If i am supposed to change my contacts every two weeks...?!


Question: but I don't wear them on Saturday or Sunday, do those days count as an extension. Like do I really need to change them every two weeks if I don't wear them the entire two weeks but only 5 out of the 7 days?

As long as you store your lenses in clean solution, you can wear them for 14 days. I work in a chemical lab part time, so I only wear contacts about 3 days a week and one pair lasts me for a month or so. I just jot down a "C" in my datebook and watch the number of days that I have worn them. Just inspect the lenses every day for any cloudiness, etc. before you place them in you eye and you can wear them for 14 days and store them for up to 30 days in a contact lens solution without any problems.

Two weekly disposable contact lenses have a life expectancy of 14 wears, or 1 month - whichever comes first. So you can safely keep them for roughly three weeks at your level of wear.

If you keep the contact lenses for too long, they will gradually build up deposits which could cause an infection. There is no way to see these deposits with the naked eye, unless they are huge.

Yes. Do change it as the lenses are designed for 2 week wearing.
