Is There really any harm in wearing 1-day contacts for more then 1 day?

Question

Ok I just started wearing contact lenses & i got the 30 day biofinity lenses I also purchased some color contact's "focus dailies in green for fun. I wore the dailies out this weekend and didn't remember to bring my backup glasses so I ended up wearing them for a couple of day's. Now I was wondering I know they say you can only wear them for one day and you need to throw them away at night. but what is the risk if I took them out at night cleaned with solution and wore them for the weekend?

Answer 1

I have wore mine for weeks at a time.  I even sleep in mine.  The only problem with that is, your eyes are dry when you wake up.  I have never had an eye infection or any problems.

But it is not a good practice.

Answer 2

No, if you are a clean person and can keep your contacts clean, try to get 2 to 3 days our of your daily lenses. Thats what i do and it works perfectly for me. However, if the contacts hurt after 1 day then switch them everyday for maximum comfort

Answer 3

nothing happens actually--it depends on the brand

there r some that can give u infections and may cause BLINDNESS--

so my advice will be TRY TO PURCHASE the oens that can last for a year--

and nver wear lenses when ull about to sleep--they can cause irritation

Answer 4

they will get harder and may scratch your eyes. just 4 days sounds fine as long as you cleaned them properly. but they may get dry in which case you could need eyedrops during that time if you try it again.

Answer 5

Nothing really - it's not a good habit to get into though. Those contacts start to deteriorate quicker than long wear lenses. If you wear them too long they can damage your eyes by either causing your eyes to not focus correctly or by breaking down and scratching your eyes. If you're eyes aren't sore and you are still seeing normal then you're fine. You just don't want to do it again if it can be avoided --- you'll end up being forced to wear your glasses for weeks while your eyes heal (best case scenario) if something goes wrong.

Answer 6

The contacts themselves can start to fall apart even while in your eye.  And in some cases can give you a nasty eye infection that could cause you to go blind.  It's best to always follow directions when it comes to your contacts.

Answer 7

Dailies are to be worn for one day and then throw out. Dont even re-use it. Biofinity is a very good lenses.

Answer 8

i wear 1 day lenses,and on occasion i've fallen asleep at night with them in, usually i wake after a few hours and my eyes are gummed up and sore,this makes removing them harder.. if i'm going out i always keep spare lenses with me or i take my glasses.It'snot worth taking the risk
