Dailies Contact Lenses

What will happen if i over wear my 2 weeks disposable contact lens?

I was recommended B&L's toric lens, but I didn't know that these toric lens are 2 weeks replacement lens. i cannot afford to change it every 2 weeks. will there be any side effect if i wear them for 1 month?

1. Maybe. You may lose the use of your eyes entirely. I have monthly change lenses, and the optometrist warned me very severly to change them when I am supposed to. Blindness sucks, and is permanent. If you can only afford 12 pairs a year not 24 then wear them for 2 weeks, and go without for 2 weeks. Or find more money.
2. you could get: dry eye, corneal ulcers, giant papillary conjunctivitis, serious infections, and/or corneal neovascularization
3. You probably can safely extend them by 1 week. But you must keep the lenses and your eyes clean, and if there is the slightest bit of irritation/redness, etc. take them out. With each set extend the wear by a few days and work your way up to an extra week or 2 if no problems occur. I have 3 month lenses and easily get 6-9 months out of them, but I'm a stickler for cleanliness and if there's the slightest sign of a problem, I throw them out and get out a new pair.
4. yah u can wear it for one month
