Answers:
yes, you can temporarily affect your Rx (make it "worse") by sleeping in them!. low oxygen causes corneal EDEMA which will result in a myopic shift!.

so!.!.!.yes!. sleeping in them can make you "worse", at least temporarily (once the edema resolves you should go back to how you were!.!.!.but chronic sleepers stay "worse" chronically)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi
I have monthly contacts too, and have slept in them before!. It doesn't ruin your eyesight however you can get an infection and it stops oxygen getting to the cornea!. Over time it can irritate the eye and make it dry too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it can't make your vision worse but you can get an eye infection, have really badly dry eyes, or scratch your eye in your sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can actually get blindness from sleeping in your contacts!. Trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
