Is it safe to wear contacts while swimming

Question

swimming in a pool with chlorean

Answer 1

it should be fine just dont open your eyes under water

Answer 2

as long as you don't get any water into

your eye, it's good! :)

the reason why you shouldn't wear contacts while

swimming without goggles is that your contacts

will absorb the chlorine and other nasty stuff

from the water and it'll stay in your contacts

until you get new ones. basically, since your

contacts absorbed the chlorine, your eyes are

gonna be constantly in touch with the chlorine.

wouldn't that be irritating? :)

hope this helps!  

Answer 3

Yes, if your wearing some really good goggles. Like competition goggles work really good, even if your not in competitive swimming. Plus, there much small compared to other goggles. And without goggles, it just depends, i doubt that its good to do it. Because I've done is before, but at times nothing ever happens, but other times my eyes get really really irritated.

Hope I helped!
