Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2021 to February 2022 in a study period of 3 months. This study was carried out at The University of Faisalabad and Madinah Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad. The sample size was of 150 patients in this study. Data was collected by convenient sampling technique. Inclusion standards were 15 to 30 years old, and both genders (male and female). In this study soft contact lens user wearing duration since one year of two types (daily wear and extended wear). Results:- Mean ± Standard deviation is 24.59 ± 2.284 years. 86% and 84% were self-confidence and feel delighted. 92% were complimented while 90% were socially comfortable and 86% were working easily in their lives. Only 13% felt difficulty in sports and 18% had difficulty in wearing and removal of contact lenses. Contact lenses were affordable for 76% of subjects. Only 9.3% had eye allergies and 20% were going for routine eye exam for contact lenses. Contact Lens Quality of Life has good psychometric qualities. To summarize ocular and visual effects further composed of parameters that concluded as there were less than 30% of contact lens users with visual symptoms. It is concluded that subjects who were fitted with soft contact lenses, their quality of life was improved.
