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.
Posted in the ask an Optometrist page. These are the lenses that are good for overnight use. None of them (even online) are going to be $150 for a year supply, so I think he may not have a lens that can be slept in.
