Wearing Contacts All Night

I wear acuvue advanced and sometimes I stay up all night and when I do
this I notice that the next day, which is really the same day since I
didnt go to sleep, my eyes feel very uncomfortable from the contacts.
The use of rewetting drops doesnt really help that much. Is there
anything I can do about this like take the contacts out, clean them and
put them back in, or take them out for a little while, like an hour or
something, and then put them back on. Any information would be greatly
appreciated.

yeah. take them out for a little while (at least one hour) and let
them disinfect in your contact lens solution. that will allow
atmospheric oxygen to get to your eyes and reduce any adverse effects
from hypoxia.

Ask about Acuvue Oasys.

Here's an idea. Get some regular eyeglasses and wear them instead of
the contacts when you are at home. No one will see you, and we won't
tell anybody you need correction.

I find it silly how vain some people are! I am not vain and I much
prefer glasses over contacts. My contacts become uncomfortable after an
hour or two, doesnt matter what brand too. My tolerance to contacts is
much less than yours. Whats your pescription? If its very high or
complex maybe this poster just doesnt see as well with glasses due to
minification and disortion. I wear undercorrected computer glasses and
my eyes rarely get tired

ace,
i know its hard for you to believe but this thread isn't about you.

noone asked or cares about your contact prescription or how contact
feel on your eyes. the guy just simply told what his problem is and
asked for some advise-- from people who know. that excludes you.

so why do you feel compelled to chime-in on every post that is even
obtusely related to something that you know about, and then try to
hijack the discussion into something that relates to YOU? could it be
that you have an ego problem? could it be that you are seeking
attention from us because you don't get enough from daddy? if you are
such a genius (as you like to brag you are) then why don't you think
about it some.

and don't bother to post here unless you really have something to
contribute. we're tired of hearing about you, or your sister, etc.

He does it because he likes to act like a moron. That is obvious
whether he has a high IQ or a low one. He acts stupid. What I can't
understand is why some people feel compelled to reply to all his
nonesense. You are giving him the attention he craves. Just ignore him
or killfile him.

As I've said here since the dawn of Otis -- rightly or wrongly: the
person who just learned of a vision problem with their loved one and
comes here seeking advice is vulnerable to the ignorance, agendas,
illogic, and unconscionable behavior of Ace and Otis if nobody says
"WARNING: LUNATIC POSTING!"

While some might believe that these two's idiocy is instantly
recognized, after you've been here for a while (in my case: years),
you start to realize that some pretty anxiety-ridden, desperate people
stop by who may NOT be thinking at their best.

Those folks have been vulnerable to, and HURT BY, the likes of Otis
Brown.

Hurt ... as in double vision and other ocular problems that they did
NOT have before they listened to the nice man in the Cadillac offering
chocolate bars to their kids.

It takes a vast leap of faith--one that a few of us are reluctant to
make--to say that nobody will get hurt if the replies ceased tomorrow.

Ace, obviously you are unwilling to read or absorb the information
posted here, but believe it or not, some people wear contacts for
reasons other than vanity.

relax, I am just trying to help! He should find it reassuring that I
have worse problems with contacts than he does! I then went on to give
advice that sticking to glasses more often will help as it does for me.
Whats wrong with what I said? This is a free board with free speech and
I have the right to help others. As for vanity, theres other reasons
including partaking in sports and also better BCVA for high myopes as
contacts dont minify.
