Is there any disadvantages using ortho K contacts?

[XxhitmanXx]

My vision is bad, but not a complete problem in terms of boxing. I been boxing for a month and I’m 16. I want to get these types of contacts, but I can’t find anything about them used for boxing. Wondering if I’m good enough for pros later on, then am I allowed to used them? Since there is nothing in my eyes like regular contacts. I can’t waste months if I get a eye surgery and not even at that age to get one.

Higher risk of eye infection.

Also the ortho k lens will squash your eyeballs, surely that’s dangerous in the long run?

Most amateur fights allow soft lens to be worn, safer, and a good fitting one won’t get knocked out of place

^^^^I agree, would not wear those for danger fears.
