WORK, SPORTS, and Other ACTIVITIES
There has been considerable
controversy over the wearing
of contact lenses in work
environments where accidents
might happen such as from
flying particles or chemicals.
Studies have indicated that
wearing of contact lenses
under these conditions does
not constitute an increased risk.
In many cases contact lenses
(rigid and soft) have decreased
the severity of ocular injuries
in such accidents.
HOWEVER, CONTACT LENS PATIENTS MUST BE WARNED TO WEAR THE APPROPRIATE EYE PROTECTION AS WOULD AN EMMETROPE!
