Is it safe to wear contacts during the COVID-19 crisis?

The answer is yes! According to the CDC, currently there is no evidence to suggest contact lens wearers are more at risk for acquiring COVID-19 than eyeglass wearers. The most important thing is that contact lens wearers continue to practice safe contact lens hygiene habits to help prevent against transmission of any contact lens-related infections, such as always washing hands with soap and water before handling lenses.

In addition this,

  • Disinfect Contact Lenses. Contact lens wearers should either dispose of their daily disposable lenses each evening, or regularly disinfect their monthly and two-week lenses according to manufacturer and eye care professional instructions. My preferred disinfecting solution is Clear Care.



  • Glasses are Not Proven to Offer Protection. There is no scientific evidence that wearing glasses provide protection against COVID-19 or other viral transmissions.

Stay healthy out there!
