Brand New 1 Day Acuvue Moist

They say that when you get a new pair of contact lenses to try out, you should wear them for 2 hours the first day, then 4 hours, then 6, and so on.

What happens if on Day 2 they're so comfortable that you forget about them and wear them for 6 hours? Should you go back to 4 hours the next day (Day 3), or just leave them in all day?

This exact thing happened to me! I thought I had lost the lenses and could not get them out of my eye. I thought I must have lost them because I could not even see them and ended up wearing them for 2 and a half days from the first time I got the trial lenses at the eye doctors. Nothing bad happened they did eventually get dry feeling and then I felt them and knew they were in there and was able to get them out on the third day. I never went back to less hours after that.

Wow. You had your 1-Day contact lenses in your eyes for three days and there was no damage to your eyes? You were very lucky. One thing I find on this site over and over is people who say they can wear their daily disposable lenses for days and weeks with no bad effects, but they don't realize how harmful that can be. I hope you don't think you can now wear dailies for more than one day.

The most important thing is that you're okay. Let's not "tempt fate", okay?

Hi All, I just noticed that I had posted that reply on the one day acuvue site and should explain myself! While this did really happen to me when the optician put the very first lenses in for me I should say it was an acuvue oasis lens designed for disposal after two weeks daily wear or 6 days continuous wear. However I have since been changed to other brand lenses, after the acuvue oasis a daily disposable was tried the 1-day acuvue moist, and after that I was given a trial for ciba daily disposable with aqua comfort which were the most comfortable for me so I wear them to this day but do toss them every single night! Thanks for the warning though it really is true for the amount one would save is it worth possibly ruining ones eyes to save a couple dollars? Not to me!

I'm glad you cleared that up, petlover1. It's good to see someone on this site who understands that lenses have names like "1-Day Acuvue Moist" for a reason.

Follow your doctor's instructions, everybody. He or she probably knows better than you about wearing contact lenses in a healthy and safe way.
