What's the risk of contacts in sports?

• mikeash 10y ago
  Nothing to do with sports, but contacts in general carry some risk due to things like eye infections.

    I have similar setup. For contacts I use "Dailys". They are more expensive but lesser risk of infection. And these workout almost cheaper for those who use contacts occasionally.

    Not with proper use. General recommendation is to wear contacts for 10, sometimes 12 hours in a 24 hour period and use supplemental glasses for the rest. Also clean them daily and well. Sleeping in contacts is also a big no-no. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a decent amount of anecdata that people don't really adhere to the guidelines.
