I kind of know that I can go to bed with regular lenses. You know, the ones for vision. That people who have problems with their eyesight wear them all the time and don't even take them off. They just put them in liquid and that's it. But with beauty lenses would that trick work or not?

Thank you for explaining it. I don't know much about these lenses. I don't know about their harm or their good qualities. Although I have been wearing them for a long time.
As a future doctor I can tell you that you should NOT sleep in contact lenses. Oxygen is vital to the health of the cornea. Modern soft contact lenses allow enough oxygen to get to your eye. But when you sleep your eyes are closed and therefore oxygen access to them is reduced. This can lead to problems. Thus sleeping with contact lenses can increase the risk of complications such as. For example a corneal ulcer which can be very severe. I once didn't take my purple eye contacts off and had problems. If you accidentally fall asleep in your lenses they can dry out and be more difficult to remove than usual. If you fear adverse effects or if you notice redness experience pain or visual impairment or cannot remove contact lenses from your eye after sleeping see your doctor immediately.
