Can fake contacts hurt your eyes?

Yes, wearing fake contacts, or decorative contact lenses that are not prescribed by an eye care professional, can potentially harm your eyes. They may cause discomfort, reduced vision, and increase the risk of eye infections due to improper fit or lack of proper hygiene. Additionally, if they are not made from safe materials, they can lead to more serious complications, such as corneal abrasions or even vision loss. Always consult an eye care professional before using any contact lenses.
