Dailies Contact Lenses

Can I wear my disposable contact lenses, which I normally change monthly, one hour a day for a year?

I just got new glasses, and if I wear my disposable contact lenses one hour a day for exercising and then the rest of the day wear glasses, it would seem crazy to me to throw away the contact lenses every month since I would only be wearing them for a fraction of the time. If you do the math, one hour a day compared to 15 hours a day of normal use, I could really wear them for 15 months. Is my logic faulty?

1. I would think so. That does logically make sense. Say you exercise one hour every day of the month, which is thirty or thirty-one hours...that equals only two regular days of wear. I don't see anything wrong with it; it would seem like a waste to throw them out without them being used that often.
2. be very careful with that notion...i used to work for three Ophthalmologists and 1 eye doctor....we seen cases of overuse that cost people their eye sight......at the minimum very painful issues...........
3. Yeah, you probably can as long as they don't begin to rip from being put in and taken out so much.
4. no.. i wore mine for 3 hours a weeek.. used 1 pair (monthlies also) for close to a year.
