What is the best PLANO colored contact lenses that don't damage your eyesight? I want to buy some contacts to change the colour of my eyes from time to time.
Air optix colors.How you care for them, and care for your eyes is still the most important thing. Don't over wear them, clean them regularly, just because there is no correction doesn't mean it's any different than normal. You'll still mess up your corneas.
How can you tell your contact lenses have expired?
If you mean an expiration date from the manufacturer, it is on the side of the box. For an individual use of a pair of contact lenses your doctor will tell you when you get them. There are several types that are commonly used. The monthly, two weeks, and daily. Many patients overuse their contacts as they are still comfortable but this varies by individual. Redness, dryness, and build up of little bumps on the contact are definite signs that the contact lens should not be worn. If you exceed the time recommended by your doctor your are likely to have problems that could be very serious as your doctor takes into consideration not only the lens but your particular ocular make up such as tear production.
Do I need to wear glasses to read while wearing my contacts?
Overtime your minus power may need to reduce to bring reading into focus! This phenomenon happens with the onset of Presbyopia! You will eventually need multifocal soft lenses and progressive eyeglasses!Last year was the 35th yr I wore contact lenses, But last year was when I started having difficulty reading as well! The past year of I've been straining my eyes but the power was still low! I had my distance correction reduced slightly to accommodate. Your eye doc will not prescribe near power if it's still low like in the beginning! you may just need a slight power reduction! For me it took 2 yrs for the reading to increase then at that point switched to progressive eyeglasses, multifocal rgp's and soft lenses!

Are contacts unsafe once they've come into contact with regular water?
Soft contacts can be contaminated with cornea eating ameobas found in non sterile water as well as other contaminants. They are also designed to be in tears which have a high salt content. Regular H2O tends to cause the lens to swell which can affect it’s fit. In most cases cleaning and disinfecting the lens will restore it to its original condition. Rigid lenses generally do not absorb water and can be rinsed off but should not be placed in the eye without disinfecting and cleaning first.
