Yes, contact lenses are safe when used as prescribed by a qualified eye doctor. In fact, the FDA has approved contact lenses for many years. The most common reasons for rejection of contact lens prescriptions are improper cleaning, or lack of care or attention to instructions. The FDA also requires that all contact lenses must be approved by the FDA before they can be sold in the United States. A contact lens prescription is valid for one year and then must be renewed by your eye doctor.
Advantages of contacts:
- Convenience—No need to remove your glasses every time you want to see clearly.
- Comfort—The soft plastic lens rests gently against your eye.
- Concealment—Contact lenses can be worn in any color of eye shadow or mascara without showing through on the surface of the lens. This is especially helpful if you have light eyes and want to wear dark eye shadow or mascara without having it show up through your lenses.
Disadvantages:
- Cost—Contact lenses can be expensive because they require special solutions and solutions may need to be replaced every few weeks depending on how often you wear them (some solutions last longer than others). Also, some people experience dryness with contact.
Contact lenses and eyeglasses are both great for your eyes, but each has its own advantages.
Contact lenses are an excellent choice for people who want to wear a specific type of eyewear but cannot find a frame that fits them well. They also have the advantage of being able to change their appearance instantly by switching lenses (for example, going from a tinted lens to clear). This is something you can't do with glasses.
Another advantage of contacts is that they don't require any special care beyond proper cleaning and disinfecting—you simply put them in your eyes and wear them! Eyeglasses, on the other hand, are more complicated because they require frequent cleaning and maintenance. They also need to be replaced more frequently than contact lenses do.
