Contact lenses are a great non-surgical option for many people who wish to be free of glasses for various reasons such as enjoying an active lifestyle. However, it is imperative that your optometrist or doctor is consulted if you start to notice problems such as redness, irritation, discharge or discomfort. Contact lenses can be associated with dry eyes, allergies and even infection which may present initially as intolerance or irritation. If you have had an infection from contact lenses, you are at high risk of having another infection which may lead to blindness. You may wish to consider refractive surgery to reduce that risk.
