Yahoo! Life quoted Lernik Torossian, OD, FAAO, assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology, on factors to consider when choosing contact lenses.

“Not all contact lenses are suitable for every individual, especially those with astigmatism, and switching brands without proper discussion, guidance and evaluation can lead to discomfort, dryness, blurred vision or even increase the risk of eye infections,” said Dr. Torossian. She suggested if you’re considering a switch to make an appointment with your eye doctor first. “This ensures you get the proper fit and vision correction. It’s essential to prevent complications.”
