The Dangers of Contact Lens Abuse: What You Need to Know

It is important that your optometrist continues to evaluate the health of your eyes in relation to wearing a medical device (contact lens) on the eye over a longer period of time.

There are also times where if enough damage has occurred from contact lens abuse, a contact lens prescription may be denied all together as it may be deemed unsafe. Having your eyes checked every year will allow your optometrist to carefully evaluate your eye health and ensure that contact lenses are still safe for you to use.

It is important to note that as children grow and develop, often their vision plays a large role in guiding their learning and cognitive capabilities. By having a yearly eye exam, your eye doctor can ensure that your child's eyes are developing properly and if not, guide them back on the correct developmental path.
