Hi,

I fell asleep for 3 or 4 hours in Focus Dailies yesterday evening.

What's the oxygen permeability of these lenses when dry? Should I get
away with it?

Eyes seem ok this morning, a bit bloodshot beneath the lids... Not sore
to blink or touch. I will not wear contacts for at least 5 days to give
my eyes time to recover from whatever damage may have been inflicted.

I would like to know what I should watch out for. If it's a risk factor
for corneal ulcer (non-infectious, I assume, considering they are
disposables and won't be reused) how long could this take to develop?

When I awoke last night my eyes were quite red but I had been drinking
and I mistook this for the cause... I think the bigger mistake was
trying to remove the lenses there and then, and it took a few attempts
before I had the sense to use an eye bath to get them moving again. (I
just didn't connect the dots at the time. I had been for a 3 hr run
earlier on, hot day, which is why I thought they may have dried faster
than usual and were just being a bit sentimental. It's only my sixth
time wearing lenses and I wasn't fully aware of the dangers of dropping
off in them, otherwise I would have had them out before watching TV --
I had been up for 24 hours straight so this is a bit of a one off,
luckily someone woke me up and it was four hours max, not nine or ten!)

Appreciate the group's advice,
Jamie
