I wear contacts and i have been forgetting to take them off once a week like the eye doctor said. i wore my last for a month straight. is that bad?

You nailed it!: We did a major study of the cause of corneal ulcers, a type of sight threatening corneal infection and found that the number one cause is due to people sleeping or having poor hygiene of their contact lens ie washing in tab water. Most ophthalmologist prefer that you do not even sleep with your contact lens at all or even better get the daily type of contact lens. Please take precaution.
