sleep with contacts for a couple of hours?
sleep with contacts for a couple of hours?
hi there, wondering if u guys sleep with ur contact lens just for a couple of hours? cuz i was thinking i might on the tour bus since it takes a couple of hours. but im worried that something might happen? care to share experience? hee
Erm, they could easily get stuck onto your eye, and then comes the painful task of "flushing" them out!!! I wear contacts quite a bit, but I refuse to wear them when I know I'm going to be sleeping. I've had a bad experience in the past, didn't lead to any operations or anything, but it was very difficult to get the said contact out of my eyes without the need of utilising my entire bottle of contact lense solution! They get dry easily.
My advice, stick to glasses on the trip. That's what I'm doing. Flying for 15 hours, definitely using glasses

Re: sleeping with lens on....
It depends on your body. Whether your eyes are moist enough for lens to stay there for a long time. Try not to sleep for more than 5 hours.
That's very bad for your cornea if the lens stuck hard to it.
Drink more water to hydrate yourselves.
Again it depend on your anatomy of your lids and the angle rest themselves when they close. Mine happened to be those "half close" sort, i can't fully close my eyes when i'm asleep. Thus, my eyes are half closed and it can withstand some hours 3 at the most.
