Can people with myopia wear colored contact lenses?
Disease description:
I've been nearsighted for a while, but I don't want to wear glasses. I'm not sure whether I can wear colored contact lenses. May I ask if people with myopia can wear cosmetic (colored) contact lenses?

Nearsighted people can wear contact lenses. Cosmetic contact lenses (colored lenses) are a type of contact lens; nearsighted individuals can achieve normal corrected vision by wearing prescription lenses. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an eye examination to determine the appropriate eyeglass prescription. The prescription strength for contact lenses should be approximately 25 to 50 degrees lower than that of eyeglasses. Additionally, there are specific requirements for wearing cosmetic contact lenses.
