Are colored contact lenses safe?

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Hi I am 27+ and almost 2 years ago I was diagnosed with PVD in both eyes. I have floaters in both eyes, and by god's grace no other issues, touchwood. I am also -2 myopic. I wanted to know whether wearing colored powered contact lenses occasionally, say twice to thrice a month safe for me. If yes, then the type, daily disposable or monthly ones, safe brands and precautions I should take. I highly appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

Yes they are safe if not used for more than 6 hours at a stretch. Daily disposables are recommended. Bausch and Lomb lenses can be used.
