Abstract: Despite being aware of the complications associated with contact lens and the practice of hygienic contact lens wear, many medical faculty students still wear contact lenses. This study aimed to obtain the reasons of contact lens wear among medical faculty students. This was a quantitative and descriptive study with a cross-sectional design conducted through total sampling. Respondents were students at Medical Faculty of Universitas Sam Ratulangi that wore contact lens. A total of 83 respondents participated in this study. Based on age groups, there was a tendency for differences in reasons related to ease of access. Based on gender, there was a tendency for differences in cosmetic reasons and the perception that wearing contact lenses were more comfortable than glasses. Overall, the reasons for the respondents to use contact lenses revolved around correction of refractive disorders, cosmetic purposes, and as a substitute for glasses. In conclusion, respondents' reasons for wearing contact lenses tend to be related to correcting refractive disorders, cosmetic purposes, and as a substitute for glasses.
