What is meant by an extended wear contact lens?
An example of an extended wear contact lens is one that can be worn longer than the typical daily wear contact lens. Whereas the daily wear contact lens must be taken out at night, the extended wear contact lens would be one that you can leave in overnight. Although most extended wear lenses can be worn for up to a week at a time, no specific length of wearing time is implied by extended wear such as one week or one month or one year. How long you can wear any given contact lens should be determined by your doctor who can best evaluate the relationship between any given contact lens and your eyes, and whether an extended wear contact lens is right for you.
