This actually happened to me. Spent two months on the other side of the planet. When I landed I realized I didn't pack my contacts. I just wore the same pair the whole time and was fine.
- nickjj 1y agoIs there a comfort difference between daily contacts and monthly? When you wore yours for 2 months, what type was it?
- heavyset_go 1y agoThese were dailies. I was either wearing an Acuvue brand or I had already switched to Daysoft, I forget. I talked to my optometrist and they told me that most contacts are the same material, and bi-weeklies/etc are just slightly thicker for durability. I was diligent about cleaning them, while at the same time being gentle so I didn't tear them. I was also very cautious about swimming with them, touching them or otherwise doing anything that might promote eye infections. Comfort-wise, they were fine, but it felt like they shrank slightly over time, if that makes sense.
