Can you damage your eyes by leaving contact lenses in?!


Question: I only take my contacts out every two weeks to change them. I am supposed to take them out every night but I dont. Will this hurt my eyes or effect my vision?

Duh...have you been living under a rock, Sarah ?

Of course you can damage your eyes...very seriously.

You HAVE to take them out every night...you are lucky you haven't developed a corneal ulcer yet.

If you want to be able to wear them for several more years, stop abusing them now !

yes it could, your eyes will get too dry

Yes it will hurt your eyes. My friend always left them in and eventually her vision was getting worse so now she only wears glasses.

yes because when you leave them in without leaving them in the solution for about 6 hours proteins can build up and you can get an infection in your eyes

yes. u will get an infection.. ur suppose to take then out everynight. if u sleep with them in.. they wont get stuck up in ur eye, cuz u have a like a blocker up there. so its immposible.. but u can get an infection.

Yes, damages includes long term eye health will be reduced, redness will set in thus showing that lack of oxygen occurs. Dryness will also be experienced. Do remove ur lenses everyday.
