Why is it contact lenses are only good for a finite amount of time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All contact: Lenses have been designed for a specific length of usage. There are many parameters that determine what this is. You would be very foolish not to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding this. You only have 2 eyes - take excellent care of them!
