Default How Do Acuvue 2's Do Overnight?

I read that even though Acuvue 2 contacts have been FDA approved for up to two weeks of continuous wear, they still should not be worn all night. Something about being approved years before, when the rules weren't quite so strict.
Any comments?

Default How Do Acuvue 2's Do Overnight?

Yes, Acuvue 2 contacts are technically FDA approved for overnight wear, but they got approved for "extended wear" in the mid-90's before the FDA got pickier with that designation. So you're right. The FDA changed its rules for overnight use of Acuvue 2 contacts. That doesn't mean the FDA is wrong, or bad, it just means they re-examined the evidence and found that they needed to modify their recommendation.

Default Wearing Contacts Overnight

I have been wearing Acuvue 2 contacts for years now, and I saw a question about wearing them overnight, and whether it is good.

Personally, I found that it is not good, my Dr. has also confirmed this. Blood vessels in your eye can become enlarged as your eyes strains for oxygen. Additionally, keeping any potential dirt or other airborne debris trap under the lens for lengthy time periods cant be good. Just a thought...

Thanks for your answers, Blueyedblond and Bright_Eyes77.
Hey, "look" at that. We've all got "eyes" in our screen names. I guess we found the right forum, huh?
