You can keep continuous wear contact lenses in your eyes for up to 30 consecutive nights without removing them. These contacts have the same comfort benefits of disposable and extended wear contact lenses.
Composition
According to ContactLensDocs.com, continuous wear contact lenses contain silicon hydrogel, which allows oxygen to move freely between the contact lens and cornea.
Benefits
Continuous wear contact lenses can provide you with perfect vision all day and all night. You do not need to clean or store continuous wear contact lenses. Once the 30-day cycle is up, you just throw them away.
Risks
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the most serious risk associated with continuous wear contact lenses is corneal infection. Other risks include eye redness and irritation and blurred vision.
Considerations
The number of nights you can wear these contact lenses is determined by your eye doctor.
Warning
Do not use a pair of continuous wear contact lenses for longer than 30 days. If eye irritation occurs, remove the lenses and contact your eye doctor.
