A member asked:

Can i wear contacts for over 13 hours safely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually: Most soft lenses can be worn for 13 hours and some for longer. Hard lenses are less tolerable. If the eye gets painful, or red, take out the lens and if it lasts this way more than 24 hours , see your ophthalmologist.
