Dailies Contact Lenses

Can I wear a pair of daily contacts for more than one day by storing them after each day?

I would take them out after the day then put them in a contacts case (that the eye doctor gave me for some reason) filled with a multi-purpose eye contact solution. They are dailies so I don't know.

1. Yes. Call the eye doctor and ask - contacts are good for 7 days, some for 30 days. Depends on the contacts.
2. You could, but it's not a good idea. There's a reason they only make them for one day.
3. If you are cleaning them well & not sleeping in them, you should be OK. I have a patient who could make them last for almost a week. You just want to make sure you carry an extra set with you, in case they get stretched out of shape & rub out of your eye.
4. No, if you wish to have contact lenses that you store overnight, you need to be switched from dailies into a monthly lens. Daily lenses are not made to withstand more than one day of wear.
