I have worn one pair for up to 4 days, storing in solution overnight, and this is when I have had the most problems with breakage, when I try to make them last and handle them a lot. They also tend to break when you get more aggressive with removing them from your eye.

I have also, very rarely however, had them break while in my eye, necessitating a PITA find the broken half in my eye and remove it session. This sucks, and it the biggest drawback to these more delicate contacts. But honestly, this is rare—maybe 3 times in a little over 2 years.

All in all, as a heavy protein depositer, these dailies have been a godsend and I love them (monthly contacts get such a protein build up in my eyes that they are painful after 10-12 days).

They are also superb soft toric lenses—always falling into position and never rotating (blurring) whatsoever at all. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the positive review, Toddster63. I only have one question, and it's about something you said right at the beginning. You say you have worn your Focus Dailies for up to four days. You know you're not supposed to do that right? Unless your eye doctor says otherwise, you should change your Focus Dailies, well, daily.
Remember that this is a public forum and someone might get hurt because they read something here about a member who wears their Focus Dailies for four days and decide to try it themselves. It's like they say on TV: "Don't Try This At Home."
