Is it ok to sleep with contacts in?

Question

they are the soft kind not the hard glass ones

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

if you have the right kind.  better if you don;t though

Answer 3

there are some brands you can sleep in - acuvue oasys, focus night and day.  the best thing to do is call your eye doctor and ask. if your lenses aren't approved for sleeping, your eyes can't get enough oxygen and can cause a lot of problems - the blood vessels in your eyes can actually start to grow over your iris, which could lead to blindness.  everyone is different, so don't trust someone who says, "oh i do it all the time." i've seen people who have no problems abusing their lenses, others who get chronic infections, and others who actually give themselves a high prescription and astigmatism from it. Just call your eye doctor and ask!

Answer 4

no , it's not okay , you deprive you cornea from oxygen , it try to get it other ways which are all hazardeous on the long run , take good care of ur eyes please .

Answer 5

no. its not. one time i did sleep with them and when i woke up i was like...wait a minute..why is everything so clear? lol then i remembered i slept with them. It took me a while to get them off cuz they were like glued to my eyes!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

no, butif you forget, you shouldn't have problems

Answer 7

sorry guys i have to disagree.

ive got contacts and i sleep with mine in for like a mth at a time. the only thing i do is take em out, give the a bit of a clean, and stick them back in.

even the eye doc said it was ok, maybe for not that long. they do have contacts that you can sleep in, also swim with and have no problem. but if you find you are having pain, then see you eye doc..

Answer 8

NO! Sleeping with contacts in your eyes could prevent your eyes from getting enough oxygen. Blood vessels could burst as a result causing pain at the very least and blindness at the very worst.
