Question about new eye contacts?

Question

I just got new contacts and I dont know how long im supposed to keep one pair. My friend throws hers away every 2 weeks.... Is that the right amount of time? Please answer!

Answer 1

oh gawd. your doctor should've told you. there's lots of different one's. the doctor asked me how clean i was cus you have to wash your hands alott. he said like the 'cleaner' you are, he will put a longer presciption on it. mine is two weeks. but really, you should just go ask your eye doctor.

(:

Answer 2

your doctor should tell you when you get them! there are many different types of contacts- daily disposables, 2 week, a month; it always varies. be sure to talk to your eye doctor about them- it can cause a serious problem if you dont change them when you need to. but dont worry- just call and they will tell you everything :)

hope i helped!

Answer 3

i throw mine away every month, even tho the doc says every 2 weeks.  but it depends on wat ur doc says and wat works for u.. and it depends on if ur eyes dry out and how they can handle it

Answer 4

Only your doctor can answer this question.  It depends on your eyes and your contacts.  Give him/her a call.
