re: Questions for fellow contact wearers

1)I change mine daily whenever I do wear them.
2) Before I got dailies I usually kept the same pair for maybe a week.
3) Never sleep in them on purpose. I got a corneal abrasion once from napping in them and it sticking to my eye while I napped. Was painful as hell and I had to wear an eye patch for comfort, looking like a pirate for a couple days, as well as see an eye doctor for drops.
CDC says avoid sleeping in them due to increased risk for infection.

I have the weekly brand, breathable.
1. Typically between 2 and 4 weeks.
2. Probably 6/7 weeks.
3. Sleep in them every night. They do not irritate me until after a few weeks, that’s when I take them out and put in a new pair.

I have the monthly wear. Have had the same pair in for a couple months. I put them in, and take them out at some point from a month to two months later and put in a new pair. I never take them out at night. No irritation.
Have had the same prescription for about 15 years. Once every 2-3 years I go back to doc to check it. Then I order from Vision direct U.K. When prescription runs out. Can't buy them in US without valid prescription. Medical lobby in this country is fricking ridiculous.

Once a month
little over months
never sleep in them on purpose, because I'll wake up with some fish scales in my eyes

I use daily wear contacts, but I'll use a pair for months before changing them out. I take them out every night before bed and soak them, other than that, I'll use a pair until I can't use them anymore. I very rarely get eye infections.

Maybe 5-6 weeks, I get bad eye allergies from Mar-July ish so it depends on the time of year.

I don't, but I do know when I take a nap with them in I wake up feeling like I'm looking through a cloud

one of the cool things i've noticed about wearing contacts, i can chop tones of onions without shedding a single tear.

Anyone who changed from monthly to daily would you recommend them?

i certainly do. fresh contacts every morning. no need for the containers to store them in. no wondering "is this the day my contacts go bad".

That's the biggest selling point, when my prescription runs out in February I'm going to ask about them.

1. Months.
2. Probably 5-6 months
3. Sleep in them every night and rarely if ever take them out to clean. No irritation. I can’t even tell that they’re in.

I can’t imagine going back after making the switch a few years ago. Dailies are SO convenient. Well worth the minimal extra expense.

Alcon Dailies
What I have and they are too easy, but pretty damn expensive (I have astigmatism). I throw em out every night and start with a new pair every day. Sometimes I will forget to order and have to stretch my last couple pairs for about a week. I never sleep in them. I have the dry eyes and sleeping in them really screws me up for a couple days and I will have to wear my glasses.
