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 of the contact lens falling apart in your eye, accumulating crud, and falling apart in the solution. There ya go.

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

More reasons to replace your daily contact lenses daily.

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. ![]() |

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. |

I hope you've given up this habit and you now wear your contact lenses properly. I'm sorry about being disrespectful, but there are a lot of people who read Lens 101. It's one of the best, most well-researched, and accurate forums on line. If even one person reads this post and injures their eyes by wearing daily disposable lenses for two weeks or more because they read this thread, I'm going to feel really bad. |

Don't misunderstand my meaning, I just tell my experience, I've never recomended anyone to do like this, but even up to now, still a lot of peple wear 1 Day Acuvue for over 1 day's time, as far as I know, few of them get any sickness, it is a truth. I emphasize again I don't recomend anyone to do like that!

Let me add my thanks again to all those who contributed to this thread. That's my number one concern for people who wear contacts lenses. I'd hate for them to have problems because they over-wear their contacts.

I'm glad you said that, Ynot. Contact lens over wear is so preventable! All you have to do is take your daily disposable contacts out at the end of the day. That's it. You can save yourself a lot of grief by taking this one simple step.
