Which one is more hazard to having potentials eye damage ? Wearing glasses or wearing contact lens.??


Question: my little brother is planning on getting contact lens,but a asian doctor said it's bad for your eye health.
Answers: Glasses are much safer, unless your brother plays sports like squash, rugby etc then he would be better of wearing soft contact lenses.


Contact lenses will make the eyes cornea less sensitive overtime. Contact lenses can also cause infections.
Clearly someone wasn't paying attention, or their optometrist is a quack (previous answer).

Glasses, correctly prescribed cannot hurt your eyes.

Contact lenses shouldn't, but they are touching a very delicate organ, and therefore there is a risk of scratching, infection etc if care instructions are not followed to the letter.
Wearing glasses, they make your vision worse. Contacts slowly over time help your vision.They detoriate your vision.
Well that asian doctor is completely right.
Contacts are worse for you because you're touching a vital organ and you can cause tissue damage, also can cause infections. Glasses on the other hand just get in the way.
