Quite possibly. Colored lenses aren't good for your eyes as they are made of poor materials that don't let much oxygen through - the modern high oxygen materials don't let things stick to them so can't be colored.

You're also wearing them too long so getting even less oxygen. You need to have a checkup and see what the state of your eyes is - then probably get a different type. You would be much more comfortable with one of the modern lenses - assuming you need them to see and not just for the color.

Firstly it sounds like you haven't had these fitted by an optician. It is dangerous to wear lenses without being checked by an optician even if you dont' need glasses and its just for coloured lenses. This is because your eyes need to be fitted. If you just took a random pair of shoes off the shelf they wouldn't be good for your feet would they? Lenses are teh same.

Now I don' tknow what you mean by the lenses being worn out, but lenses can look and feel fine and be dangerous to wear. This is because all lenses stop as much oxygen getting to your eye. Your eyes need oxygen to stay healthy. Without enough oxygen your eyesight can be permanently damaged. As a lens gets older it lets less and less oxygen get to your eye. This is worse if you wear the lens for a long time.

You need to stop wearing the lenses. If you want coloured contacts then go to an optician , get your eyes properly fitted and follow the rules carefully. This will be more expensive but contacts can damage your eyesight if you don't. How much is your eyesight worth just to have different coloured eyes? If you notice anything odd at teh moment you should have your eyes checked whether or not you want to carry on wearing lenses.
