questions about contact lenses


Question Posted Wednesday July 26 2006, 8:30 pm

Ok, i'm not sure if you'd know answers, but since you're in the medical field, i'll give it a shot.

i've heard that it's bad to leave day-wear contacts in overnight. why is this bad? my one friend told me that she thinks it makes your eyes dry. I once kept contacts in for 3 days. is this bad for your eyes?

I've been thinking of getting overnight contacts. Do you know how long you're allowed to wear them? *like could you wear them for say weeks in a row or is it only for one night?*

also, if you're going to switch brands of solution, will your eyes become irritated from the difference in the solutions?

thanks for the help if you know any answers. if not, then thanks for taking time to read this.

Oh- and if you know off hand of any good websites on contact lenses and things pertaining to what i've asked, it would be wonderful if you could include them. thanks again.

If you leave them in to much longer than recommended they can cause a nasty eye infection.
Not only does it not look good :) It can damage
your eyesight.

Here is a site on that. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Extended wear or overnight contacts may not be such a great idea either. Read up on it before deciding if its right for you.

The change in solutions shouldn't make a difference. They are all basically the same thing. :)
