Contact Lenses are great if you like playing sport or have an active lifestyle. This is because wearing contact lenses is a much more stable and flexible form of vision correction than eyeglasses. So in fact contact lenses are highly recommended if you are very active or into sports.
Soft contact lenses are the usual choice of athletes and sports men and women. They are easily replaced and give good vision correction even when wearing masks or other sporting gear that can interfere with normal eyeglasses.
The only sport where soft contact lenses are not recommended is swimming.
So the short answer to this question is of course yes, it is safe to play sports while wearing your contact lenses. For some sports like golf, cricket etc, it is even recommended.
