Some contact lenses, called “extended wear” or “continuous wear” contacts, can be worn for a week or more without removing them. Individuals who sleep in their lenses, however, are at a much higher risk for eye infections or other complications. If you are considering extended wear contacts talk to your eye care professional about the best wear schedule for you.
