How bad is it to wear a torn contact lens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncomfortable: A torn lens will be irritating and it may not center well so the vision is less clear. It is simply not optimum but probably not harmful in and of itself, although such a lens will decenter and cause discomfort.
