What are the pros and cons to having contact lenses?

Question

Do they hurt? Are they hard to put in? What's the risk for infection?

Answer 1

Pros: You look better (but depends, some folks look great in glasses)

They don't get wet when it rains.

They don't get dirty.

Cons: Despite what is advertised and what some folks say, it is best to take them out at night. Those 30 day and overnight kind cut off the oxygen to your eye, which isn't good. You'll find tiny blood vessels growing to your iris to supply extra nourishment. If you were them along time straight, your eyes look bloodshot.

They'll go dry if you wear them all day.

Your eyes get more irritated than without contacts.

I say the pro's outweigh the cons, at least for me. It's always a good idea to get a pair of glasses also as a back up, since some people's eyes are less tolerable than others.

Answer 4

Nobody sees them

Easy to use

Cons:

Can't wear them when swimming

Contacts don't hurt but they sometimes bother some people. They are hard at first to put in but then you get use to them. It is all up to you wheather you get an infection or not. As long as you clean them and store them properly and wash your hands when taking them in and out then you are good! Hope this helps
