Is vision correction riskier than contact lenses?

Contact lenses can be a hassle. You need to clean and store them; if you’re not careful, you can easily break them. They can also damage your eyes.

Not only are contact lenses a hassle to care for, but they also come with some inherent risks. If you don’t clean them, you could get an eye infection. Not only this but if you lose or damage your contacts, you’ll have to go without them until you can get a new pair. For these reasons, contact lenses are much riskier than vision correction surgeries.

Vision correction is a safe and convenient alternative to contact lenses. With vision correction surgery, you’ll never have to worry about cleaning or storing your contacts.
