Can I wear these contacts overnight?

Asked 6 months ago
No, it is not recommended to wear these contacts overnight. Wearing contact lenses for extended periods, including overnight, can lead to various risks and complications. Overnight wear prevents the cornea from receiving necessary oxygen, increasing the risk of corneal swelling, infections, and other potential problems. Extended wear lenses are available on the market, but these typically require specific approval from an eye care professional. It is important to follow the recommended wearing and replacement schedule provided with your specific lenses to maintain proper eye health. If you are unsure about the appropriate use or duration of wear for your contacts, consult an eye care professional for personalized advice.
