Can I Sleep With My Contact Lenses In?
/No, unless they’re made for it.
Most contacts aren’t safe to sleep in. Overnight wear can cause:
Red, dry, or blurry eyes
Higher risk of infection
Serious issues like corneal ulcers
One night is enough to cause problems.
The Exception:
Extended wear lenses are made for overnight use, but they still carry risks.
Always check with your eye doctor first.
Forgot and slept in them?
Remove them ASAP
Let your eyes rest
Use eye drops
Call us if you have pain, redness, or blurry vision
Bottom line:
Take your lenses out before bed, your eyes will thank you!
