Are there contact lenses you can sleep in?

Even if the packaging says you can sleep in them, I would be extremely careful, especially if you have high blood sugar. Diabetics are much more prone to eye infections and slow healing. Please check with an ophthalmologist first.

Honestly, don't do it. Even if some brands claim you can sleep in them, why take the risk with your eyes? Just take them out before sleeping, it takes barely two minutes and saves you from massive infection issues.

I tried using rose water and cold compresses for months to soothe my dry eyes, but the real issue was sleeping in contacts. Even the ones meant for sleeping can block moisture. Do yourself a favor and stick to daily disposables.

Hey, I used to fall asleep in my lenses all the time and my eyes would get so red and dry the next day. Yes, extended wear ones exist, but my doc told me it's always safer to remove them daily. It's just not worth the irritation!

There are extended wear lenses designed for overnight use, but doctors usually advise against it. Just like our body needs fresh air and good nutrients to function, our cornea needs oxygen. Sleeping with lenses blocks that flow.
