    Strongly suggest that you do not wear contact lenses more than the recommended period.

    You might think, there is no problem at all for you to wear more than a month - not today. But due to compounded effect, your eyes will surely be affected in the time to come.

    Wearing longer than recommended schedule is considered contact lens abuse, thus, eventually you will ended up having infections and all sorts of contact lens complications. Then you will be paying more than anything for your medical bill and ended up suffering for tremendous pain.

    You can always opt to buy contact lenses online, where they offer the contact lenses at a discounted rate as comparison that you walk-in to your eye care practitioner.
