Hey there. Leaving your contacts soaking overnight won’t harm them at all. In fact, it’ll probably help them. Personally, I try to let mine soak at least 8 hours minimum, preferably 10 if I can. Soaking the contacts helps them retain moisture, and the more moisture your contacts have, the more comfortable they’ll be.
Read the label or box of whatever contact solution you’re using. It’ll tell you the maximum length of time you can leave your contacts in the solution before you’ll have to change it. I use Optifree Replenish, and if memory serves me right, I think you can leave you contacts in that solution for up to 30 days.
Hope that helps!!
i never leave mine in overnight. I think i’ve done it once or twice by accident. When you wake up your contacts are really really dry and they sorta stick to your eye when you try to take them out. You really should let them soak.
Naw, it’s what most people do when they go to bed at night. Just pop them in the case and throw in some solution. The 4 hours is an "at least"
Ya know throw them in the case for at least 4 hours.
it depends if you have daily contacts then you through them out but if u have monthlies u leave them to soak overnight
never let your contacts dry out. They should always be in solution or on your eyes.
Normally just overnite but what i do is have them in but when i go to bed i take them out and cant be assed to soak them so i leave dry all nite then put them in solution for 10 mins after there done and last for a day
You can leave the contact lenses in the liquid stuff all night. I have a contact, yes only one (blind in one eye, which means its cheaper!). You can sleep in them, but there’s a greater risk of infection if you do so though!
nope not at all
that what i always do
i was wondering this when i first got contacts but my doctor told me just take em out evrynight and its oky to leave em in over night
also it is okay to fall asleep in them (but try avoiding it) they just make your eyes very dry when you wake up
good luckk!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would say two – three hours
You can leave your contacts in the solution for a couple days even, if you want. The four hours means leave them in the solution for at least four hours to make sure they’ve been completely cleaned of germs, protein buildup, and other gunk.
You’re fine to leave them in solution overnight. No worries

As long as you want.
i use daily contacts (use them once and throw em away)
they’re WAY easier
It may not hurt you the First time but if you constantly leave them in like 3 days in a row you will start to develop gunk in your eyes…but you should take them out every night because your eyes need oxygen…unless you have monthlies
All night, its just enough for the proteins to wash away, I normally leave them over night, anything over a few hours is fine.
i havent taken mine out in over a month so prob won’t hurt for one night
nope it wont
