Diff question: I'm not sure what you're asking here, but yes, if you leave a contact lens in for too long, it can adhere to the eyeball. This can cause difficulty getting it out, and lead to a corneal abrasion. It is critical to follow directions carefully and to remove lenses if your eyes are getting irritated even if you should be able to keep them in for a few more hours.
