It does not matter if they are prescribed or not it matters about the quality. If they are low quality then they will irritate your eyes more than higher quality contacts. They might also rip more which means you will need to get them more often which can be very expensive.

Contact lenses hurt?

It hurts kind of because somethings in your eye and you CANNOT touch it! But after a while it does not hurt anymore!If it hurts, it's likely there is something between the contact and your eye. Take the contact out and rinse it with saline before putting it back in. Using cold saline feels awesome by the way. Make sure to take good care of your contacts and don't touch them after handling dangerous substances or spicy foods like chili peppers or onions.Also make sure they are inserted the correct way. Soft contacts can be worn inside out by mistake, and they do not fit the same like that.


Can I take a shower with contact lenses on?

It can be safe, but you should be warned and advised that you should limit the amount of time you wear contact lenses. My optometrist said that 6 hours should be the max. As a result of keeping contacts in for over 6 hours and wearing them longer than necessary, red veins can start popping up on the whites of your eye and you can have mucus-y discharge (all of this is from personal experience). I've also seen my acquaintances' eyes turn a light shade of yellow.


Does using contact lenses at a young age damage your eyes?

Yes because usually younger eyes tend to be a bit smaller than when you are older. It sometimes can hurt your eyes to try and put contact lenses in them, or they just might not fit! Hope I could help, Daisy567 -No it can not . It can just lead to a little higher risk to eye infection though . I got them when I was a few days before 11 . Just be responsible and be careful . Wash your hands , and learn how to put them on and take them off . Ask all the questions you need at the optometrist .

Does wearing someone's contacts hurt your eyes?

Each person has a unique eye shape and contact lenses are specifically fitted to an individual. If the contact lenses are too small, they will feel uncomfortable and tight and have the potential to rupture blood vessels in the eye or cause other, potentially serious, damage If they are too lose, they might fall out. Additionally, it is unlikely another person's prescription will work for you. Sharing lenses also increases the risk of spreading diseases. You have no way of knowing how hygienic someone else's lenses might be. If you need contacts, see an eye doctor and get a pair that are specifically made for you.
