Because i have contacts and I am supposed to put new ones in on October1st,but i don't have any new ones and i can't get an eye appointment until the 2nd,then i have to wait about 1 week until they come,so is it ok to leave them in a little bit longer then 1 month!? or is it bad!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's fine as long as you clean them very carefully!. I had this same problem!. But I cleaned them super good every night, and I wore my glasses on weekends when I wasn't going out!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Every brand and type of contact lens must be approved for use in the United States by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)!. If your lenses are supposed to be replaced every month, that means that in clinical studies, the lenses were proved to be statistically safe for up to 1 month of wear, but not longer than that!. Whenever you wear your lenses longer than recommended, you run an increased risk of infection and irritation (from tiny scratches and rips in the lens)!. How much oxygen gets through the lens is a different matter having more to do with the material that the lens is made from than the age of the lens!.
As far as your specific situation:
If you replace your lenses on the first of every month, that means that some months you wear your lenses 31 days!. Since September has only 30 days, you wouldn't be wearing your lenses any longer than you did in August!. Once you get to your appointment, tell your doctor that you are out of lenses and he or she may have a pair of lenses in stock that you can have on the day of your appointment!.

NO its not fine, make sure you ake them out exactly when your due to, b then they are out of date, its like eating something thats 2 weeks out of date its just no ok!. your lenses will have expired, your eyes can get ifections, there is protie built up on your lenses etc, its just not worth it you will end up with big puffy conjunctavitus eyes!. Wear your glasses, PEOPLE WHO WEAR GLASSES SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP PAIR OF GLASSES AS ITS NEVER HEALTHY TO WEAR YOUR LENSES EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK YOU NEED AT LEAST ONE DAY BREAK FROM THEM!. wear your glasses and in future make sure you book your apoint well in advance bfore you run out, good luck chick xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com
I do it all the time!. My contacts are supposed to be thrown out after a month but i use them for two months then throw them away!. But the doctors office should give you a pair at your appointment if you say you don't have any left!. Ask for a trial pair, they should give you one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I usually do that!. It does irritate sometimes but it's better than using glasses in my opinion!. Well, actually I'd rather go out blind than wear glasses!. I'm not sure if it's bad for your eyes though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think after they expire they begin to irritate your eyes, but I could be wrong as I have never had glasses/contacts before!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
