A contact that is not the right size for your eye can scratch it and damage it, causing infections and ulcers of the eye. These contacts also have a higher risk of doing that b/c they are larger and might slide around your eye. And, since they are not FDA approved or regulated, you never know if you're getting a good, clean pair of contacts. Not worth it!

Anyway, there are plenty of other colored contacts that tend to have a slightly large diameter with and without limbal rings that would give a larger iris effect. (Venus brand contacts, for instance).

Hope that helps =)
