Contact lenses are convenient and widely used—but wearing them incorrectly can lead to serious eye problems.
Sleeping in non-extended-wear lenses, not washing your hands before handling them, or using expired cleaning solution can increase your risk of infection. Overwearing lenses or ignoring discomfort can cause corneal damage or even long-term vision issues.
It’s also common to ignore replacement schedules. Lenses are designed for specific durations, and stretching their use can backfire.
Be safe: follow your optometrist’s instructions and listen to your eyes. If they’re red, dry, or irritated—take a break.
