A member asked:

Is it bad to wear contacts every day even if they are top of the line? should eyes be given a break and will this effect the health of eyes long term?

Maybe: I generally recommend to patients to take out contacts when they get home, wear their glasses for a few hours. Also, wear glasses one day per week, if you can.

No: If cared for properly, contact lenses can be worn daily with no long term ill effects. I have many patients who have done so for years.
