That's also why certain contact lenses can't be worn overnight or for long periods of time because they aren't as breathable. At least that's what my eye doctor said when I got them.

Yep and if you wear them for too long your body will grow new blood vessels to supply your oxygen-starved eyes with what they need. These new blood vessels can cover your retina and can lead to blindness.

Learned that one by sleeping in daily disposable contacts for a while and losing a significant portion of my peripheral vision.
