will anything horrible happen if I reuse daily disposable lens after cleaning with the lens cleaning solution?
I know it is not good to use the daily disposables since they are intended for one day use only. But, my appointment is on monday and I dont have contact lens for tomorrow. Will it be okay if I clean it with the solution thoroughly and use it for another day

- It is risky, and the infections that can happen with things like that are not pleasant. There is no guarantee anything will go wrong, of course, and the odds are that everything will be fine, but you are exposing yourself to unnecessary risk, they're just not meant to be cleaned and re-used.
- Eye infections are totally uncool. If you have a pair of glasses, use them instead.
- It's best not to do that, but I have 2 week contact lens and I don't change them for like 2 months lol...it hasnt hurt me yet...KNOCK ON WOOD!
- You will get Giant Pulmonary Conjunctivitis and then you will die.
- It has been proven through third party laboratories that the monthly, weekly and daily contact lenses have the same parameters such as the amount of water and ampunt of polymer used. Johnson and Johnson (Acuvue lenses) were sued for the issue. View the Link for further details: People who commented said that they use daily lenses for up to 2 weeks and they have no problems with it! My theory is that if you clean them and leave them overnight in solution they should be good to use next day. Overnight they will soak up the solution into them, returning them to the state that they were in from the initial package. Hope this helps
