Keeping You Informed – Your Contacts For those who wear contact lenses – do not sleep with them in! Always make sure you take them out and clean them before you go to bed. Why? When you go to sleep you’re already limiting the amount of oxygen your eyes will receive because they are not open, but if you sleep with your contact in as well, the lack of oxygen will be even more so. You leave your cornea with less nourishment, lubrication, and oxygen because you are not blinking and would basically have a plastic cover over your eyes. This can also lead to slight rips in the cornea from the tightening of the lens as well as infection. Save yourself the risk and take them out before you go to bed! #KeepingYouInformed #EyeCare #ContactLenses #OCCinc
