Drinking then sleeping with contact lenses in?!

Question: Drinking then sleeping with contact lenses in?

So last night at 18h00/6 PM I put in both my contact lenses and got utterly smashed. I literally can't remember what happened last night, and when i got home i only removed one contact lens; I left the other one in for about 10 hours while I slept. So I got really smashed and left one contact lens in for 20 hours, and sleeping for 10 of those hours. The eye that I left the contact in is now a little red, and I put some eye drops in. Should I go see an eye doctor?

Answers:

no you'll be fine. if its still irritated in a couple days maybe call the doctor and see what they say. im lazy so I leave my contacts in for two or three months at a time. sometimes taking them out for a couple days if my eyes hurt. nothing serious had come from it.

It depends, what kind of contacts are they? There are kinds of contacts that can be worn overnight. The red eye could be from the contacts being dry. Nevertheless you should see an optometrist to make sure you don't have any problems after keeping the contacts in for so long.
