Can contact lenses be worn if the eyes are sensitive or tender?
No. Contact lens wearers should adopt a responsible attitude to lens wear. This is best performed by the principle of “Look Good, See Good and Feel Good”. Verify after inserting the lenses that your eyes Look Good – they appear white, that they See Good – close each eye and ensure you can see normally, and Feel Good – blink after insertion and confirm there is no discomfort. If you fail any of these tests it would be prudent to remove the lenses and clean them. If upon reinsertion they persist to irritate then discontinue wear and consult your eye care practitioner.
