Contact lens prescriptions change though, and bad contacts can do subtle damage to the wearer’s eye. I have permanent scarring in my eyes because I over-wore my 2 week contacts, my fault I know, but without an eye doctor appointment I would have done even more damage.

Wow, no kidding? I used to wear mine for months, maybe even close to a year. Anytime I had my eyes examined I asked how my eyes looked due to the constant wear and the optometrist told me they looked great but frowned at me doing so. I figured the disposable contact thing was mostly a racket, but I had some doubts. I wear glasses now.

These were the 2 week variety that were on sale between 2008 and 2012, after which I changed to 1 month lenses. It’s possible that newer lenses are better when worn outside the recommended range.

I’ve had the same script for 20 years.

I should add that the same thing applies to glasses.
