I surf, swim and play water polo. Would contact lenses be suitable to wear for these sports? |

Are contact lenses comfortable and easy to wear for sport? |
|
For most people, contact lenses are extremely comfortable and easy to use. Mostly, soft disposable contact lenses are used and all of these are made of very soft flexible materials that contain a large percentage of water to allow the eye to breathe and to aid in comfort. |
