If you fall asleep with contacts on or wear them too long, blocking the supply of O2, you will grow capillaries infront of your cornea. This is bad for vision.
Curious, I definately forgot to take it my contacts from time to time and it isn’t fun waking up in them(though being able to see probably is kinda fun until you feel the discomfort anyways). Im curious about the whole process now, I’m going to try and find out more about this, wish me luck!

No, the capillaries on your eyelids supply o2.

Your eyedoctor can show you the capillaries in question next time you get your script renewed.

Oh I had laser eyes installed, but good to know about when I get older if they don’t stop working as good. Thanks
