How bad is it to wear contacts for extended periods of time without removing them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Problems.: Although contacts can be worn for extended periods you need to get those which are designed for that. Not all contacts are. You can get a serious keratitis which if severe can cause blindness. You can also get infection. Use the advice of your eye care professional.
