As long as the novelty contact lenses are fitted to you properly and you take good care of them, they are safe to wear. Novelty contact lenses are sometimes called cosmetic contact lenses with different colours, patterns and looks available. No matter whether you need prescription in your lenses, you should go to see a doctor to have your eyes examed so that the doctor can make novelty contact lenses that are fit specifically for you.
