Contact lens - pregnancy
Hi doctor
I'm 3months pregnant. I have sight of -5 both eyes. I use contact lens. I put it in the morning n remove at night.
As I'm pregnant, can I continue using lens or shall I use spectacles. Will usage of contact lens affect baby.
Thanks in advance.

Contact lens is wore on the outermost layer of the eye ( Cornea) so it has no ill effects on the baby. You can continue wearing them.
