Dailies Contact Lenses

is it OK to sleep in disposable contact lens?

The type you throw away everyday I make last till next day as they are expensive and I admit I am too vain to wear glasses.I wash my hands really well when I change them.

1. You probably shouldnt sleep in them if theyre not overnight. Why dont you change to a two week or monthly lens?
2. Well, I don't have contacts, but my friend did and her eyes got al bloodshot and she said they hurt.
3. Well, I've been wearing contacts for 4 years. I've slept in mine since I got them. I've never had any problems except waking up and the contacts being very dry. In that case I just put some solution in my eye and I was fine. But on the other hand my friend tried the same thing and he had to have a doctor remove the lens from his uppr eye lid. so It is really up to you, do you want to take the risk?
4. Depends on the type of your contacts. Your eye dr can tell you about some of them. There are two kinds that I know of right now that you wear constantly (24/7) for 30days and then replace. One is called "Night and Day" I think that Focus makes them. Talk to you eye dr about them if you want to wear them. My dr says they let your eyes breathe better (your eyes do need oxygen too).
