🚫Repeat after us: NEVER sleep in your contact lenses! 🚫
Sleeping in contacts can increase your risk of serious eye infections and oxygen deprivation (hello, uncomfortable redness). Many optometrists even recommend removing extended-wear lenses before sleep. Protect your vision—pop them out before you nod off! 😴➡️👀
