Answers: everyday , and dont sleep with them in .

You should clean your contacts everyday. When you take them out make sure you put them in clean solution every night and every morning clean them again by rubbing them in your palm with clean solution. If you look at it closly after you take it out you will notice how dirty it is.

well I clean mine about every 3 days. i wear mine constantly. I sleep with them, so it depends on what ones you have

Contacts should be cleaned and stored after every wear. So for most people, this means cleaning them daily. You should use fresh solution daily too, when you take them out for the night and put them in the contact case. I clean my contacts at night before putting them in the case, then I just rinse them with some solution in the morning before I put them on.

Even if you have extended wear contacts, it's still best to clean them every day. It will really help prevent eye infections, and discomfort that can be caused from dirty contacts or protein buildup.

I have continuous wear contacts where I can leave mine in for a month, i even sleep in them. After a month i take them out and throw them away and wear glasses for 2-3 days, I then put fresh contacts in. I have been doing this for 4 years and opticians are ok with it.

It depends on what contacts you wear, its best to ask your optician.
