Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Using coloured contact lens is permissible as long as there is no harm for eyes. Some scholars see that avoiding its use is better since it is act of changing the nature created by Allah. Perhaps permissibility of its use is the right opinion. Allah knows best.
