Default Why One Day Disposables Really Only Last One Day
There are probably thousands if not millions of people out there wondering if they can wear daily disposable contacts for more than one day. Well . . . you really can't, and here's why.

Basically there are three reasons. Daily disposables are designed to be cheap, not durable. They are not designed to

1) hold up to all that handling
2) stay clear of deposits or
3) be stored in contact lens cleaning solution for any length of time.

So if you wear these more than one time, you run the risk if the contact lens falling apart in your eye, accumulating crud, and falling apart in the solution.

There ya go.

Good to know! I'll warn my father because to save money he wears them at least two days in a row. I'm not sure if he even takes them out at night.

That sounds like my entire family, aside from the keeping-in-at-night part.

they WILL not fall apart but will disposable so much protein and lipid that your eye would hate them, also they dont deliver enough oxygen to the eye to sleep in in effect suffocating the eye over night

Talking
in 2001, i tried to wear 1 day acuvue for two weeks, daily wear, rub and store in solutin.

i wore 5 pairs, totally i wore for 10 weeks, but i didn't suffer any uncomfort, and the eyesight was clear all day long.

but at that time, 1 day acuvue was different from now, its central thickness was 0.07mm, now is 0.084mm.

however, i never suggest anyone to wear like me. i just tell my wearing experience.

It's good to hear from a professional, WebEyeStore. Thank you.

I've seen some really crummy contact lens forums out there that are rampant with non-professional and just plain wrong information. It's good to see that Lens 101 generally steers away from that sort of thing.
