no no no,they also gets oxygen supply from the back of your eyelids (and also oxygen dissolved in you tears). otherwise you’d have to keep your eyes open when you sleep.edit: to correct inaccurate statements.
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.
That’s correct. It’s generally recommended for lenses to have at least over 100 Dk/t for sleep and they need to be approved for that. Dk/t is the measured oxygen transmission through the lens material, the higher, the better. I would not recommend lenses with Dk/t of 30 and under even for daily wear as they starve eyes of oxygen. Especially since there are very affordable ones with very high Dk/t like Miru and Biofinity (around 160 iirc).
Quit using up all the oxygen.
It’s mine, I saw it first!
heavy breathing
So what you’re saying is, my eyes are also lungs?
More like a giant alveolus. But inside out. With a giant sphincter in the middle. That poops light.
Boy, after getting a notification with this reply I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what I could have possibly said to spur it
Be careful the questions you throw into the void.
They don’t need oxygen when I’m sleeping?
My brother sleeps with his eyes party open. He must be eye oxygenmaxxing. Superior eyeballs.
Meanwhile I still can’t breathe through my arsehole
Wait, so what are the bliod vein things in the eyes if not supplying the eyes
They supply the rest of the eye. It’s just the transparent bit on front that doesn’t get much of anything.
how come when I don’t blink it hurts and my eyes get red?
your eyes need to be both moist and oxygenated, the former usually requires blinking
That’s crazy
