I went blind from showering with my contacts in. The Contacts trapped the ameobas called Acanthameoba (that live in almost all water) on my eyes, where they were then able to embed into my corneas and eat them. Please never shower, sleep, nap, or swim in your contacts! It is not worth the risk of losing your vision!
