1. till your eyes get dry... 3 weeks.. i do
2. 1 day.
3. Daily=24 hours, maybe?
4. hence the word "daily"
5. i have daily contacts but my eye docter told me to dispose of them every three days, so basically two times a week
6. if theyre called daily, wouldnt that explain it?
7. well daily ones are made for just a day use, but u can probably wear is for a week. But at the end of that week the contacts vision will start to be blurry, dry, and sometimes hurt. So i dont suggest it and i would rather buy the contacts that u can use for 1 month for each pair, u just have to put in a contact case and clean it. the ones where u can sleep with it on and keep it on for a month without taking it out, that crap cost a lot so i dont suggest that one either.
8. daily. means one day.
9. the hint is in the name DAILY... for ONE day
10. You can wear them for as many hours as you like - just take them out before you go to bed and throw them away. If your eyes start to get really dry and drops don't help, it's time to take them out.
11. daily
12. errr daily means one day
13. Your answer is in your question...if it says daily then its daily...go back and ask for monthly ones.
14. I've been using Focus Dailies for a long time now. I have worn them for close to a whole day, but I do not recommend it. By that point your eyes will get dry and the contacts might fall out. I usually wear them from 7am to 10pm or so...you just have to find out what is comfortable for you. But when you first get the contacts, you need to start out wearing them for 3-4 hours, then each day wear them an hour longer so your eyes can adjust. Hope that helps :)
15. You should start of gradually ...ie only for a couple of hours a day at the start then build up to all day ........... Do not leave them in after a drunken night out ...I did once not good believe me Confirm with your local opticians for the best advise
16. I was told 6-8 hours but I wear them for much longer than that and I have no problems! :)
17. The idea of the daily wear lenses is for the convenience of not having to buy solution to clean and store them. So, if you are going to do that anyway by wearing them longer than a day, why don't you get the 2 week disposables instead. It would be a lot cheaper than the daily wear. You are defeating the purpose of a daily wear lens, so why pay for them. Daily lenses are the most expensive way to go.
