Eye Advice - See Clearly!

The term 'extended wear' for contacts may be somewhat confusing. It sometimes is used to mean contacts worn for two weeks, and sometimes it is used to mean contact lenses worn for up to 30 days. It has become common to refer to the 30-day type as continuous wear contact lenses to differentiate between the two.

By disposing of contact lenses as instructed, whether weekly or monthly, and following proper care of the lenses, it is likely you will avoid any problems associated with wearing your contacts overnight or longer. As with any contact lens, you should contact your ophthalmologist or optician if your eyes do not look right, feel good, or you are not seeing well.
