Can I swim or shower while wearing Dailies lenses?

It is generally advisable to avoid swimming or showering while wearing Dailies contact lenses. Dailies lenses are designed for daily wear and are intended to be removed before sleeping or engaging in water activities. Water, whether from a pool, ocean, or shower, can introduce bacteria and other microorganisms that may lead to eye infections. Moreover, water exposure can also cause the lenses to swell, leading to discomfort and compromised vision. For some types of Dailies lenses, such as those that have specific moisture retention features, there may be a limited capacity to resist such exposure, but it is still better to err on the side of caution. If you enjoy swimming, it might be worthwhile to consider wearing prescription goggles, as they provide safe protection for your eyes while enjoying water activities. Always remember to follow the instructions provided with your lenses and consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific concerns.
