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?

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 😅

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.

hmmmmmm okay i guess i'll move onto my next monthly pair then 😅

debris can build up under the lenses and potentially lead to eye infections or corneal complications. elevated the odds for infection. Hypoxia, Inflammation, pink eye...

eye infection risk, dry eyes, contacts shatter, etc
