Many people with myopia, or nearsightedness, have misconceptions about contact lenses. These myths often prevent them from trying a convenient option that could improve their daily lives. At Laria Eye Care we set the record straight around the facts and benefits of contact lenses for myopia.
Are Contact Lenses uncomfortable?
One common myth is that contact lenses are uncomfortable. This misconception likely comes from outdated experiences or stories about older lens materials. However, modern contact lenses prioritize comfort and eye health with their advanced, breathable materials. Daily disposable lenses, in particular, offer a fresh, comfortable experience without needing cleaning solutions, making them a convenient and beneficial option for myopia management.
Will Contact Lenses Make Myopia Worse?
Another myth is that wearing contact lenses will worsen myopia. In reality, there’s no evidence that contact lenses make myopia worse. Specific specialized lenses slow the progression of myopia in children and teens. This makes them a beneficial part of myopia management.
