Sleeping with circle contact lenses should be avoided as
much as possible. There are different types of circle contact lenses and
depending on the type of the contacts; you can leave them in your eyes before
sleeping. GP lenses and certain type of soft contact lenses can be left in
eyes. However; it is recommended to always take circle
contact lenses out before going to sleep.
Diseases caused by
Sleeping with Circle Contact Lenses
GP lenses [gas permeable lenses] are hard contact lenses
that allow enough oxygen to let through your eyes. On the other hand cosmetic
lenses and regular soft contact lenses should always be taken out from eyes.
Care should be taken whilst wearing circle contact lenses and even accidental
naps should be avoided. Falling asleep with circle contact lenses blocks oxygen
which threatens the health of eyes in the form of several eye infections
including pink eye disease known as “Corneal neovascularization” and “Corneal micros cysts”.
The
lack of oxygen to eyes causes the vessels of your eyes to grow too much due to
which you will no longer be able to wear circle contact lenses again. The
unusual pressure may even cause the vessels to erupt; developing a serious
eye-infection known as “Corneal Ulcer”. This may even lead to permanent
blindness.
Don’t go to Bed with Circle
Contact Lenses in Eyes
Circle
contact lenses are meant to bring a pleasant change in your personality either
by enhancing the color of your eyes or by transforming your over-all looks.
Therefore; circle contact lenses should be worn only for vision correction and
for personality enhancement. Going to bed with your circle contact lenses still
in eyes is not a good idea as you may fall asleep unintentionally. Therefore;
it is a good habit to always remove your circle contact lenses and disinfect
them after the recommended period of wearing circle contact lenses is over.
The Bottom Line
Being
lazy to remove circle contact lenses before sleeping is a criminal act that may
ask your eyes to avenge you back. If you love wearing circle contact lenses;
you should stay vigilant to the safety of your eyes by regularly taking care of
them and by following the advices of doctors. Never
sleep with contacts in; it is not worth it!
