I have a few questions about willd eyes contacts?

Question

i saw these sic contacts at wal mart and on the internet and i thought that they where just the coolest things. i asked my mom if i could get a pair and she said absolutly not because she didnt want me putting anything in my eyes if i didnt have to. see her dad was an eye docter and she had seen tons of people permadently damage theyre eyes from contacts, most of them going blind. i was wondering if that was a very common thing or shes just freaked cause she saw so many because of her dad. :S

Answer 1

Hey

Your mom's dad is an eye doctor. Go see him if your eyes need prescriptions then you can get contacts.

Answer 2

Well, most people dont go blind from contacts, but I can see your mom's point.  That is not my business.  One thing I would like to let you know though, Wild Eyes are EXTREMELY uncomfortable!  They are really irritating.  I have a few patients that get them every year for Halloween and can only use them that nite. And these are regular contact wearers.  You did not mention how old you are.  I would strongly suggest that NO ONE wear contacts before they are at least 15.  I know some will disagree, but it is just not a good idea.  No matter how much we instruct patients, the younger ones always seem to overwear them and that can lead to horrific problems.  I would speak to an Optometrist and get their opinion.  And not Walmart, sorry, they are all about making a sale. And DO NOT buy contacts over the internet.  There is a huge percentage of companies on the internet that sell contacts cheap because they have expired!
