If you continuously sleep while wearing your contacts, you can significantly reduce the amount of oxygen your cornea receives. It can also damage the surface, impacting its ability to regenerate fresh cells. In short, you can end up with a horrible eye infection.

Eye infections can occur due to various causes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, or foreign objects. Recognizing the signs of an eye infection is crucial for seeking prompt medical attention and preventing potential complications. Remove your contact lenses to help with the irritation. If your eye infection is too difficult to manage, visit our optometrist.
