The only way any contact will hurt or be uncomfortable is if there is something on the lens, or if they aren't fitted for your eyes properly. All contacts are really comfortable once your eyes become adjusted to wearing them, which can take up to 2 weeks for some people.
I wear the Freshlook Dimensions, and they do seem a bit thinner than many of the other contact brands out there (colored or clear), but other than that, I never notice any discomfort or anything. You should be fine as long as you keep the contacts clean, and change them like you are supposed to.
FYI, if you do get colored contacts, you will not see things in color. The colored part of the contact is only on the iris area...the pupil area is clear, and your pupil is what you use to see with.
If you're interested in getting colored contacts, make an appointment with your eye doctor. After your exam and fitting (if your current scrip has expired), the eye doctor will let you try out trial pairs of colored contacts, and that way you can see how they feel for yourself.
Are you talking about the cosmetic ones? Like purple, snake eyes, etc? I bet these are more uncomfortable, because it's probably just plastic, not made by real optomitrists. However, tinted contacts from a opitcal exam center are the same, they just tint the lenses. Mine are blue, but that's because my eyesight is SO bad, that if I drop it and it were clear, I'd never find them! The blue helps them stand out for my eyesight.
I've worn regular corrective contacts for decades, both hard lenses and the newest soft ones, and I've worn both clear and colored. I've never noticed a difference in comfort level due to color. The above poster is right, though - the cosmetic lenses are different and are often problematic.
Ask your opthalmologist. Maybe there's a chance that some might be supersensitive to the regular lenses.
Well, today, I got a sample of hazel and brown of Freshlook Contacts to try since I am interested. When I got home to try them on, I noticed that the lens was thinner, stickier, and not as rounded as a normal one. One time, it slipped to my eyelid after putting them in. Oh well, they still look great!
Not really, but the material do play a part in whether the user feel comfortable wearing it. fitting also.
I don't know what would make them uncomfortable, but I would say it takes away from your vision. That would be like walking in a place and seeing the same color everywhere. They should feel the same as a clear contacts. Just make sure hat the outer side of the contact is tinted, not the inside. Now that might make them feel uncomfortable. Talk to the eye Doctor, he will know for sure.
