Are contact lenses safe?

I am tired using eye glasses. I want to know if contact lenses are a safe alternative.

Although there has been a lot of improvement in the use of contact lens since it first came into vogue, there are still some degrees of negative effects in the use of contact lens especially when not used correctly. The first issue with contact lens is that of inconvenience of use. Most of the other complications are due to poor hygiene and contact lens maintenance. People who wear lenses often don’t clean or disinfect them according to their optician’s advice, or do not have recommended annual eye checks. Once you can take care of these requirements, you have nothing to worry about.
