Can I open my eyes underwater if I have contact lenses in?

It works best if you put them on, then tape ur eyes with tape, so that it won't fall out!!!!!!!!

Yes, the colour of the eyes can change by using contact lenses. I don't know if it can change by a physical way.

I have worn contacts, and found them to be most comfortable.  You cannot tell they are in there and with a little practice can get the hang of easily putting them in.  I used to feel the same way, thinking I would never be able to touch my eye.  Also just to let you know, my Grandmother started wearing contacts around 65 and to my knowledge never had aproblem.  She is now 71.  I think you will do fine.

If you dont use goggles .. then the daily contacts is the only thing you should use in the water.. especially in pool water, because contact absorb chlorine and can damage your eye.. \n\nAs long as you use dailies and dont really open your eyes too much under water.. youll be fine\n\nI swam for a long time with goggles and contacts and had no problem

I believe you are asking if hard contact lenses can improve your vision beyond when they are in your eyes as opposed to if they work for vision correction.  Nothing can permanently correct your vision other than surgery.  While theoretically hard contacts can push on your eye enough to change its shape and therefore theoretically change vision, once you remove them, the eye will assume its normal shape pretty quickly.  But, it's probably not a good idea to push on ones eyeball, which is why those hard contact lenses are so rarely used these days.

Hi, \n\nThis is simply because your contact is on a bed of water, on your eye... DO NOT WASH AND THEN PUT BACK IN YOUR EYE!! THIS CAN LEAD TO BLINDNESS!!\n\nSimply use the special spray that you would have been given... Can I ask do they fit or has your optician made an error?\n\nThanks!!\nHope that helps...

if the eye drops are not made especially for contacts,that could be a problem. you should go without them all you can, to allow oxygen to get into your eyes.buy glasses for the weekends,and give your eyes a  break...try this... buy one bar of cediphil soap,and use  it untill the bar is gone. this soap is dr. recomended. by the time you use it up, and wiyhout using your old brand,or letting anyone else even touch your bar of soap,use on entire body. the best way to keep a check on your progress,is to just watch your hands. you will see your hands start almost emediatly, looking younger and smother. this is probably the last kind of answer you were looking for, but for just under four dollars ,you can find out. i hope this works for you.even if this don't  stop your itching,i'll bet you stay with the soap.{one more} , and then i'll go.everyone in the household should have  his or her private bar of soap.never share!   hope this helps!

Please DO NOT wear your contact lenses in either eye if even one of your eye is red.\n\nIt is again not possible to wear contacts in only one eye as this will affect your stereopsis and u may land up having confusions and very very annoying vision esp while driving when u need a lot of concentration.\n\nIf your eyes are red, discontinue the lenses and consult your doctor immediately\n\nZubin J\nOptometrist

I find that too.. I am pratically blind, but when i swim I only need contact to see the clock.. underwater i feel fine\n\nbut it depends on the goggles.. some make you see crazy reflections.. because of the periferal blocking

Eye infections are very serious. It's your eye. You don't want to go blind do you? Infections can cause so many problems, especially in something you really need. Go to a doctor, you need antibiotics and eye drops. Prescription ones. Don't put your contact lenses in, until the infection is gone. If they caused it you could be allergic to them, or they could have something wrong with them. You really need to see your doctor, so you can see your doctor later on. Good luck.

There aren't many side effects of wearing contact lenses - you're more likely to have problems if you get laser eye surgery.\n\nWith contact lenses, your eyes can get tired. This is often caused by less oxygen getting to your eyes than normal, but as long as you give your eyes a rest for a day every couple of weeks, you're fine.\n\nContact lenses can change the shape of your eye - sometimes they can correct an astigmatism just by being on your eye - as the eyeball is 'sucked' towards the contact lens. However, this is a reversible change, as your eyes just 'get used' to the contact lenses, and if you stopped wearing them, your eyes would be fine again.\n\nWith disposible contact lenses, you won't suffer any of the effects of dirty lenses (assuming you dispose of them every day) - if you have longer term ones, then you have to be careful to clean them properly, otherwise you can get eye infections.\n\nWearing contact lenses generally means that you will touch your eye more, and you have to make sure your hands are clean when you touch them, else you are risking minor eye infections.\n\nAnd of course, when you get a bit of dust in your eye, the lens can push it against your eye, meaning it hurts more, so you have to be careful not to rub it and scratch the eyeball.\n\n**However** having said all of that, I've worn lenses (rigid gas permeable, supposedly the hardest to wear), for 11 years now, and having worn glasses from the age of 6 till 17 when I got my lenses, I can say they make a big difference - you don't have to wear glasses, and don't get that whole misting up of glasses, and you can wear sunglasses, and don't get the glasses marks on your nose, etc. Altogether much preferred!

probably be like looking through a kolidascope oohh ahhhh\nbut seriously had an errant shot go off one time and yup filled the ole eye socket right up humurous but stung (no contacts)

You probably could, but other than the feeling of sadness, you wouldn't be able to see or hear it.  The water from your eye would just blend with the surrounding water.  Did you feel like you were crying underwater once, but couldn't tell, and that's why you're asking?

Your eyes will be red in the morning. cause the contacts are not getting any Oxygen they become dry. and this will make your eyes hard to open in the morning.

rain will not wet your glasses any more, it feels kind of good.  You can't swim under water with your eyes open very much, they may wash out, but not always.  some real fine dust may ruin them, but usually they keep the crap out of your eyes.  If it is hot and dry, the wind may make them wrinkle up and you either have to wet them or you can't see and it hurts..  They float on the fluid on your eyes and don't touch them at all.  Sometimes they get dirty and blurry and you have to clean them. Steam from cooking will not bother them.
