Health experts are warning about the hidden dangers of sleeping while still wearing contact lenses. Although it might seem harmless to doze off without removing them, doctors say this habit can cause serious eye complications over time.
According to ophthalmologists, sleeping with contacts reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the cornea, increasing the risk of eye infections, redness, and even long-term vision damage. In some cases, it can lead to a painful condition called corneal ulcers, which requires immediate medical attention.
