i have this friend who always use a contact lens for her reading purposes, she prefers to have it rather than having an eye glass or reading glass.. but as what i have heard they are not safe. is this true??
do you use a contact lens??
and as what you observe is it safe to use it daily?
thanks for the comments in advance..

hi jane. i have problems with my eyes so i have to wear glasses before. but when the problem got worse, an eye expert recommended to stop wearing the glasses. she never mention about contact lens, either. so i don't wear lenses also. i think it is safe, though i find some people stopped using their lenses. there was one guy who have lots of contact lens with different colors, so i guess it is.

yes, lens is more comfortable to others and it adds to your fashion statement

hi Jane, I wear glasses and wouldn't wear contact lenses mainly as I hate anything being put in my eyes even eye drops! Plus when wearing contact lenses sometimes I have heard that the eye can dry up and it is hard to get the lens out..also a friend of mine was out with me one day and her lens fell out! What a predicament cos she couldn't see what she was doing properly at least with glasses you can put them in a case and carry them with you wherever you go and having a spare pair is good too I always do that incase of mislaying where I go until I can go and get them again..LoLo

i hope it is more safer than the eye glass thing.. i had this friend also who always use a contact lens and i think until the next day and tired to clean it up so it ended to her infection and need to be operated because it was already damages, that's why now she wears dark shades to cover her damaged eyes..

every thing in the world has an advantage and a disadvantage, it all has a reason and your answer is one of the answers about contact lens.. sometime it's good for our personal interests and sometimes it's also bad specially for our health and can even affect our eyesight if it's not properly used..
