Use Contacts : If u believe me !

Most of the people don't use contact lenses because they think that they have to remove it every night, put it in the solution and then wear it back the next morning ! And following this daily, is a pain. Better use specs!

Well, what I feel is that, the above "fact" is a myth! (I said I feel, and remember, I am not an eye specialist.) I still don't know, why do they instruct so ! Initially , I too used to follow this old routine of taking it out before sleeping. And ya it was boring and irritating to follow this every night!

But, once I was reading the instructions on the lens solution. It says -


Wash your lenses with the solution. Take care not to ... blah blah blah........and more blah blah.. (all these instructions , so that you finish your bottle soon, and by a new one!) and then soak it for around 4 hrs. Keep it covered.

And then you can wear it for a maximum of 31 days.


It was cool. I tried it. And today its my 25th consecutive day, and I haven't removed my lenses. And it makes no difference. Neither it sticks, nor blur. Neither it hurts, nor itches !!
And guys its so better than specs (specially for those using high power specs).

But ya, for some 'youngsters', wearing specs is a 'fashion' ;) Isn't it ?

  7. Ankit, i really hope you are joking! I use lenses, and the doctor specifically told me not to wear lenses while sleeping. My sis got a infection in her eye because of sleeping with them often, and cannot wear them again for her life. Confirm it from a doc!
    btw, nice blog! :)
