Night and Day lenses are contact lenses which have been licensed for use 24 hours per day for up to six days at a time. This means that they can be left in the eyes overnight as you sleep, making them perfect for people with extremely active lifestyles, or military and emergency services personnel.
The risk of infection is increased when wearing the lenses full-time. It is important that you are careful with the hygiene of the lenses, and contact your optician immediately if you feel any changes occur with your eyes. The lenses must be removed every six days, cleaned, and stored overnight in solution. You must also attend regular sight tests so that the health of the eyes can be checked.
If you would like to try Night & Day lenses, please contact us to arrange an appointment.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been receiving more referrals for painful red eyes.
Some of these have been infective keratitis in extended wear contact lens wearers. These patients appeared to be unaware of the greater risk of keratitis in extended wear. All extended wear contact lens wearers MUST know the risks and take steps to minimise them”.
