Rumor: Contact lenses should not be worn during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Fact:
Contact lenses can be used as long as they are kept clean, said Ye Jian, an ophthalmologist of Daping Hospital in Chongqing municipality.
Before putting a lens into an eye or taking a lens out, one should sterilize their hands. But in cases where someone shows symptoms, such as coughing and eye discomfort, or has contacted with an infected person, stop using contact lens, and go see a doctor.
