No if they're fitted: Properly and you don't have dry eyes. See your eye doctor for evaluation.

Responsibility : Contact lenses may be worn very comfortably & safely in many people. It is the responsibility of both the patient & doctor to assure that the contact lenses are not causing untoward problems on the eye surface. As a result of wearing them, planned scheduled appointments are necessary to recheck the fit of the lens, as well as ocular health. It is important to wear them only as prescribed.
