Can i use old contact lens? i mean ones that have past their expiration date?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expired contacts: Do not use contact lenses that have expired. They sit in a solution that has a shelf life. Doing so puts you at risk for problems including infection that can lead to severe vision loss (blindness) or even loss of eye.
