A member asked:

I wore contact lenses during ct scan, is it safe for eyes? no one aked me do i have lenses.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: Contact lenses are not metallic nor magnetic, and so should have no effect during a CT scan or an MRI scan. People generally do not take out their contact lens just for a CT scan or an MRI scan.
