does anybody know the dangers of wearing monthly contacts too long?

asking for .......a friend.... who is being unnecessarily frugal and on month #3 of her first-ever pair of monthly contacts and it seems just fine?

Your... friend... is taking them out and washing them in Biotrue before storing them in a case every night, right? 🫧👀

If so I'd say a few weeks extra is not too risky. 3 months seems too long.

I've had "monthlys" for 10+ years and have always taken them out nightly, replacing monthly, because I remember my Dr. originally telling me as a kid I could go blind with an eye infection if I leave them in all month.

"2-month contacts" 🙌🏻💀

On the topic my friend showed me the Uniswap of contact lenses. It saves me a decent percent every time I order. I believe most of the companies ship internationally. If not setting up a virtual mail service is probably a good long-term move for your "friend".

haha yes! "she" takes them out every night and stores them in biotrue - occasionally also in clear care disinfecting solution which is marketed to "remove protein build up". and also doesn't wear them every single day

okay so i guess i'll change them out then and start using them as "2 month" contacts 😅
