Of course...I wear "Extended Wear" contacts. These are approved to be worn 24/7 for 30 days. Ie, you sleep in them. Personally, I don't like sleeping in contacts and I take them out at night. I wonder if I can get away with wearing them longer because I'm technically wearing them only half duty and cleaning them daily. :ablobthinkingeyes:

@shebang I typically take mine out before sleep as I read they deprive your eyes of oxygen and blood flow etc. Plus when I wake up after having them in my eyes are way more gunked up than if I didn't have them in which I'm sure isn't a good sign. I don't even think my lenses are extended use, but as long as I keep my hand clean, clean the lenses themselves thoroughly, and keep a clean case I can go with one pair for multiple months.

@shebang but in the back of my head I worry if that's a bad thing as my vision has gotten worse over the years and I've no way to measure the impact of long term contact use has on the degradation of my vision vs. Other factors that may or may not be in my control

@Ghoolash Generally what I've heard the problem with overwearing contacts is infections, not sight degradation.

@shebang yeah, I've never had any eye infections and been wearing one pair for multiple months for years.
