My next lens was the Acuvue Advanced Toric that were rated 2 weeks but I usually got 1 month out of them.

I now am on my first pair of Acuvue Oasys Astigmatism and the doctor of course wrote 2 week replacement schedule. I told him that I intended to go one month with them and he said if there was no discomfort that that was OK just dont go past one month.

My invincible son has Softlens 58 soft lenses that are rated monthly and he goes upto 5 months before replacing them. Yikes!
