It is best not to wear contact lenses when sleeping, so wearing contact lenses certainly cannot last for one hour. Although wearing contact lenses allows you to see more clearly, they are still a foreign object. Sleeping with contact lenses may lead to local edema or even eye pain. It is recommended to remove them and put them in the contact lens solution. 1. Do not wear contact lenses to sleep Contact lenses should not be worn to sleep because they have poor breathability and oxygen permeability. When sleeping with eyes closed, the corneal margin may become ischemic and hypoxic, leading to keratitis reactions and causing significant problems. Therefore, it is best to remove contact lenses before sleeping, and there should be no luck in this regard. 2. Hazards of wearing contact lenses to sleep If you wear contact lenses for more than one hour while sleeping, the cornea may not receive enough oxygen in the short term and may become edematous. The corneal epithelium may easily peel off and cause eye pain. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear contact lenses to sleep. Before going to bed, it is generally advisable to remove the contact lenses and appropriately use eye drops to protect the cornea. 3. Correct care methods for contact lenses After removing the lenses every day, they must be rubbed and cleaned. According to research, rubbing and cleaning the lenses is currently the ideal cleaning method. Some rubbing-free cleaning solutions and automatic cleaning machines on the market cannot achieve this effect. Therefore, for eye health, after removing the lenses every day, place them in the palm of your hand and rub and clean them for 30 seconds.
