Current Events > anyone else wear their contacts for longer than they're supposed to?

Yes, I too want to destroy my eyes

bump

yeah, i find they're good for about 2-3 months if properly cared for

i wouldn't go longer than that though for monthly contacts
---

what brand do you use

i'm guessing mileage may vary depending on the type of contacts
---

I did and it caused me some problems. My doctor just switched me to dailys.
---

I get free contacts so no. When the month is up, they go in the trash.

After about 2 weeks, I usually change out my contacts. They noticeably feel a bit more worn. Everyone I've heard of who bragged about how they over-used their contacts was a bitch/jerk who thought they were pulling a fast one on the optics industry. If you can't afford contacts every year just buy glasses and bite the bullet.

I just don't wear mine
---

WWont they melt in your eyes or something
---

I wear "dailies" that I keep in until they fall out lol
---

I stretch out my monthlies for a week or two longer generally. I'll also go days or weeks at a time of not wearing them.
---

tried dailies and they dried out like 3 hours in on every use

i don't know if they're better now but my eyes hated them
---

I get the ones you can comfortably sleep in up to two weeks straight, so no. I change them every month.
---

What the fuck.

I had dailies but even then couldn't stand them for longer than 6 hours.

Just don't be this person

yeah, that's what i'm worried about

i mean, not necessarily melting or whatever, but other problems that can arise
---

Been wearing contacts for 14 years.

The longest I've ever warn them was maybe 26 hours, and they were practically glued to my eyes when I tried to take them out.
---

They don't melt unles you're really close to a fire, like close enough to kiss it lol

The real worry is them drying out and scratching and/or causing an infection

I was the same way until I switched to this newest brand. I think they're called Aqua night and day or something like that. If I slept in contacts prior, I'd wake up with them shriveled and dried up. These though, I can easily leave in a week straight without thinking about them. Sometimes 2.

also, idk if it was clear or not going off of just the op, but i take them out and clean them everyday i wear them

it's not like i've been wearing them for over a year straight
