Best Answer

Sleeping in contact lenses is harmful since it raises the risk of developing an infection in your eyes. Your contact prevents your eye from getting the oxygen and water it needs to combat a bacterial or microbial invasion while you're sleeping.

If you do fall asleep with your lenses in, remove them as soon as possible and wait a day before wearing them again. Protect yourself from infection by maintaining appropriate contact lens care.

If you see any of the signs of infection, consult a doctor as soon as possible to treat the condition before it becomes serious.

Yes, because the contact dries out and will stick to your eye.
