small tear on my contact lenses, can i still use? ?

there is a small tear on the edge of my right contact lense. when i put it on, the tear bothers my eye for a couple minutes. but then i get used to it and i cant really feel it anymore. ive only did this for one day today so can i do it again. the ones i am using now are my last pair until i get new ones maybe wednesday. so can i still use my right contact lense with the tear or should i just use my glasses?

    It depends on if it is going to irritate your eye or not. How does it feel?

    If it's a very minor tear I wouldn't worry about it.

    I get those sometimes too but I don't even notice when I'm wearing them.

    Plus you're getting new contacts soon, so I think you'll be okay.

    .. but then again it depends on if they are still comfortable or not.

    You should probably not wear them anymore. The tear can irritate your eye making it more uncomfortable.

    yea, you can wear it, i wouldnt reccommend it. if you do, it will feel like you have trash in your eye and it could scratch your cornea and then you wont need contacts. just a CONTACT, for your one eye. you will be able to make them last twice as long. sorry, thats not funny

    but no, dont wear them
