What happens when you close your eyes too long while wearing contacts?!


Question:

What happens when you close your eyes too long while wearing contacts?

I started wearing contacts about a month ago. I know that you're not supposed to sleep with them on, but what really happens? Do they roll into the back of your head? Because that is my biggest fear right now. Also, sometimes on road trips, I fall asleep for about an hour in the car. Will something bad happen to my eyes if I'm wearing contacts that day? All answers are appreciated. Thanks everyone!


Answers:

nope, nothing horrible happens--but you're not supposed to sleep in them cuz there's a slight chance that they may irritate your eyes and screw up your vision,but thats only if you are sleeping with them for like a very long time--like a day or so,
but there have been many instances when i have fallen asleep for like 10-15 mins, and the only thing is that your contacts feel really dry and sticky and well they move around, so it took a while for me to adjust my contacts back to the right place. If you do happen to fall asleep in your contacts, remove your contacts and apply the lens solution to them so they can become moist again. BUT THEY DO NOT ROLL BACK in your eye or w/e, thats impossible cuz of all the nerves and stuff connected to your eye, so dont worry about that.

And dont wear your contacts during road trips so you easily relax and go to sleep for as long as you want,
