🚫👁️ Never Sleep in Your Contacts 👁️🚫
Wearing your contact lenses overnight might feel harmless, but it can cause serious damage to your eyes:
✨ Reduced Oxygen – Your cornea needs oxygen to stay healthy. Contacts block airflow, especially while you sleep.
🦠 Higher Infection Risk – Sleeping in contacts increases your chance of bacterial or fungal eye infections up to 8x.
🔴 Irritation & Redness – Lack of oxygen can leave your eyes red, dry, and painful.
⚠️ Long-Term Damage – In severe cases, it can even lead to corneal ulcers or vision loss.
💡 Pro Tip: Always remove and properly clean your lenses before bed. If you want the convenience of overnight wear, ask your eye doctor about approved extended-wear lenses.
👀 Healthy eyes = better vision for life. Don’t risk it!
Would you like me to make this more educational/professional (for an eye clinic page) or more casual/fun (for general awareness on Instagram/TikTok)?

👁️✨ Why You Shouldn’t Sleep in Your Contacts ✨👁️
We get it—crashing into bed with your contacts still in can be tempting. But here’s what actually happens when you snooze with them on:
🔬 Oxygen Block – Your cornea (the clear front surface of your eye) needs oxygen to stay healthy. Contacts + closed eyelids = less oxygen.
🦠 Germ Party – Warm, dark, and moist = the perfect place for bacteria and fungi to grow. Overnight lenses can increase your risk of infection up to 8x.
🔥 Red, Irritated Eyes – Less oxygen = more dryness, irritation, and inflammation.
⚠️ Serious Risks – Infections like corneal ulcers can cause permanent vision damage if untreated.
💡 Takeaway: Remove your contacts before bed every night. Your eyes will thank you in the morning!
