Prolonged wear of decorative (cosmetic) contact lenses may cause eye discomfort, including soreness, dryness, and a foreign-body sensation. It may also increase the risk of bacterial infection in the eye, potentially leading to conditions such as conjunctivitis or keratitis. Additionally, long-term use of decorative contact lenses can result in corneal hypoxia, thereby increasing the likelihood of visual impairment.
