Default Acuvue oasys safe overnight?

Can i leave my Acuvue Oasys 1-2 week disposable lenses in overnight? I have been doing and my eyes have been fine, no problems, i just want to know if im doing any damage without knowing. Ive read that eyes need oxygen so you should take them out, but ive also read that Acuvue oasys are thin and made of silicone, so they actually let oxygen through the lense while your wearing them. so does this mean its ok to leave them in overnight for the full 2 weeks??

Hi Basile,

Typically a person will ask if a particular practice is dangerous before they try it, but to each their own I guess.

To answer your question, for most people it's okay to wear Acuvue Oasys overnight, but no more than six nights. You can wear them for two weeks (14 days) if you don't sleep in them.

By the way, "my eyes have been fine, no problem" is not a good indication of eye health. Always keep in touch with your doctor if you're not sure if something is healthy or not. If you only knew how many people went into their annual eye exam with their eyes feeling "fine, no problem" and they wind up hearing their eye doctor saying "It's a good thing we caught this in time."
