Acuvue TruEye Product Recall Answer
Can children wear contact lenses ? Answer
Can I go swimming or surfing with contact lenses? Close
Daily contact lenses are best for this. In salt water the contact lens can become dehydrated and therefore begin to feel “tight”. If this happens simply add some rewetting drops such as Refresh or Blinks this will help to extend your wear time. If swimming in a chlorine pool please remove your lenses when you come out, the chlorine molecule is small enough to permeate into the lens material and irritate your eyes if left in.
