Depends on the brand of Lenses and the individual. Air Optix Night and Day and Purevision lenses are approved for 30 days of continuous wear (ie. do not take them out all month). Biofinity, Air Optix and Oasys are approved for 6 days of continuous wear. All other brands are not approved or not safe for overnight wear.
Keep in mind though, that Overnight wear is not for everyone and a proper trial, with Optometrist supervision, should be conducted.
Personally, I only fit them overnight if a patient asks for it as it does open yourself up for more complications. If you do sleep in them, if your eyes are red and sore take them out.
