I love fresh contacts - they're like new eyes :)

Had been going on 4 months with my previous pair - think I took them out once the entire time Put some new ones in tonight - good as new

And another

Is it worth the risk?

Take your lenses out at night folks, your corneas need oxygen.

Bausch and Lomb PureVision Extended wear contacts p0wn3 Yeah - should have pushed it to 4 months, but they're approved for 30 days of extended use

Are you that lazy to not take out your contacts?

They may say they can be worn constantly, but in reality it's really not ok for your eyes to constantly have contacts in. A couple of nights with them in is ok, but not a month (or four).

I used to keep my lenses in a LONG time, until I developed sores on the insides of my eyelids. Suckage. Now I don't even wear the contacts full time, I make sure to take breaks and go back to glasses for a while. I still sleep in them a lot, though. I don't have any vessels in my corneas, but they sure do get irritated after a while.

And yes, nothing beats a fresh pair of contacts. Especially after letting your eyeballs rest for a month or so with glasses.

yes it works great for occasional use,
but permanent.. hmm, I dont know, yeah u can get rid of spectacles.. but it can get try and tired sometimes.

I never use contact lenses when I am in class , only for outing and sports.
Hence the temporary ones are awesome.

I'd wear my contacts for months at a time. Never screwed up my eyes from doing it, although the little blood vessels were grewing toward the middle of my eye. Got lasik done early this year, best money spent.

 

[Confused]

Most i've gone with mine is up to the recommended 30 days - not sure how you were able to push them to 4 months - they start to irritate my eyes after 30 days and I want to change them!

BTW, I wear the same lenses as you do!

Ouch... if I don't take mine out every night I'd feel horrible.

I ALWAYS take my lenses out at night.... I go several months on a pair of 1 month contacts too, but I take 'em out at night

I always take them out. I refresh them every 15 days (15 day contacts). My eyes actually start hurting if I go past the 15 days.

I noticed a huge difference in using brand name solution vs store name solution. My 1 month contacts used to get scratchy after 1 month using Walgreen solution, but now with Renu it's a lot better.
