How long should I wear Contact Lenses for every day?!
Question: Hello!
I have DaySoft Daily Disposible contact lenses, and I have been wearing contacts for just over a month now.
I wear them for around 15 hours a day.... from 08:00 to 23:00. They are usually comfortable for this amount of time but I have heard it is not good for your eyes to wear them for so long.
Anybody have any knowledge in this subject?
Thanks

Typically, it's not good for your eyes to wear them for as long as you have. Your eyes, like every other part of your body, need oxygen to live and stay healthy. I would suggest wearing them while you are at work/school. After you eat dinner, you should definitely take them out. It's not healthy for your eyes if you wait until you are ready to go to bed to take out your contacts. When you do this, your eyes aren't getting the oxygen they need because when you sleep your eyelids are shut. If your eyes don't get enough oxygen, it will cause your eyesight to worsen and cause severe stress on the blood vessels in your sockets. These are not good things. I would suggest taking them out shortly after dinner time and wearing your glasses (if you don't have any, order some) for the remainder of the evening until you turn in for the night. Make sure you are soaking them in a disinfecting solution at night to clear the lenses of built up proteins.
u should probly try n wear them for a few hours less!
15 hours,it's not good for your eyes.you can use only 8-10 hours.
the very long first answer is correct.
but i am here to say, i do as you do.
i wear them from when i get up through work and when i get home/working out.
i dont like to wear my glasses, but your eyes do need to breathe which is why it is suggested by many eye docs to take them out when you get home, put a few drops in, and put your glasses on.
for me, its just easier to work with, then i get home and i DO NOT like working out with glasses, which is why i wear my contacts.
you should change your contacts more often, but really were supposed to wear them only when needed, other wise they make your eyes worse because they will depend on them.
hope i helped !
