Question: What is soo bad about leaving 2week contacts in 4 a month!?
Answers:
If you're going to be cheap about contact lenses, invest in a pair of glasses because leaving a 2 week lens in for a month can cause eye infections, irritation to the eye including cornieal abrasions and in severe cases, blindness!. I've even had a patient who left them in so long they dried out ON the persons eye and it became like glue, they had to surgically PEEL it off her eye!. Not fun!

2 week lenses are just that for a reason!.!. they only have a 2 week shelf life once placed into the eye!. There ARE lenses out there that last for a month or more and they're not much more expensive than then ones you have now!. And it would be alot better to have those than risk eye injury that could be permenant! Ask your eye doctor about Focus Night and Day lenses, these you wear for 30 days and you can sleep in them!. You dont have to take them out!. I wear them and LOVE them!.

But DONT keep using your 2 week lenses like this!. It could cause serious harm!.

What do you mean!? Please rephrase!.

2 week contacts can only be worn for about 14 times but not actually 2 weeks!. If during the 2 weeks you only worn them only twice etc, then they are still good!.

However, if you overwear them, you can risk infections as dirt clogs up the lenses and can obstruct your eyes from 'breathing'!. You cannot clean them, no matter how much you rub etc!.

I sometimes store 2 week contacts for up to a month but not actually wear them for a month, (during my school holidays) but I regularly change the solution!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well apparently from what the optometrist tells me is that there are micro tears in the contacts and that could hurt the eye!.
I have worn my contacts longer than i should and while I am wearing them it doenst feel bad until I get a fresh pair and then I can tell they feel a bit rigid!. But mainly I think it is for the infections and health of the eye over all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eye infections!. You are more prone to infecions when you over use the contacts!. Protein build up as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
