I would wear my 2 week disposables for 6-8 months (however, I DID take them out at night). I ended up irritating my cornea and scratching it about 2 months ago. Since then, I can't wear my contacts for more than 8 hours a day.

Lesson learned; disgard your disposables after about 4 weeks.

My best friend in high school would keep her contacts in for days at a time, even though they weren't the extended wear ones. She got a lot of eye infections.

Mine are 2-week disposable daytime lenses. I try to stretch them to 3 weeks, but they start bothering me after 2 1/2. I have stupid aspheric lenses that they have to special order.

I take mine out every night, but I have the gas permeable ones.

I never sleep in mine either. That just freaks me out. Even if I had ones that were approved for non-stop use I think it would freak me out. Of course, the thought of jabbing my finger into my eye to put in and remove the contacts freaked me out, too. Now that doesn't bother me at all. So maybe it is something that I could handle.

Ooh I just looked and my lenses are now approved for up to 6 nights wear. Maybe I'll try it.

But I do also wear mine way longer than I...

I leave mine in upwards of 18 hrs/day, but I never, ever sleep in them.

I take them out every night. Ever since I heard they can get stuck to your cornea, I don't leave them in. Ick.

you really need to take them out at night. they need air or some shit the blood vessels behind them are probably going crazier than your relatives in a jewish night club.

I kept mine in too long once...I ended up with a corneal abrasion and those aren't fun! Imagine feeling like someone's stabbing you in the eyes every time there's a slight flicker of light. I'm too terrified to sleep with mine in since then.

I can only do about 12 hours maximum or I start to get a really bad headache around my eyes.

do you at least use eye drops every day to lubricate your eyes?

Dude your eyes will fall out!

I can't wear contacts because my eyes are too sensy. My cousin used to keep his in for weeks and then his eyes would get all sorts of fucked up.

i haven't taken mine out for about 45 days now (they're 1 month night-and-day nonstop wear ones, but i figure the 30 day is flexible). i guess i should take 'em out now or risk scratching hte cornea...
