In regular use, they are not actually stuck to your eye so there is no damage. My optician told me that layers of your cornea only get damaged when you remove your contacts after sleeping in them.

None of your layers of corneal tissue peel off after taking lenses out. Your cornea is fine. 2 weeks is the amount of time you have to leave out your lenses before laser surgery. What rubbish!

Your LASIK surgeon will inform you of how long to go without contacts before surgery.

The top six cell layers of the cornea, the epithelium, are continually being replaced, with the dead cells dropping of, contact lenses or no... (Just like skin) A good contact lens, not misused, does not remove massively more cells than normal. In fact one problem with contacts, especially the sleep-in versions, can be cell debris building up under the lens if there is not enough tear circulation. I suggest "shortest time" is definitely not the way to approach a refraction that is going to determine your vision for a lifetime. Two weeks for soft lenses would be pretty safe, but for gas permeable hard lenses a cautious person would recommend a month or more. There are some myths out there, aren’t there?
