Muchos buzos usan lentes de contacto sin problemas durante sus buceos. No obstante, es fundamental estar al tanto de los posibles desafíos, como mayor sequedad o irritación debido a factores como aire seco en la máscara de buceo, uso prolongado, sobrepresiones o compresiones de la máscara o exposición al agua salada.
