I use soft contact lenses that is replaced every 2 months. I usually remove it every night before I sleep, but I was wondering if I can wear it for 2 days straight? For how many hours can i wear them?

yes, you CAN wear them for two days straight, but it’s very crucial that you take them out after 48 hours to let your eyes "breathe".
and make sure to throw those out after 2 months.
i had a friend once who wore some that lasted a month for 5 months w/o taking them out and they literally put indents on her eyes. (btw they went away).
be careful and take good care of what eye sight you have left!
as long as u want
I was wearing my 1 month ones for many days, without any problems, so you can wear yours for 2 days.
well you could wear them for unlimited time but never go to sleep with them they damage your eyes. so you would still have to take them off before you go to bed
You can wear them for as long as you like but if you’re going to sleep or take a short nap etc. i suggest you take them off, if you don’t it might damage your eyes because it doesn’t get liquid it might stick.
It depends if you have the specific contacts for wearing at all times. If you have regular contacts you should take them off at night. If you don’t you might get very dry eyes.
I’ve always been told not to sleep in my contacts eventhough the manufacturer says you can. It’s just what my DR recommends. He has all these scary pics of eye infections on the wall
