What is the max time i can wear rigid gas permeable contacts in one day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I say 12.: Varied answers from varied eye care specialists. In general, i advise my patients that are wearing rigid gas permeable (rgp) contact lenses to not wear them for more than 12 hours a day. You do not want to suffer from contact lens overwear syndrome. This is a corneal inflammation that results from wearing your rgp contacts too long because they feel comfortable. The next am you will have eye pain.

I rarely passed gas before adding fiber. Over the last 4 months I started taking fiber supplements tried two different brands because I found one cheaper but with more and I'm still gassy. Every day I pass gas, multiple times. Is this normal?
