No, not necessarily.

There are two types of contact lens: cosmetic and vision-assisting. Vision-assisting lenses are the kind used to help people see, and work very much like a pair of glasses. Wearing these when you don't need them can have similar effects, as your eyes adjust to work with them, eventually needing them to focus properly.

Cosmetic lenses are the ones people wear for fun, to give themselves dofferent coloured eyes, etc. These will not affect your vision, and are safe for everyone to use.

However, regardless of the type, they must be always sterilised and taken out when sleeping. Simple care instructions are usually given with the lenses.

If you're new to wearing contacts your eyes may burn when you take the contacts out. Increased oxygen to your eye can create the burning or stinging sensation.
