Even if your contacts are "extended wear", and you have been told that it is ok to sleep in them, you should know that sleeping in your contacts increases your chances of developing a serious eye infection 10 fold. Bacterial keratitis can cause scarring in the front part of the eye or lead to blindness.
When used properly, contact lenses are great instruments for vision. Just remember to take good care of them and your eyes:
- always clean contacts every night
- replace contacts as scheduled
- do not get in a swimming pool or sauna while wearing your contacts
- if your eye gets red, uncomfortable or painful, see your eye doctor as soon as possible.
