How long can you sleep with contact lenses?

Some people say that wearing contact lenses is more convenient, while others say that wearing contact lenses will bring them trouble. The former is mainly based on the perspective drawn from the way of wearing and daily life, while the latter is the feeling after wearing. For lazy myopic patients, when choosing contact lenses, they consider more whether they need to take them off when sleeping. So, how long can you sleep with contact lenses?

1. Solution: Choose contact lenses that can be worn while sleeping.

With previous technology, wearing contact lenses to sleep is a very unscientific and impossible task. As technology becomes more and more advanced, it is obvious that new technology can replace the old hydrogel contact lenses. Highly oxygen permeable silicone hydrogel contact lenses that can be worn while sleeping are now on the market.

According to valid research, when the oxygen permeability of contact lenses reaches 125dk, it has reached the minimum standard for wearing them while sleeping. So what contact lenses can you wear while sleeping?

2. Which contact lenses can be worn while sleeping?

Theoretically, contact lenses that can be worn while sleeping can be worn as long as the oxygen permeability reaches 125dk. But it is not recommended to wear it for a long time while sleeping. Contact lenses like Bausch & Lomb Pure Vision, Bausch & Lomb Vision Comfort Oxygen, Bausch & Lomb Hydra-Vac, CooperVision, etc. are all silicone hydrogel contact lenses with oxygen permeability exceeding 125. However, it is only recommended to wear them during a nap at noon, preferably within half an hour.

The only contact lens that can be worn for a long time and without pressure when sleeping is the Visionox Day and Night contact lens. The oxygen permeability is as high as 175. Many people have tried wearing it and said that they feel no pressure when sleeping with it.

3. What should I do if I can’t wear contact lenses while sleeping?

Contact lenses that do not meet the requirements cannot be worn while sleeping. It is best to take them off when you want to sleep. Do not store them casually. Contact lenses must be stored in care solution and worn normally after sleeping.

ps: If contact lenses that do not meet certain requirements are worn blindly, they are likely to cause blindness.
