You cannot wear contact lenses during pregnancy because the sensitivity of the cornea will decrease during pregnancy. Although this has nothing to do with the increase in corneal thickness, it will affect the corneal reflex and the function of protecting the eyeball. The curvature of the cornea will also change during pregnancy, which will be more obvious in the late pregnancy. The change in the curvature of the cornea will make the glasses that were previously suitable become inappropriate. This phenomenon will return to normal six to eight weeks after delivery.
