Asked for Female, 21 Years

I have bought alcon air optix hydragel lenses for astigmatism. I have to attend a function for that I am going to wear these contact lenses. The function would last for more than 14hrs. Can I wear these lenses for 14 to 15 hours straight without any difficulty. Also due to mehndi stain in my hands can I apply the lenses in my eye with the same hands

Use it for 8 hrs max. Then give rest for 1/2 to 1 hr use 1 drop of lubricating eye drop at that time For mehandi u can use sterile gloves while contact lens application or removal Wash contact lens with solution while application Maintain hygiene

using the contact lens for a longer hours may causes the dryness in that so better to remove the lenses after 6 to 8 hours at least for half an hour to one hour that will help and use the lubricants during the time
