What happens when you wear your contacts while swimming?

Question

I know you can get infections, but what else?

Answer 1

you can TOTALLY wear contacts while swimming! i have them and i go swimming with them. just be careful not to open your eyes underwater but otherwise its fine!

Answer 2

There's a pretty decent chance you're going to lose your contacts if you so much as BLINK underwater.  I'd take them out for the duration, if I were you.

Answer 3

They float onto the back of your eye.

Answer 4

Yeah, you can wear them swimming, but you might lose one.  I have worn contacts for over 15 years and wear them swimming b/c otherwise I can't see. I try to keep my eyes closed when underwater.

Answer 5

Lol not much, except that maybe u will lose them. Best to take them out whilst swimming :)
