How safe are extended wear contacts lenses (silicon)?
Jul 16, 2013

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
Extended wear contact lenses are safe relatively to the brand of the contact lenses. Extended wear contact lenses (newer ones) allow more oxygen to reach the cornea. You should check for the FDA-approved brands and check with your optometrist/ophtalmologist.
