Monthly contact lenses - use it twice a day?

Hello ,

can I use my monthly contact lense twice a day ? ( I used it for few hours and I then took it off because I didn't need it. I cleaned it with the solution etc .) Can you take those lenses out again on the same day within few hours from that solution?
I'm confused. If they're monthly you can use them for a whole month? I wear monthlies.

Yeah i can wear mine for whole month but every day i have to take my lenses off and clean it with a solution and then wear it again the next day. So what I am asking now is if I cleaned them etc before can I take them out again now? Because usually i would take them out the next day..

Yeah of course you can as long as they're clean. They're designed to last the whole month, you can wear them as much as you like. :smile:

It depends what kind of lenses you have. I can wear mine for about 12 hours a day but they're expensive ones.

Check the instructions on your cleaning solutions.
I wear mine for around 12 hours a day and they're fine, as long as you're cleaning them when you take them out. It can hurt like a bastard anyway if you take one out and put it straight back in without atleast putting some solution on it.
