Lens Red
sleeping in extended wear lens do ur eyes get red when u wake up?
when sleeping over night in extended wear r ur eyes red when u wake up?
do i have to put eye drop before i sleep?
Sleeping in contacts is a horrible idea..period. Even though a lot of optometrists prescribe them, it is never recommended. There are no blood vessels on the cornea so the only oxygen they receive is from the air. By wearing contacts, especially when sleeping, you are suffocating the cornea and causing it to break down. Just take the lenses out while you sleep. The eye doctors that prescribe these I GUARANTEE are not the ones who are treating the loss of vision, corneal ulcers and corneal scars. We had two young patients in just the past 7 days come in after being prescribed extended wear CL’s. One is legally blind now from a central corneal ulcer with very little hope of regaining her vision and the other has a massive scar on the surface which partially interferes with her vision and will keep her out of contacts for the rest of her life.
So…if you sleep in them, you are increasing your risk of infection 100 fold at least..and for those of you who comment that I’m just trying to scare you. You bet I am. I am tired of having to heal up what doctors are causing.

Contact Lens Overuse, Irritation and Safety Tips
Contact lens wearers sometimes become so comfortable with daily use of their lenses that they wear them longer than they should. This can lead to eye irritation, increased inflammation, and perhaps even infection if the problem is not promptly treated. It is important to follow the recommended guidelines for daily wear and report any problems to your doctor.
When you are fitted for contact lenses, your doctor will explain how to get your eyes used to wearing them. Typically, you begin wearing the lenses two to four hours daily, and increase your wear by an hour or two each day until you reach a daily maximum of ten to twelve hours. Whether you wear hard, soft, or disposable lenses, it is important to follow your doctor’s recommended guidelines. Dispose of temporary lenses at the suggested time rather than over use them, as this can lead to eye infections, even though you may not first experience warning symptoms, like redness or blurred vision.
Another guideline to follow is the recommended cleaning schedule for your lenses. Don’t forget to rinse them in the saline solution that was in your lens kit provided by the doctor. Rinse your lenses each time you wear them, and do the regular cleaning with tablets or special solution, as directed. Don’t skimp to save money or time, as bacteria can quickly multiply and cause eye problems if you don’t keep up with your cleaning schedule. Never use water to rinse or clean your lenses, as this can damage them. Avoid trying another solution other than the one that was prescribed. If you develop eye symptoms, like irritation, redness, or itchiness, let your doctor know, and he or she may switch the solution in case you are allergic to it. Don’t forget to clean the case after each use, and wash your hands before putting in or taking out your lenses.
Never sleep in your contact lenses. Although they may soon feel quite comfortable, keeping them in your eyes overnight may cause eye irritation, and perhaps even damage your eye. Avoid leaving the lenses in for long periods of time, like 16 to 20 hours, when you are taking a road trip or studying for an exam, for example. Keep a pair of reading glasses available for times like these.
You should plan on getting an annual eye exam to check for changes in your vision. Failing to do so may cause eyestrain if your contact lenses are no longer strong enough to maintain clear vision. Your eye doctor can check also for signs of redness or irritation that you may not be able to detect.
Though your contact lenses may seem easy to wear and care for, never take them for granted. Follow professional guidelines and recommendations to get the best use from them, and to keep your lenses, as well as your eyes, in the best possible condition for as long as possible. If you lose a lens in your eye, experience a tearing or painful sensation, or have vision disturbances, let your doctor know right away.
