You can take a nap while wearing cosmetic contact lenses. Cosmetic contact lenses are corneal contact lenses that are worn during the day and removed at night. If you take a nap, you can wear them because the sleep and rest time is short. During sleep, the conjunctival sac is closed, warm and humid, and it is easy for bacterial infection to form. Cosmetic contact lenses are foreign bodies. Wearing them in the closed conjunctival sac for too long will increase the chance of eye infection, so cosmetic contact lenses are not suitable for long-term wear. You should also observe eye symptoms after a nap. If there is no discomfort, you can continue to wear them. If your eyes become red and the secretions increase, you need to remove the cosmetic contact lenses.
