Are day and night contacts bad for you?
A reader asks, “I’ve recently heard about some contacts that you wear all day and even overnight, so you really don’t need to take them out before you go to bed. Are this okay to wear or should I just stick with standard day contact lenses to be safe?
The good news is that all tests and reports show that these are okay to wear. Now it’s just the same with things besides contact lenses, that if you overdo it, and don’t balance it out then it can cause problems. I’ve seen studies that were done by several third party companies and offices that really eased some of my main concerns about them. I wanted to make sure that when I was wearing them at night, my eyes could still breath.
I mean, during the day, my eyes are open, they get oxygen. But at night, if my eyes are closed and I’m wearing contacts it seems like my eyes might be suffering by not getting enough air in. This is not the case as was reported by me so my concerns were duly noted and addressed!
So if you were anything like me and kinda worried about how it would play out, don’t be. Just make sure the extended wearing contact lenses you get are going to be high quality and they are designed to be slept in. Ultimately as the manufacturer and just to be safe run it by your eye care specialist and you should be good to go!
