Can my contact lenses be worn on a continual day-and-night basis?
No. This is called extended wear and has a much greater chance of causing you to have an infection. It can also damage the front of your eye (the cornea). International Vision Direct does not recommend wearing your lenses on a continual or extended wear basis. You should take your lenses out of your eyes each night, or when you sleep, and follow our Healthy Vision guidelines.
