Question about contact lenses?

Question

I currently wear glasses and I'm thinking of getting contacts but I just heard that wearing contacts doesn't give your eyes the oxygen it needs so glasses are better for the eyes. Is it true?

Answer 1

yup, your eyes don't get oxgen thats why they say take them out every night i take mine out about 2 hours before i go to sleep wearing contacts is alot of responsibility

Answer 2

If you get the right contact lenses your contacts should be fine, also they have lubricating drops to put in your eyes in they get dry.

Answer 3

Well, your eyes do not get as much oxygen, but if you wear them the way your doctor tells you to, you will not be harmed by them. I am 44. I have worn soft lenses since I was 15. My eyes are really healthy, but I clean them and I take them out when I am supposed to and I also let my eyes rest and get some oxygen in the mornings and at night before I go to bed. I also go a day or so a week with my glasses on and give the contacts a total rest. I have no problems at all.
