Dude, if you need a label to tell you to change your underwear . . .

Seriously. Why is this even an issue? You go to your eye doctor, she examines your eyes, gives you a prescription for Acuvue Oasys and tells you to change the lenses every week if you sleep in them, or every two weeks if you don't. That's it. Why do anything else?

I look at some of these posts and think "Can people really be that cheap? I bet these people are the type who re-use coffee grounds and paper towels."

We're talking about your eyes here, people! If you're too cheap to wear contact lenses properly, wear glasses. How hard is that? If it pains you to think that you're throwing away "perfectly good" contact lenses after wearing them "only" two weeks, wear glasses. You can wear those for years without damaging your eyes.

If your eye doctor tells you to change your contact lenses every week, don't try and go for a month. It's so pointless. It's like you said earlier, "your eyeball or your dollar." I, for one, would rather save my sight than my money. If your eyes are damaged by worn out contact lenses, how is the money you saved going to help you then? This should be a no-brainer.
