I wore a single pair of monthly contact lenses that I've babied and cleaned religiously for 6 months. They still feel and perform as new. What am I missing here? I spent $300 on a 2 year supply that can potentially last me a lot longer as long as my prescription stays the same (which I already paid for for 2 years). Am I being stupid or did I outwit they/them?

it's low risk but high stakes when it does go wrong you'll lose your vision. even very small biofilm buildups can create a ridge enough to do a micro tear, and then some random pool water or rain water or tap water one day gets an Acanthamoeba in there

You are being stupid. Over time, contact lenses develop spots that don't allow oxygen to pass through to your eyes. If you continue doing this, you will cause permanent damage to your eyes, if you haven't already. Go to an optician and get your eyes examined. I had a habit of wearing motnhly lenses for 2 months and was told to wear glasses for 3 months to let my eyes regenerate

>That could be another "hack" to prolong contact lens usage. Rotate with glasses.

Before long you'll be missing your corneas.
