Can you wear contact lenses for an MRI?

[Wtfnowseptember]

Just posting for traffic please 🙂. They are standard soft disposables which are handling tinted. Is this OK?

Ordinary lenses should be fine, but if you're not confident it would be worth checking with the department either before or when you go for your appointment. I wasn't asked or given advice about contact lenses when I had an MRI, but it wasn't one that included my head.

Ordinary prescription contacts, yes.

Coloured contacts - pretty much always no as a result of what they're made of.

If you're unsure there should be a contact number on your appointment letter, you can call and confirm.

Best call and ask the hospital.

they will also check with you before you go in, you will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Ive had several MRIs and have always had contacts in - never though about it actually.
