A member asked:

How long are contacts good after expiration date?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

We don' know: We don't know for sure. That is why they have an expiration date! using them beyond tat date is at your own risk. I would not recommend it.

None: I wouldn't take a chance...There is an expiration date for a reason....I would get new unexpired contacts...Not worth the risk to use out-dated product...
