Firstly - It's very important that you replace your contact lenses according your eye care professionals instructions and or the instructions from the manufacturer. Don't try to wear your daily contact lenses for more than a day or your monthly contact lenses for more than a month!
If you are wear monthly or weekly lenses and are unable to remember when you first started using a particular pair of contact lenses then the usual indications that a contact lens is near the end of its life are deposits on the lens, lens discolouration, hazy or unclear vision and or discomfort. If any of these indications occur your should change your contact lenses immediately as any of these can lead to other complications such as infection.
If after changing your contact lens your vision is still hazy or you notice any redness or discomfort you should remove your contact lenses and contact your eye care professional immediately. Always better to treat problems early especially when it comes to keeping your eyes safe and healthy.
