• Sleeping with contact lenses. Brissette says that the most significant issue of leaving your contacts in overnight is the risk of infection, which can cause permanent cornea scarring and loss of vision.
• Heavy drinking. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends limiting alcohol consumption to one drink daily for women and no more than two per day for men for overall health maintenance.
• Sleeping with makeup on. Make sure to remove all traces of makeup at night and gently massage your lids while taking a warm shower to help lubricate the eyes and prevent infection.
