Yes the material in one day contacts and 2 week contacts is the same

B&L Dailies 41% (hilafilcon B)
B&L Sof Lens 59 41% hilafilicon B 2 week lens

J&J Accuve 42% Polymer (etafilcon A) daily
J&J Accuvue 42% Polymer (etafilcon A) 1-2 weeks

Biomedics 1 Day (ClearSight 1 Day) 48% Polymer (ocufilcon B) daily
Biomedics 55 45% Polymer (ocufilcon D) 1-2 week lens

The difference between 48% and 45% isn't the difference between china and plastic plates.

They're all plastic. The analogy is bogus.

The FDA's website confirms one lens was approved for both daily and planned replacement sales. Clearly that lens can be safely worn for more then one day. I previously posted the quote from the website. I won't identify the lens. I don't want to suggest people who wear that lens should re-use the lens without consulting their doctor.

There may be some manufacturing differences which suggests some one day contacts can't be re-used but there is a lot of evidence which suggests most one day lenses can be cleaned and re-worn.
I went to lens.com and checked out your numbers and materials, lurker. You know what? You're right. The information is just as you say. I think I may need to contact some contact lens manufacturers . . .
