If you use contact lenses from a good brand there will be lesser chances of problems. The following points have to be followed while using contact lenses:
1. Dust must not fall in your eyes when you are using lenses.
2. You must not wear them 24 hrs no matter what anyone claims. It is advisable to use them for maximum 10 hours continuously
3. Better to use monthly disposable lenses
4. Cleaning the lenses daily with a good solution is a must.
