Daily Contact Lens Wear Poses Long-term Eye Health Risks, Slovak Doctor Warns

Wearing contact lenses every day from morning to evening is not a natural state for the eyes and poses potential long-term health risks, according to Slovak eye doctor Veronika Kurilová. The ophthalmologist responded to a 29-year-old patient who wears contact lenses practically daily, only removing them for a few hours. While contact lenses provide optical freedom as a medical device, continuous daily wear can create problems for eye health over time, the doctor cautioned.
