Is it Safe to Swim with Contact Lenses?
Wearing contact lenses while swimming can lead to various eye issues, including infections, irritation, and serious conditions like corneal ulcers that could threaten your vision. The FDA advises against allowing contacts to come into contact with any form of water—this includes tap water, swimming pools, oceans, lakes, hot tubs, and even during showers.
