I primarily wear RGPs for 16-20 hours per day but every now and then wear my Focus Dailies...and I wear those for the same amount of time. I would say they are safe to wear however long your "day" is; just don't sleep in them. My eyes feel more fatigued as the day goes on with Dailies (or any soft lens) compared to my
Boston ES RGPs, which stay comfortable all day.
