Either way, your friend is wrong and she is endangering her eyesight by wearing her contacts for WAY too long.
These lenses have a limited life span, not because they get dirty, but because they begin to fall apart, they allow less and less oxygen to reach the corneas, and become harder to clean effectively. It doesn't matter how well you clean them, they still need to be replaced on schedule. You're smart for checking with Lens 101 before joining your friend in this dangerous practice. Perhaps your friend should just wear glasses if she won't care for her contacts properly. |
She got me fooled there. I was so close to buying one. Because it's so much cheaper. So that's how it works. I don't know that it falls apart. Thank you so much for the helpful info Building63. I guess I should buy the pricey ones but it is more safe. I just wanted to try on contacts for a different look. And the sample photos in this site are so nice. Now I know what will look good on me. Haha
