Question

I have Acuvue Oasys Contacts and the lady says change every 2 weeks but my Cuzins Doctor says ever 3 week and she has the same Acuvue Oasys Contacts. Idk if my doctors want me to run out quickly to Buy more IDK??

Answer 1

The FDA recommends they be replace every two weeks as does the manufacturer....see:  http://www.jnjvision.com/acuvue_oasys.ht...

Of course, the doctor can choose to prescribe them off-label, but runs the risk of culpability if a problem arises.

Answer 2

The manufacturer of Oasys contact lenses tested them and states that they are safe for a two week replacement schedule. Your Cunzinz Doctor says ever 3 week, so maybe she feels comfortable recommending that.

You should ask "the lady", if that lady was your doctor or her staff member.

Answer 3

it really depends. 2 to 3 weeks shd be fine.
