Question:

I was reading in there ( I also got a brochure from my eye doctor) and it said that with ProClear, because of the PC techology, it will stay comfortable, even up to more than 12 hours. It shows an example of a woman.

She puts in her lenses at 6:00 am and removes them 10:00-11:00 pm and they are still comfortable.

I want to know, even though they are comfortable for more than twelve hours, is it safe to wear them for more than twelve hours?

Answers:
I think it's all depending on how dry your eyes are. I have very dry eyes, and I also wear Proclear contacts. I don't think I can wear them for more than 6-8 hours even with eye drops. If you feel comfortable while wearing your contacts, I think it's ok for you to wear them more than 12 hours. However, I truly don't recommend anyone to wear contacts while sleeping. They'll dry out your eyes. I hope this can help you a little.

I don't see why not. I wear mine for 12-16 hours a day, and have no problems. Just keep some eye drops handy if they do get dry.
