I open them up, pour the saline into the contact container, wear them that day, the next day and then throw them out.

have not had any issues.

thing I always wonder is, are they the same material on the 30 day contacts?

I wear the 30 day contacts for 2-3 months.

I take it pretty far. I just changed out a set this morning that I'd been wearing for about 18 months.

It takes me about a month to go through the 5 strips of dailys. Treat them like you would ones that last longer, put them in solution, but I also don't wear them all day working from home.

I used to wear my 2 week contacts for like 2 months without taking them out.

I got lasik, though, so I'm better than you now. :l

I usually go about 3-6 months depending on how they feel. I might take them out to clean once a month. I’ve been wearing contacts for 25 years and never had any issues.

Ive worn the same pair for nearly a year. I also take them out every night religiously.

Acuvue is shite. Garbage.

AirOptix for life.

the ones I use are one day and throw out. Just have no idea how far you can push them.

Depends on if I forget to order more. They used to come in pretty quick, but not so much anymore. I’m on day 3 of my current pair and I’ll stretch them another day or two unless my new order comes in.

The peroxide stuff with the red cap seems to help extend wear time if I have to.

My allergies are shite and the daily wear have really helped. I just suck at remembering to
Order more before I’m almost out.

I take mine out every night but wear them for months. Never had a problem. Eventually they start feeling weird so I’ll use a new set. I can take a three month set of contacts and they’ll go for over a year. . But I’ve been wearing them since HS so I’m used to them.

Use this stuff every night and you’ll be able to wear contacts for triple the amount of time.

I don’t know what brand I have but I’m so blind my options are limited with dailies

It may be the only brand in my prescription.

I’ve been using it for probably 15 years and it’s awesome.
