I did a personal test with a Bausch & Lomb Daily SofLens and was able to wear that several weeks, before boredom set in and I discarded them. (I sterilised them with 2 step peroxide each night and checked for deposits, etc). In that case the Daily lens was made of the same lens material as the Bausch & Lomb Soflens 59 Monthly lens (Hilafilcon B). However, I used to wear Yearly Lenses and now on Biofinity Monthly, transitioning onto Menicon RGP lenses. I don't normally wear Daily lenses (only in an emergerncy) and if I did, I don't think I would be wearing them for more than a day before I binned them.
The evidence suggests that there are SOME Daily lenses, which can be worn for a month, but certainly not all. However, people should follow their doctor's advice unless they hear to the contrary from a reputable source.

Knotlob,
I have read many of your posts and even responded to some of them. I find your posts to be clear, intelligent and persuasive.
That's why I'm amazed to read that your have worn "Bausch & Lomb Daily SofLens" for not just two days, but
"several weeks." I hope you didn't damage your eyes. Have you seen an eye doctor since you did this little experiment? Does he or she know about your wearing schedule?
I worry so much about the information contained in Lens 101. If someone damages their eyes because of something they read here, I would feel terrible, even if I wasn't directly impossible. Please be careful about the things you post and of course, more importantly, be careful how you wear your
contact lenses.
