As a user of soft contact lenses for 10 years, yes it is. Using a lens that is anything less than perfect can lacerate (scratch) your eye, causing potentially irreversible damage. Even if the damage done is minor, it still hurts worse than just about anything you can think of, causes major light sensitivity and will keep you from sleep... worst week of my life.

∙ 16y agoIt depends in the circumstances. Some people only need to wear one contact lens. If you are supposed to wear two, you really should wear both. If you lose one, wear glasses until you can get another. The danger involved in wearing only one lens when you should be wearing two is dependant on your prescription. It can cause disorientation and headches.
