Yes, they can be safe when fit and used properly. And yes, they can and do cause infections. Follow your knowledgeable and experienced doctor’s recommendations. Unfortunately, sometimes those infections can cause permanent vision loss. Any signs of redness, pain, blurry vision or anything unusual call your doctor immediately. Other options to consider that are also safe and effective are glasses and laser vision correction such as LASIK if you are a candidate.

All the best to you!
