Hi I have just started a trial of daily throw awayable soft contact
lenses.
Before this I had Monthly ones and only used them a few times a week,
so kept the same pair in use for over 2 months (changing the solutions
every two or three days)...now then onto my question, if i only use my
daily lenses for 2 or 3 hours a day, can i safely re use them again the
next day, if cleaned properly.
Also how is the lenses made differently from the monthly ones...IE:
what gives it a "Daily" property

Thanks

I posted a similar question regarding the 2 week disposables a while ago.
This may seem crazy, but I have been using the same pair now for over 2
months with no problems. I use a perozxide solution nightly and notice no
difference compared to the first day I opened them. This is my first
successful time with soft lenses (Acuvue Advance) and these have had a BIG
impact on the quality of my life. Maybe one day this pair will just
disintegrate? I don't know, but so far they keep working.

Thanks people for your responce, will bear in mind that I could use
them for more than one day, would certainly save me some money, and
save the enviroment at the same time...hey just call me BONO.. ha ha
