What will happen if I sleep in my contacts?

Question

I always end of falling asleep and never take my contacts out. Well, maybe once or twice a week. Will I go blind if I dont start taking my contacts out?

Answer 1

Usually your eye doctor tells you if its approved for night wear or not. Mine are.

Answer 2

you will get bless from your god.

Answer 3

depends on the kind of contacts they are...probably dry eyes though.

Answer 4

Well my sister did that a couple of times and she got a permanent scratch on her eye. When my sister did that she had to go straight to the eye doctor. The eye doctor had my sister put these drops in her eyes. Her eye would ich so bad, but she couldn't scratch her eye bc it would make it worse! That was one of the worst times of her life. It was about 8 years ago, and she still has a scratch on her eye!!

Answer 5

I slept in my contact once by accident and then I had to get eye sergury because my eyes had such a infection and ended up going blind for 2 weeks. DONT SLEEP WITH THEM CONTACTS IN!!

Answer 6

u will see the back of your eyelids better

Answer 7

Perhaps.  I know someone who did this chronically and ended up with a condition called iritis which was very painful and hard to treat.

Answer 8

corneal abrasions, giant papilllary conjunctivitis, dry eye, neovascularization, and not being able to wear contacts again

Answer 9

I did this once because i forgot. I had them stuck on the top once i woke up. It took me a while to get back to the front and take them out. They were a bit dry and had to use eye drops to help bring them back out. Now my eyes are always red, needing to use eye drops all the time. So i recommend never do that again.

Answer 10

you can sleep in contacts your fine just put your solution in before you go to bed even if you forget that... put it in in the morning... there are contacts that you can wear for a whole month.. its totally easier not to change them everyday!!!!!
