Contact lenses and Corona

I wear gas permeable contact lenses which I love, love, love! But encountering a bit of dust can be very painful, making me automatically cover my eye with my hand, maybe use my finger on my eyelid, making me tear up and wipe around the eye with the back of my hand if I'm not holding a tissue, etc. So I decided to give up my contacts until things get (hopefully) back to normal. Yesterday, when I spoke with my ophthalmologist, she said I was her first patient to realize this and that, yes, it was prudent. She also told me that people who wear soft lenses are especially at risk because those lenses absorb stuff in the atmosphere. Just thought I'd pass the word.
