How long can I wear my contact lenses for?!
Question: How long can I wear my contact lenses for!?
I have encore toric lenses by coopervision!. My fitter tells me that I can only wear them up to 12 hrs max!. However, there were days where I wore them for up to 16hrs!. Is this ok!? What is the longest duration that I can wear my lenses for!?!? I have some days where I need to be out for a long time so more hours would be great!. Please help me out! Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your optician is correct: you should wear them no longer than the recommended twelve hours!. Yeah, I know, I see patients all the time who got into the same habit; wearing the darn things a few hours longer than recommended!. Unfortunately for them, they've usually done permanent damage to their eyes by the time they realize their mistake!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
My optician says it's 12 hours a day with at least one day without lenses!. I usually wear them 6!.30 am - 7!.00pm but sometimes it's longer!. I generally make sure I take them out as soon as I get home and at the weekend I just put them in when going out!. A friend of mine though is okay to wear them at least 15 hours a day at least 6 days a week so it's hard to be prescriptive!.
I wear monthly disposables that can be worn for the full month although I only wear them for 12 hours a day!. He still says I should leave them out for a day a week!. I usually do but there are some times where I need to wear them 7 days a week but I always make sure I take the necessary tests!. Just be careful and listen to your eyes, if they get sore you should see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
