Monthly lenses are NOT to be left in the eye for a month! Monthly means that the lenses can be used every day again for 30 days without the need to by new ones every day. Leaving in lenses for days... is very bad for your eyes and advised against by optometrist...
Monthly lenses should be removed at night & cleaned, then replaced a month after their first use. There are lenses available that you can keep in the eye for a month but these aren't the norm & most people don't wear these lenses if they have monthlies. Daily lenses mean brand new lenses each day. They should not be cleaned & re-used again the following day. Personally, I use daily lenses when diving in case I get water in my mask. That way, there is no chance of re-introducing any water-borne ameoba via your lens the following day as you'll have a fresh pair of lenses in.
I’ve used daily contact lenses for last 150 dives or so, verses prescription lenses before for 100 or so dives before
THank you for your feedback.
