How risky is it to wear contact lenses?!

If they are properly cared for, the risk is minimal!. As far as messing up your eyesight over time, that is an urban legend!. That urban legend has been propagandized by people who consider contact lenses to be "vanity"!.

To correct moonlight, you can't "easily" get corneal ulcers unless you fail to care for contacts properly, or are otherwise really irresponsible with them!.

People who wear contacts are actually less likely to have their vision issues progress over time than people who wear glasses, because contacts cover the whole visual range and glasses don't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
