COVID-19 and CONTACTS


What Contact Lens Wearers Should Know

When it comes to eye health, Dr Brian and Dr Kenneth Boyer want to keep you up-to-date on the most accurate and helpful information.  Contact lens wearers in particular may be wondering if they should be handling their day-to-day health differently, in terms of preventative measures and daily usage of lenses.  We have included practical information below. 

CDC Guidance on Contact Lens Use

The CDC has offered the following guidance on safe use of contacts during the COVID-19 pandemic:
  • Currently there is no evidence to suggest contact lens wearers are more at risk for acquiring COVID-19 than eyeglass wearers.

  • Contact lens wearers should continue to practice safe contact lens wear and care hygiene habits to help prevent against transmission of any contact lens-related infections, such as always washing hands with soap and water before handling lenses.

  • People who are healthy can continue to wear and care for their contact lenses as prescribed by their eye care professional.
