monthly contacts

How long do monthly contacts last? Do they last one month after opening them or do they last about 30 days of use?
I have monthly contacts, but will sometimes not were them for 2 weeks at a time.

Thanks,
Robert

I've been told by my eye doctor that it's ok to prorate them. So 30 days of use is fine. Heck, you could probably use it for up to 60 if you clean them thoroughly.

I bought 6 pairs of monthlies a year ago, and have only gone through 2 pair so far. They're good for 30 "day" uses, and as forseti-6 said, if you take good care of them, they'll go longer than that. You can feel when they need to be replaced; they'll be scratchy/itchy on your eyes, and not feel quite right. If you only wear them for a few hours each time, you can definitely stretch this. In my case, I wear them at Ultimate tournaments and stuff, so I would get 45-60 wears out of one pair. In the end, you can judge for yourself.

Thanks for the input, this should save me some money. I wasn't sure if one could feel them about to go bad. I thought it was just bad to wear old ones.

Hope that's not how kulr went blind.

Actually that right. I went into law school without any insurance and broke as shit, got a year's supply of monthly contacts, but washed them at night, etc...
They lasted for four years, and my eyes are fine now.
