Myths and misconceptions might boost your fear of wearing contact lenses. Most of these misconceptions can be related to the fear of the unknown.
Watch the videos below where different people share their fears, and their great experience in wearing ACUVUE® Contact Lenses.
Many, including Amy, have often wondered ‘are contact lenses uncomfortable?’. Unlike some early contact lenses, most modern contact lenses are thin and soft, making them more comfortable to wear. Many are made from moisture rich materials, offering comfort throughout the day1.
That’s physically impossible. There's a membrane covering your eye that connects inside your eyelids, preventing anything from getting behind your eye, including a contact lens.
People of all ages can wear contact lenses. If after the age of around 40 years you find yourself needing reading glasses, there is a suitable contact lens alternative for these too, meaning you don't have the hassle of putting on glasses to read.
Your finger doesn’t need to touch the eye when applying and removing contact lenses. Often it just feels like a drop of water when placed on the eye.
As long as you keep to the replacement schedule, care instructions that your optician provides you with and go back for regular check-ups, contact lenses can be a healthy vision correction option.
