The only issue I have seen so far is that constantly exhaling onto your eyes dries them out and can make them more prone to minor infections. Happened to me, doctor told me to not use contacts for a bit and take mask breaks once in a while. Outside of that, medical professionals wear masks all the time. Nurses are often subjects of medical studies because they are an accessible caprice audience. I know of no known cases of mask wearing being a bad thing.
- sn41 5y agohmmm... thanks for that anecdote. i have been having dry eyes since last year... i thought it was age. But maybe I should try taking breaks when wearing masks.
- IgorPartola 5y agoArtificial tears are of great help as well.
- nicoburns 5y agoConsider getting a mask that seals over the bridge over the nose. Bonus: this will also be much more effective at protecting you.
