Keeping your contacts in at night?!
Question:
Keeping your contacts in at night?
i talked to some of my friends and they say that they do not take their contacts out at night & sleep with them -- does that harm your vision? if so, how?
Answers:
It depends on what kind of contacts they were. For most contacts, if you wear them for too long or wear them while sleeping, it will hurt your eyes. Nothing serious should happen, but they'll probably get red and hurt until you take them out and leave them out for a while. If you sleep with them in, they can be really hard to remove when you wake up. I accidentally fell asleep with my contacts in once for a few hours, and when I woke up my contacts were practically stuck to my eyes. I had to call my doctor and go there to remove them, even though it is normally very easy for me to remove them myself.
