Is it possible to clean, store and reuse daily disposable contact lenses?

Question

Don't worry, I'm not going to try it!

I only ask because there's been times when I've stayed at a friends house after a night out, and luckily had spares lenses with me for the morning.

If I hadn't had the spare lenses with me, I wonder if it would have been possible to store and reuse the daily disposables I was wearing, using her cleaning fluid and a spare lens case (she wears monthlies)?

Answer 1

Yes, I've done it and it's fine. Don't wear them more than twice though. Daily lenses are thinner then regular ones and they might eventually tear.

Answer 2

Your not meant to but i dont know why not if you were putting it in the fluid for the monthlies!

maybe they arent thick enough and the fluid thins them out

not sure, talk to your optometrist

Answer 3

It is possible but definitely not advisable.  Dailies are not meant to be cleaned so you don't know how the material will stand up to the cleaning solution and rubbing of the lens.  Why risk doing your eyesight damage, just to avoid a minor inconvenience like not having contacts for a few hours?
