    Hi Optometry Forums,

    *Situation*
    I have been wearing Acuvue dailies for years, only putting on my glasses at night. Recently, I purchased new glasses that I enjoy wearing now. Now, I find myself only wearing my dailies for about 1 hour/day while I work out. Then, I inevitably end up throwing them out after the work out and putting my glasses on. This seems awfully wasteful.

    *Advice?*
    Would it be okay for me to wear my dailies for an hour, then put them in a contact lens case with solution and use them the next day? If so, for how long could I do this?

    Is there a better long term solution for my new situation, given that I prefer to wear my glasses out? Should I get non-daily contact lenses? Or something else I'm not considering?

    Thank you,
