Can I wear these contacts if I have an eye conditon such as cataracts or glaucoma?

Eye doctors do say it is okay to wear contacts even with eye conditions as long as you do not have dry eyes or severe irritation of the eye. They do suggest you stop wearing contacts at about a week before or after Cataract surgery.


Why does your eye hurt after wearing contacts?

Your eyes should not hurt after wearing contacts. In fact you shouldn't even feel discomfort! You need to wear your contacts less and glasses more. Also get some more sleep. Your eyes shouldn't hurt after wearing contacts. The first time when you wear contacts, your optometrist is suppose to give you a trial pair. If there was any discomfort during the follow-up appointment, (the week after you said you wanted contacts) then he/she will be giving you another brand and another until the optometrist ran out of brands to give you to try in his/her office. Then he/she would tell you that you can't wear contacts at all (never happen)

Why do your eyes burn after taking out your contacts?

If you're new to wearing contacts your eyes may burn when you take the contacts out. Increased oxygen to your eye can create the burning or stinging sensation. As your wear contacts more regularly your eyes will adapt; if they do not become used to the contacts and your eyes still burn after a week or two, go and see your optometrist or ophthalmologist.

When is a good time to get contacts?

I started wearing contacts when I became more active. It's a pain not to see well when you are traveling and contacts are simple. However, I have been wearing them for a year and seeing without them is very different. After using contacts for a long time your eyes will get used to a clear world and not wearing them makes everything look blurry. Your vision probably hasn't changed, you are just not used to it. I wouldn't recomend contacts for first-time glasses users because their eyes are probably already good.
