Contact Lens Safety
Contacts are safe when fitted and worn correctly, risky when misused.
What to expect
A proper fitting, wear-schedule guidance, and hygiene instructions to prevent infection.
What the evidence says
Most serious contact-lens complications trace to poor hygiene or overwear. A professional fitting and follow-up markedly reduce risk.
Educational summary, not medical advice. Evidence evolves — discuss options with a licensed provider.
When to see a physician
Red, painful, or light-sensitive eyes while wearing contacts need prompt care — remove lenses and see a provider.
