What happens if i wear disposable contact lenses way after then what i’m suppose to.?

January 20th, 2010 | by admin |

I sometimes wake up with what feels like a very dry eye or i can’t see clearly for a few seconds, i put on some antibiotics.
I know i have bacteria in my eyes because since it’s right on my eye i can see it slide around like what you see in a microscope.

Disposable contacts are only made to last as long as you are told to use them. Therefore, if you use them any longer than instructed, you are at a higher risk of getting eye infections and eye ulcers. If you do not wear them everyday, you can extend their wear time a little depending on how often you do wear them. If you wear your contacts on a daily basis (even if you keep them clean), you should dispose of them properly. You eyes are very important so take care of them. Think of it like this. You change your underwear everyday and you don’t want to over wear them. SAME AS CONTACTS.

    I wear "monthly" contacts, but the contact lens companies aren’t telling you that you can wear them for three months as long as you take them out and soak them in anti-bacterial solution every night. They figured they could make more money by selling them as monthly lenses as opposed to 90-day lenses. In your case, however, if you’re having problems with your eyes, you should definitely take care of your eye problem and dispose of your current lenses, otherwise you risk damage to your eyes.
