Medical Forum / General / Vision / October 2007Changing contact lenses--knowing when it's time
I have disposable (soft) toric contact lenses that are supposed to be worn for 14 days and then replaced. The lenses are for distance vision, and because I work out of my home at a computer, I don't put them in when I'm here. I generally only wear them when I go out for, say, anything over an hour, and then I take them out when I get back. Because I only wear them "part time," I didn't replace them at the 14 day mark. Actually, I think it's been something like 5 weeks that I've been wearing the same pair, and they still feel fine. How do I know when it's time to replace them with a new pair? I had assumed that they'd eventually start to feel uncomfortable and I'd know it was time to change them, but so far that hasn't happened. > I have disposable (soft) toric contact lenses that are supposed to be > worn for 14 days and then replaced.

Most wearers of this type of lens do the same thing. > How do I know when it's time to replace them with a new pair?

You answered your own question here, it will be up to you to find the level to where you have to toss them. Why are you still wasting time with this crap lenses? Can't you be quick and wake up to the truth of sight? Why must you linger to stupid quack treatments, that is: glasses, contacts, surgery, and so on. If I were next to you I would like to give you a nice good slap on the cheeks, which would send your contact lenses flying out and hopefully smashed to the ground. Wake up from this deep slumber! > Why are you still wasting time with this crap lenses? > Can't you be quick and wake up to the truth of sight?

Who needs it ? If there are normal skin bacteria culturing in your case, they can overwhelm your disinfecting solution if you go more than a few days without replacing it. If you are replacing your solution regularly, then 14 wears or so can take months if necessary. > > I have disposable (soft) toric contact lenses that are supposed to be > > worn for 14 days and then replaced.

True, some people don't do this and run into irritation and other problems, >I have disposable (soft) toric contact lenses that are supposed to be >worn for 14 days and then replaced.

The same way you probably know when it's time to change the oil in the car. You wait until it starts making strange noises and parts start falling out as you drive down the street. 2. According to the schedule your doctor prescribed them. >I had assumed that they'd eventually start to feel uncomfortable and >I'd know it was time to change them, but so far that hasn't happened. I know the feeling. I stopped taking my blood pressure medicine and am waiting until I feel bad until I start taking it again. And don't worry -- I'll start in a day or two of me feeling bad lest I have a stroke. >Why stop here ? How about that that quack food, oxygen, and water >thing ? Who needs it ? Don't be stupid. Oxygen and food and water are required from the body. Didn't you learn: MRS GREN Movement Respiration Sensitivity Growth Reproduction Extretion Nutrtion. These are the things that human needs. > >Why stop here ? How about that that quack food, oxygen, and water > >thing ? Who needs it ?

Wasn't it you who recommended staring at the sun? No, I have never recommended that you stupid man. Is MRS GREN something you learn in school? I've partaken of the first 5 > Movement Respiration Sensitivity Growth Reproduction but have never of these last two, > Extretion > Nutrtion. yet I'm alive. Must be why my eyes are myopic. I would say in general that many people, most who post on this NG in fact, are have no "S"ensitivity though. It truly is a man's world.  Signature~RT > Is MRS GREN something you learn in school? Yeah, so are you saying you don't excrete or eat? |
