Is it important to wear swim goggles? Yes, the number one feature of goggles is to protect your eyes. The water in swimming pools is filled with chemicals that keep it clean and sanitary. Chlorine is the most commonly used chemical that can often irritate the eyes. A common reaction to chlorine is to have red and itchy eyes.
Seawater not only causes pain on your eyes, but also it can lead to swollen corneas or bacterial and viral infections.
For contact lenses, it is not recommended to wear contact lenses in the water.
Wearing contact lenses could run risk of getting bacteria in your eyes, which can lead to an infection.
Chlorine and salt water can dry out your contacts, making them extremely difficult to remove. If you do decide to wear contacts, please consider wearing goggles to help protect your eyes.
