Who Should NOT Wear Contact Lenses?

Most people who need vision correction can wear contact lenses, but there are some exceptions. Some of the conditions that might keep you from wearing contact lenses are: frequent eye infections, severe allergies, severe dry eye (improper tear film), a work environment that is very dusty or dirty, and inability to handle and care for the lenses properly.

Whether or not contact lenses are a good choice for you depends on:
Individual needs and expectations.
Patience and motivation during the initial adjustment period to contact lens wear.
Adhering to contact lens guidelines for wear, disinfecting and cleaning.
Diagnosis and treatment of conditions that may prevent contact lens wear.
