I haven't got anything close to an eye infection regarding leaving my contacts in too long. I try not too, but once I start to forget (after putting in a new pair), I usually just go with them for months on end. I've even used the same pair for many months, just taking them out occasionally.

I'm thinking the eye infections come from when people's fingers aren't complete sanitized and the every day putting them in and taking them out is just increasing their odds of getting infection. Although I don't know too many people who have gotten eye infections from contacts in the first place.

Also, if you think cotton mouth is bad, cotton eye is even worse.

That sounds nasty.

I fell asleep with my contacts in for a nap(like 2 hours). Went to take them out when I woke up....scratched my cornea in the process. You wanna know pain...do that. Had to go to eye doctor and get antibiotic drops to put in my eyes for a week.

Never again.

I do the same thing. I've had one eye infection and the pain from it only lasted for about 7 hours or so (it was pretty terrible), but I haven't learned my lesson. I still keep my contacts in for months at a time.
