No. Most lenses restrict oxygen flow to the cornea. Overwearing them can lead to infections or corneal ulcers. Limit wear to 8–10 hours and never sleep in them unless they are specifically designed for extended wear.

Do not rub the eye! Blink several times to see if tears wash it out. Flush with clean water or saline. If the object is stuck or vision is blurred, go to an eye emergency room immediately.
