Can anyone where contact lenses?

Nine out of ten people who want to wear contact lenses can wear them; however, there are some people for whom contacts may not be as good of an option as glasses or another vision alternative. Some of these people are:

• Those who are very susceptible to eye infections.
• Those who experience severe allergic reactions.
• Those who have problems with dry eyes.
• Those who are around large amounts of dirt, dust, or smoke.
• Those who need special help for their vision problems.

If you are interested in wearing contacts and are not sure if they will work for your eyes, just check with your optometrist or ophthalmologist about any problems that you have ever had with your eyes. You may even be able to try out a sample pair and see how you do with them.
