May I know if it's safe to wear contact lenses for more than twelve hours a day?!
Question: May I know if it's safe to wear contact lenses for more than twelve hours a day.?
I wear my contact lenses daily, and always more than twelve hours a day. Will it cause anything (for instance - diseases, disorders etc.) to my eyes.? An aunt told me that it will destroy my eyeball if I wear for more than six hours.
Thanks in advance!

Well all the optometrists seem to say that you shouldn't wear them for more than 8 hours or so, but I often wear mine for longer than that. My eyes do get a bit sore but eye-drops help and it's also good to use lubricating drops if you have naturally quite dry eyes. I think the major danger is swimming/showering etc with them in, because the bacteria in the water can give you a serious infection, potentially blinding you within a day.Health Question & Answer
I would not wear them that long for too many days in a row. You must let your eyes "breathe". That long in a day is dangerous and you are only asking for an infection. I don't care how good you clean them. I'd rather be safe than sorry. A friend of mine got and infection in her eye and not only was it a inconvenience but her vision was affected. Your eyesight is precious, you shouldn't be so careless. Peace.Health Question & Answer
