Is it okay to wear contacts all the time except for going to sleep?!


Question: Is it okay to wear contacts all the time except for going to sleep?
Answers:

If you are a young teen especially , you should be giving your eyes a break from the contacts more often than that.

You should be removing them an hour before bed, and taking a whole day a week off from them if you want to wear them that long on the other days.

7 Days a week , morning until bed is over wearing, and leads to problems.

So, the simple answer to your question..no, it isn't okay.

Optician



Bottom line is definitely NOT. Speaking as someone who did this ( in the days when optiicans said wear as long as you like provided they are comfortable) the long term results are just not worth it. What happens is that your eye doesn't get enough oxygen and you get little warning this is happening as as a side effect your lenses are more comfortable. First you'll notice is that your eyesight isn't perfect. At that point it may be too late - you may have permanently damaged your eyesight. Best outcome then is weeks worth of pain, being without contacts or a decent perscription for glasses. That was what happened to me and I was lucky. there is a possibilty that your vision will never be fully correctable again even with glasses, you may be unable to wear contacts again or you may have severely reduced wearing time . the occasional day overwearing isn't an issue but doing it all the time is.



Hey.. U gotta be careful with ur Lens.. See to it that u wear it no more than 12 hours a day.. When its over that time, ur eyes will become dry and u can wash ur eyes again and rinse the lens with the given solution and then wear it... Its not recommended though..

Wear Lens only to work or for Skool.. When ur at home, uses glasses.. Even though Lens look kinda stylish, it may cause problems if u don't use it properly..

U also have to remove them when u shower..
So, Basically, yeah, u gotta take lots of Precautions and Care.. Ur lens Box should be filled with new solution every 2 days.. And yeah, u have to soak ur lens in the solution for at least 6 hours before u can wear them again..! and Blah Blah Blah... :P

Don't worry.. It just takes practice.. Take Care.. :) Its nothing we CAN'T handle..



Yeahh as long as you wash them and give your eyes a rest before you go to bed for about 30 minutes . That's what I do



No because you have to exercise your eyes or you eye sight will become worse
