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!
