Why are eyes red and swollen after taking contact lenses off?

What could happen to my eyes if I don’t take my contact lens out every day?

  • I don’t have contact lenses that you can leave in, but I still leave them in without taking them out for up to 3 weeks. It doesn’t bug my eyes at all to leave them in, and I have ...show more

  • Answer:

    TAKE THOSE LENSES OUT EVERY NIGHT OR MORE OFTEN! %Removing contact lenses provides an open airway to the eyeball, which is what the eye needs. The cornea, lens and retina need fresh air to stay "fresh." You are starving the eye by leaving your lenses in for more than 10 hours daily.

lets hope this makes you think twice!! my cousin had them on and fell asleep when he woke up it was stuck at the corners of his eye!! he had to go A&E asap to take it out! even if it was allowed to keep it in i would never risk having it in my eyes overnight! i would rather take em out than go blind

Corneal Ulcer...I had one and I never leave mine in. It comes on really fast (hours) and you might need surgery or go blind. Your eyesight is not something you should abuse, there is a reason they tell you to take them out. Doctors even warn against the ones that are "approved" for overnight wear. Just take them out, it takes a minute at the most. Small price to pay for your vision.

The eyes will be dry and the eye health will be reduced. redness shows that oxygen is not enough.

Infection or it could get loose and go elsewhere in the eye.

i used to take them out every nite earlier but now i just take them out 1 or twice a week and still fine. If you take contacts out every nite, it will wear out your contact more and you have to change them more often (one every 2 or 3 weeks). If you take them out 1 or twice a week, you can change your contact every 4 weeks or more so.
