Can You Sleep in Biofinity 6 Pack Monthly Contacts?

Biofinity monthly contact lenses are approved for extended continuous wear including overnight use — but this requires professional approval and specific conditions. Here is what you need to know.

FDA Approval for Extended Wear

Biofinity lenses are FDA-approved for up to 6 nights and 7 days of continuous wear. The material's high Dk/t of 160 ensures sufficient oxygen reaches the cornea even during sleep, when eye closure further reduces oxygen availability.

Why Professional Approval Is Essential

Not every wearer is suitable for overnight wear. Your eye care professional will assess corneal health and oxygen response, tear film quality, any pre-existing conditions, and hygiene practices before approving overnight use.

The Risks

Even with FDA-approved extended wear lenses, sleeping in contacts carries a higher risk of eye infection than daily removal. Signs of a problem include redness, pain, sensitivity to light, or blurred vision — any of these should prompt immediate lens removal and consultation with an eye care professional.

The Recommended Approach

The safest way to wear Biofinity is daily wear — removed, cleaned, and stored each night. Extended overnight wear should only be considered with explicit professional approval and a clear understanding of the increased risks involved.
