This can’t possibly be good for your eyes op… you’ll probably regret doing this later…
Goddamn dude. You’re gonna go blind. Just rolling the dice everyday
I did, not for as long, but maybe 1.5 years. Same extended contacts in all the time. I got checked and no long term effects. Since I know I don’t have the ability to take them out and rinse them. I switched to dailies and it solved the problem.
I started wearing contacts in 1985 back then they were hard contacts. You had to clean them everyday. They were junk basically. Then they developed into what I wore for many years which was Bosch and Lomb acuvue soft contact lenses disposable. I wore these all the way up until 2024. I slept in them. I did everything in them. I would leave them in for months at a time only to have one fallout and just put another one right back in my eyesight’s fine. The only change is basically because of my age but I have gone back to wearing glasses only because I was having to wear cheater glasses in order to read and l and I was having a hard time seeing the lens in order to put it in my eye Plus I had about four four eye infections last year and I said enough was enough so I went back to wearing glasses. I don’t recommend doing that. I recommend doing whatever your doctor told you to do. Mine told me take them out weekly then then it went to take him out nightly the last few years but I still didn’t still didn’t. I wore them till they fell out or felt dirty. Then I took them out. Put new ones in repeat. Like I said I recommend doing whatever your optometrist told you to do. You only got one set of eyes. You better take care of them
Gross
I would definitely not do that. you only have one set of eyes!!
Your eyes are important, please take better care of them.
All it takes is one infection to set in and your eyes stop working. This is fucking stupid.
Like I said I had no lasting effects. I came out just fine and I no longer word contacts. I have them but I just choose to wear the glasses. They’re bifocals. It’s just easier. Plus no matter what you do when you wear contact lenses for $40 plus years, you’re going to have pink eye once in awhile. Unfortunately it does leave scarring but in my case it was very little in my eyesight’s just fine. I’ve been wearing glasses and contact lenses since I was too and I’m 56 now I also said I did not recommend it for anyone. I was just fortunate
