How long can I wear my 1 day contacts ?!


Question: How long can I wear my 1 day contacts !?
I just got them and the optician said I can only wear them for 6 hours the first day even though they are 12 hours lasting!. I want to know because taking them off during school is a hassle!. So, if I wore for longer then 6 hours would anything happen to my eyes!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Most people are told to only keep them in for six hours the first day because your eyes need to adjust, but if you are going to be at school I am sure an extra few hours will not do any harm!.!.!. just take them out when you get home!. You might want to bring solution,your case, and your glasses just in case they start to hurt or get dried out!. After that first day you are good to go and don't have to worry (but I always keep a travel size bottle of solution and my case in my purse just in case!)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah you can wear them all day!. I had the same thing where I was only supposed to wear them for 4 hours and then take them out!. I wor them all day and was fine!. Everybody I know has done that!. They just say to take them out after so many hours because, some people have a hard time adjusting!. I would bring your glasses to school with you just in case you have that problem!.

If your eyes are not used to contact lenses they can get irritated and red!.
If your wore them longer than you where supposed to and nothing happened you are fine!.

One bad thing that can happen is I a person does not take his or her contact lenses out when he or she should, but keeps them in for to long is that the cornea of the eye does not get enough oxygen!. The eye tryes to compensate by growing little veins into the eye!. This is not harmfull, but does not look so good!.

This only happens after prolonged misuse, so don't worry :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I first got my contacts my eye doctor (who happens to be my grandfather) said that I should take them out after 6 hours!. I ended up keeping them in for a whole day and my parents got mad at me so they told my grandpa!. But he didn't reallly care!.!.!.he said the 6 hour rule is just becuase SOME people's eyes need to get used to the contacts!. Don't worry about it!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One day!. You are a new contact lens patient and they usually start you our on 6 hours and then add a couple each day so your eyes can get used to the contacts!. If you can wear them for the day it won't hurt you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

start wearing them in the weekend, so you can wear them 6 hours only!. then start wearing them 12 hours a day!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
