Another two recent studies have shown that contact lens wearers will have more complications (eye infections, irritation and inflammation) when they keep their contact lenses longer that the manufacturers' recommended replacement, and when contact lens wearers using multipurpose solution report to never/almost never rub and rinse their lenses, when compared with those who did this every night.
Be good to your eyes by getting rid of those contacts when your optometrist tells you to and rub those lenses to clean them.
