Colour Lenses are not recommended for full time wear or long hours. They are a cosmetic product and should only be worn for special occassions. Lenses that have moderate to high prescriptions are usually quite thick due to the extra colour addition and therefore do not allow enough oxygen to penetrate to your eye. For long term eye health, new generation clear lenses are usually prescribed and recommended!
