Debbie.........Dont count on it. You have fallen prey to an advertising scam. There are no magic cures for eyesight. If you want to correct your vision problems your choices are:
Glasses, Contacts ( and only when your eyes are open ), surgery. There is no magic lens that heals your eyesight during the night while you sleep. They do offer contact lenses that you can sleep in, but the side effects are not worth the risk. Your eyes need O2, and contact lenses cut off the supply of oxygen. If you must wear contact lenses, I recommend the extended wear contacts. You remove them daily. I have heard of a surgery called Crystalens. That envolves the removal of the eye's natural lens, and then a corrective lens in put into place. It completely eliminates the worries of cataracts, but then again, you do have someone digging around in your eye.
Here are a few sites that will help you understand what is real, and what is hype:

I hope these few websites can give you the ANSWER to your question. Good luck, and don't believe everything that you hear.

When I decided to get contact lens I considered those type lens but decided against them because one of my friends use them and she said it hurts like hell and sometimes her eyes bleed! I dont know how true that is, maybe she was exaggerating, but I decided against having those. Also consider that this is still a very new type of technology, and who knows what type of long-term effects that they will have on your eyes when you're 80?
Do you have ordinary contact lens now? Because if you do, seriously I would stick with them. Mine at least dont bother my eyes at all and although taking them off and on is a bit of bother, there are types of contact lens that claims that you can wear it overnight. I have that type, it's called Night and Day and it's made by a company called Ciba Vision. However when I bought them they recommended they you still dont wear them for over 12 hours.
Its your choice. You should probably talk to your optician about this, (s)he will be able to give you more information.

Why not just find a way to restore your vision so you don't need contacts
I personally know of 2 ways the friends and family have improved there vision
1. Improve Your Vision With Eye Exercises

2. Proper nutrition & antioxidants

This is a way cheaper and safer for you than laser eye surgery.
Its great my wife now has perfect vision and doesn't have to bother with contacts & wearing eye glasses anymore

No exercise can possibly reshape the eyeball: there are no muscles for that. All such programs are, therefore, a scam. If your eyeball is too long, or too short, there is nothing that can be done except put compensating lenses in front (including reshaping the cornea into such a lens surgically, of course).
