Question

I woke up and i could see really clearly. I imediatly realized what i did and took out my contacts and put in eye drops. this was the first time i've slept with them in. Is anything wrong? will i be fine as long as i don't do it again??

Answer 1

Calm down! Sleeping with your lenses in is perfectly safe, but is not recommended by most doctors because it increases your chance of infection. My doctor recommends that I take them out atleast once a week and clean them. Other than that, it's safe to sleep with your lenses in.

Answer 2

Yes, the eys has been deprived of oxygen. And it is very dry after long hrs of wearing. Try not to sleep with lenses. it is bad for the eyes.

Answer 3

You'll be fine. My fiance does it sometimes when he's just too tired and forgets. Nothing to worry about, just don't make it a habit! :)

Answer 4

It's okay. I sleep with my contacts in whenever I have a long day. There's nothing to worry about, but don't do it to often.

Answer 5

It's perfectly fine, and you did the right thing by taking them out when you realized what had happened. I asked my doctor about it (I'm pretty forgetful) and she told me just to try not to do it very often.. and to do exactly what you did when I wake up in the morning.

Answer 6

I think you will be fine, i think your not suppose to leave your contacts in so that your eyes can get some air. If you are really worried wear your glasses tonight.

Answer 7

A lot of contacts are made to sleep in they're called extended wear lenses. I have those and I sleep in them all the time. Even the regular ones are somewhat made to be safe in case you do, so don't worry about it.

Answer 8

you'll be fine

Answer 9

they will be fine, just make sure they don't dry out.
