Dailies Contact Lenses

Is it safe to wear my Acuvue Moist daily disposable contact lenses overnight?

I am out of contact lenses until Monday and am currently wearing my last pair. Can I wear them overnight without any problems? I don't own a storage case for the lenses since I only wear daily disposables. I need them in tomorrow when I play a round of golf and wax my SUV. I will be wearing them overnight! Thanks!

1. I've had mine in for 16 months. No lie.
2. i personally wouldn't. theres no possible way for you to obtain a container and some contact solution?? when i slept with mine in it really hurt to take them off the next day
3. wearing any kind of contact lense isn't safe. but all of them have the same change of falling behind your eye, which is a rare case. i wouldn't recommend sleeping with yours in overnight, but i have slept in with them & what i can say is that it feels HORRIBLE when you wake up with them. it just a really annoying feeling. i wear acuvue oasis with hydraclear. what you can do is put your lense in a baggie & fill it with water. it will feel irritating when you put them in, but your tears with lube it up. i had to do this many time because i forget to bring my case & solution when i stayed the night at a friends house.

4. no. its not safe. i have contacts and they get ruined when i accidentally sleep in them. if you have eyedrops/solution for them you should put some of that in a bowl and put each contact in a bowl and cover them in plastic wrap while you sleep
5. It's fine to have them in for a day or two. I wouldn't make this a regular practice. If you have some replenish, put your contacts in a little container overnight filled with it. If you have blinkblink or ClearEye, I would take advantage of that too. Leaving contacts in feels like I suffocated my eye...it's like dry eye. You'll be fine, though, just make sure you keep them clean and don't sleep with them in.
