If you’ve relied on contact lenses for an extended time, it’s possible to develop some form of contact lens intolerance.
As a teenager or college student, you may have contact lenses in for hours and hours and have no problems or discomfort. However, as you age, you may find it difficult to make it through an entire workday. What gives? Let’s take a look at the issue now known as contact lens intolerance.
