Wearing contact lenses does not usually increase the possibility of an eye injury, but it also does not guarantee any protection from the eye hazards that are posed by the workplace environment. In workplaces where chemical fumes are emitted, consult with a professional as contact lens safety should be judged on a case-by-case basis. The safety benefits of contact lenses can include providing a better field of vision compared to eyeglasses. Individuals with high-powered lenses are even less likely to have visual distortions when they wear contact lenses. Also, contact lenses allow for easy fitting of protective eyewear on top. Before you plan to wear contact lenses in your workplace, check the safety policies of the organization. Reach out to your eye doctor to find out if wearing contact lenses at the workplace is a good idea. A discussion with the employer, along with your eye doctor could prove to be very beneficial for the safety of your eyes.
