hey /fit/ how long should I wear a pair of contact lenses before I should change them?I used to change them every other month or so but, because my supply is running low, I held on to the last pair for about 6 months. I only wear them when I go out to bars or on dates or anytime I need to dress up a bit (which is really like 3 times a week tops for a few hours).how do you know they've gone bad? are there any consequences to wearing the same pair so long?
Depends on what kind. You can get one a day disposable, or pairs that you can use for a month.
Not op here. I wear contacts that you can put in for 30 days at a time.I USED to wear contacts in which I had to take out every night.It depends on which pair you have. I can tell when mine are feeling bad when they irritate my eyes.However, a friend of mine leaves his in for 3 months at a time with no irritation.As for consequences, bacteria builds up on the lends over time so you do run the risk of infection.
Wow, horrible spelling mistakes.
SPOILERS: LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE FUCKING BOXIF YOU NEED MORE BUY MORE CONTACTS.OR SAVE SOME MONEY AND GET LASIK DONE.
Entirely depends on the type of contacts. On occasion, I use daily disposables, so at the end of the day, I just throw them in the trash. Used to have permanent lenses years ago and the daily rinsing and tablet cleansings were a hassle.
OP here, I have the kind you change monthly. I've never had any sort of infection, but did get a major irritation when I used to leave them in for days at a time (happened during allergy season). I have three pairs left including the ones I just opened; hoping that should hold our at least until next year.
i have monthly disposible as well. I take them out at the end of the day. On average I wear them for 10 hours a day. No big deal.And you're a lazy fuck if you can't spend 5 minutes total a day putting them on and taking them off. Jesus.
I AM a lazy fuck, which is why I also have a pair of glasses I wear most of the time.
>>388958I've heard that laser eye surgery ruins your night vision. T/F?
i wear contacts that i'm supposed to discard and open a new pair every month...i of course take them out every night...i never understood how fuckers can wear their contacts for like days at a time...if i leave mine in for more than like 16 hours my eyes become horribly dry.
