Unveiling the Truth"},"content":{"rendered":"

While it may be tempting to wear your regular contact lenses while exploring the underwater world, you need to understand the potential risks involved.<\/p>\n

When scuba diving, water can come into contact with your eyes, increasing the chances of infections, irritation, and even vision damage. Contact lenses can trap bacteria and other microorganisms against your eyes, leading to discomfort and potential eye infections.<\/p>\n

If water gets between your contact lens and your eye, it can also cause the lens to move around, resulting in blurry vision and discomfort. Additionally, the pressure changes underwater can affect the fit of your contact lenses, making them less stable and potentially leading to discomfort or even loss of the lenses.<\/p>\n

Considering these risks, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing contact lenses while scuba diving.<\/strong><\/p>\n
