Over the past few years, I've worn various brands of these lenses like Solothica, Anesthesia, Desio etc
All of these online brands coloured contacts are made of polymacon.
Polymacon lenses are made from a type of 80s hydrogel that's not as breathable as newer materials like silicone hydrogel.
This means that less oxygen gets to your cornea, which can lead to dryness and even more serious complications over time.
Eventually, I developed chronic dry eye, angiogenesis (ugly af) and had a couple of minor corneal abrasions. My optometrist told me that prolonged use of low-oxygen lenses like these was the cause which lead me to further research:
If you're thinking about using polymacon lenses, especially colored ones, I'd strongly recommend being cautious.
Make sure you get them from a reputable source (absolutely NOT from temu and similar), absolutely DON’T SLEEP IN THEM EVEN ONE SINGLE TIME and don’t exceed 6 hours max.
