If I have been told I have pigment dispersion syndrome, can wearing contacts cause this to progress or add to the problem?

Answer:
Pigment dispersion happens when increased amounts of pigment (the material that gives the eye’s iris its color) circulate abnormally in other parts of the eye. This is usually harmless but occasionally associated with elevated internal eye pressure and blurry vision after vigorous exercise. Most people who have this issue are myopic (nearsighted) and contact lenses are often used to correct the vision with good success. There is no relationship between wearing contact lenses and any aspect of pigment dispersion, so you may wear contact lenses in this condition without worry.
