What are the dangers of wearing colored contact lenses?

I am planning to get some colored contacts but my mother told me it will damage my eyes. Is that true? What are the dangers of wearing colored contact lenses?

It is hard to tell. I can neither say that wearing colored contact lenses are free of risks nor tell you too dangerous to wear. Before i wear contact lenses, an optometrist tell me that contact lenses will hurt my cornea thus to cause many problems. But, you know, there are still many people wearing colored contact lenses and seems nothing happen. Nevertheless, i still saw some new online that someone get eye hurt with long time wearing contact lenses. So, If you like it, just wear it properly sometimes.

Colored contact are suitable for people who don't need vision corrections. Most people wear colored contact lenses for cosmetic purpose. However, never share contact lenses with others, or it will increase the risk of eye infection. When you choose colored contact lenses, make sure they fit your properly. If you choose colored contact lenses that are not suitable for your eyes or you use them in a incorrect way, it can cause serious problems, including corneal ulcers and eye infections.
