🔷PRO TIP!
Ask your local eye doctor or eye clinic about rebates and benefits to save money on your contacts! You will be supporting a local business and it will grant you better services and advantages than purchasing online.

✅ If shopping for soft contacts online, consider purchasing from a trusted online retailer:

*** Sleeping in contact lenses is risky. Some contact lenses are approved for overnight wear (Extended wear contacts) by the US FDA.
The approved lenses I most often use are:
Coopervision Biofinity
Acuvue Oasys
Air Optix Night and Day

Either way, wearing contact lenses overnight increases your risk of infection or other eye health complications by almost 5x! If you ever experience redness, pain or changes to your vision it is important to remove your contact lenses and call your eye doctor immediately.
