Is it bad for my healthto sleep with my contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be: There are contacts that advertise that their contact lenses can be worn over night and for 30 days. Most over night contact lenses are to be replaced every two weeks. It only takes one bad infection to damage the eye. If wearing contact lenses over night replace them every two weeks to avoid any eye damage.".
