Is it bad if you take naps with contact lenses on?

Question

I always take a nap during the day after work, I'm just so tired that I don't even have the strenght left to take out my contacts. I only nap for about 10-40 minutes. Is it bad for my eyes? If so, how bad?

Answer 1

No its just bad to sleep with them on, I sleep with contacts on (medical treatment) just make sure you clean them really good.

Answer 2

It can dry out your eyes and make them feel uncomfortable, but it's not going to cause any real damage.

Answer 3

try keeping some eye drops by your bed and put a drop in before you nap, this will help keep them from drying out. or when you wake up put the drops in, it wont hurt to nap in them but they can get dry

Answer 4

No, but it's better not to. If you put them away while taking a nap they'll last longer. Plus, in my opinion its more comfortable to nap without them in.

Answer 5

Yes, oxygen is being block from going in.
