How long to wear Acuvue Oasys contacts?

Question

I just got changed contact brands from Biomedics 55 to Acuvue Oasys. During the summer I hardly wear my contacts at all, even though I don't have glasses. Also, I go to camp for a week. At camp I wear my contacts almost all day. Is that okay to wear them longer that usual for a week, because I don't wear them a lot?

Answer 1

Yes, for acv oasys it is ok. no problem at all.

Answer 2

Acuvue Oasys are recommended for 2 weeks of wear.  That works out to 14 uses, assuming  you don't let 2 months go by in between use.  If you do,  you need to keep a log and make sure you are changing the storage usage as recommended.

Answer 3

acuvue oasys is a 2 week lens, meaning you can wear them for 14 days total, if you aren't using them on a daily basis you can spread that out for longer periods of time.

It is okay to wear them for longer periods of time while at camp, just remember to take them out, (i cant tell you how many careless patients come in with corneal scarring because they slept in their contact lenses.) The normal range of hourly wear time is about 12-14 hours a  day. Hope this helps!
