And you will get AIDS and die

Answer 2

you can get a bad infection

Answer 3

if its clean and has no prescription on it, no problem!!!

Answer 4

Dont listen to the other people, theyre just miserable.

Say if your contacts say to wear them for 2 weeks and you wear them for an extra couple weeks nothing will happen.

But if you have year-or 2 year old contacts then it could damage your eye.

It all depends wether you have kept them clean for the duration you have had them, and how well they have been taken care of.

Check in with your eye docter, the side affects shouldent kill you though :D

Answer 5

your eyes will bleed profusly and then fall out at exactly 7.2 secdonds after you put them in... trust me its bad

Answer 6

Didn't yahoo just restructure itself to help get rid of stupid answerers faster?  Guess not.

I'm assuming "lessons" was a typo and you meant "lenses."  

If by "old" you mean lenses you should have thrown out but you wear them longer, you put yourself at risk for corneal neovascularization, dry eye, infections, corneal ulcers, etc.

If by "old" you mean an old prescription, it shouldn't hurt your vision at all; you just won't see as clearly as you could.  Your eyes will adjust to lenses as best as possible but will also adjust to new lenses.

If by "old" you mean expired, I suppose the material of the lens may deteriorate somewhat or the solution may lose its sterility (although if they are still sealed, pathogens should not be able to get in).

If you meant something else, please post more details.  :)
