time, it will cause a decrease in corneal perception. If eye diseases occur, many people cannot detect symptoms in time. Colored contact lenses will also absorb tears on the surface of the eyeball, causing blurred vision and other problems. If colored contact lenses are worn carelessly or for a long time, causing corneal abrasion, it will also have a huge impact on vision.

3. May cause lesions

If you wear cosmetic contact lenses for too long, the cornea will be unable to breathe and its metabolic capacity will decrease, thus causing the eye's resistance to decrease. During the wearing process, cosmetic contact lenses will absorb tears from the surface of the eyeball and deposit on the surface of the lens, sometimes causing bacterial growth, corneal edema, allergies, bloodshot eyes and other problems. Long-term wearing of cosmetic contact lenses will wear the cornea to a certain extent and cause corneal ulcers. This vision loss is irreversible. The consequence of long-term wearing is accelerated corneal aging, and you will most likely not be able to undergo any eye surgery in the future.
