What happens if i only wear one contact?

Question

i have contacts for both eyes. . .but one of my eyes got irritated so i took it out and kept the other one in because it wasnt bothering me and i wanted to be able to see ( i dont have glasses) will this damage my eyes? why or whynot?

Answer 1

It most likely will not damage your eyes, but it really depends on what kind of vision problem you have.  For example, uncorrected, I see 20/80 out of my right eye and 20/25 out of my left eye.  I have an astigmatism in both, but obviously the one in the left eye is not as bad.  I barely notice a difference if I don't wear my left contact, however if I were to go without my right contact, I would most likely experience headaches.

Answer 2

No, it will not damage your eyesight because it will not change the size or shape of your eyes.  It may give you a headache or eyestrain, though, as your eyes and brain try to focus on one clear and one blurry image.  You need to get a pair of glasses, though, as a backup for times when you can't wear contacts.

Answer 3

Is ok....sum ppl with lazy eyes does that. to correct the lazy eyes.
