1. I have worn daily lenses for a month but you must clean and sterilise them or you get eye infections and be careful not rip them when you take them out
2. I'm an optician, and I've seen countless people extend the life of disposable contact lenses. This can cause corneal damage, permanent scratching of the eye surface, or bacterial infections. I've actually seen a patient that had worn a permanent hole in the lens of their eye that had bacteria coming through it from the back of their eye. It also caused him to have partial blindness in that eye. It's not a very good idea. You only have one set of eyes, so if you're extending the life of your contacts because of the cost, you should alternate your glasses and contacts. Be very careful to make sure you stick to your prescribed wearing schedule, and ALWAYS change the solution in your case when removing the lenses from it, as bacteria will hang out there.
3. I think it will be conflict on your eyes if you wear a contact lens more than period given like being distorted.Try to watch this video really interesting.
