How Long Can You Comfortably Wear Frequency 55 Torics?

Being a daily disposable contact lens, I'm assuming that you can wear Frequency 55 Toric contacts for about 12 hours before it has to be thrown away. Is that a maximum or a minimum? Would it be okay to wear them for, say, 16 hours?

It's hard to make a general statement on the Internet about contact lens use like that. As always, check with your eye doctor. Still, if I were to give you a sort of dodgy answer to your question I'd say that as long as you are healthy and can take care of your contacts, 12-16 hours. When they start to get uncomfortable, take them out.

I didn't know a Frequency 55 Toric was a daily disposable lens.. seems pretty pricey for that.

It is designed as a one month disposable. I wear mine as a one month dispsable but wear them daily and take them out at night?

Again, like the other member said, when they get uncomfortable take them out. But, I know my doc want's mine out a minimum of 3 hrs before I go to bed so my eyes get good oxygen exposure before going to sleep.

Hope this helps

I currently were these contact lenses....but my optometrist is switching me over to Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism because I'm not able to wear the Frequency 55 Toric for more then about 8 hours its like I'm going to work and take them off right away as I get back home. Its not what I call a complete day.

I checked and it doesn't say how long you can wear Frequency 55 Torics, but thet do come six lenses to a box, just like monthly and two-week contacts, so it's unlikely these are daily disposable, which usually come in boxes of 30.

Anybody know for sure?

Frequency 55 are Torics are not daily disposable, they are monthly contact lenses.
