Can I go swimming while wearing contact lenses?

As long as you keep your eyes closed, all will be OK. If you open your eyes, you risk the lens floating off your eye.

I've swum in my contacts for 40 years in the sea and pools. However since soft lenses came out I swim in dailies although normally I use fortnightlies. This is because there is an increased infection risk and its better to throw them away at the end of the day. This is agreed with my optiican by the way.

I've never had a problem with lenses swimming, they've never fallen out, or created any issues and I've swum in rough seas and snorkelled in them. Its one of those things for which lenses make a big difference. Just be careful on the infection front.

I wear contacts and you should definatly not wear them swimming if ur eye sight is really bad in water you may want to consider lazer eye surgery x

They will be unharmed but if you get water in your eyes, sometimes it might feel like they are going to fall out. Just rub your eye until it is positioned correctly

A lot of people on my swim team wear contacts while swimming. Its ok and you won't loose them. Although you might get a sty so becareful

I'm on a team and i wear prescription goggles, i've never tried without goggles though,

If your eyes are closed and yo avoid splashes you should be okay.

ugh, i think it's dangerous!
