Physiology & Medicine / Can daily contact lenses be worn two days running?
« on: 01/08/2007 23:37:12 »
Having read a contact lens post on this forum, I have decided to ask my own question.
For about 2 years now, I have been effectively doubling the supply of daily lenses I buy, by wearing them for 2 days instead of daily and storing them in soft contact lens solution over night in between. I have had no problems whatsoever with this, maybe twice in those 2 years a lens has split in my eye, but the piece was easily gotten out! I have been told that it is O.K. by one optician and then was advised against it by another (trying to sell me more lenses perhaps?!). I was wondering what your views would be on this and if there is any risk. Many thanks!
