Even if it works for you, honestly, I wouldn't do that. It's best to rest your eyes at least 3 times a week by taking them out in evening and wearing your glasses. It's also not suggested to sleep with them, even though you can (2 week disposables then become 1 week disposables if you sleep with them on). I don't see why you'd sleep with them in anyway.. I mean, not like you need them to see clearly in your dreams. ;)

For me, I've been using Acuvue 2's and Acuvue 2 Colors for 3 years now and I love them. I wear them daily but take them out when I'm at home and don't plan on leaving again (ie: late in the evening/night). I don't sleep in them so they last 2 weeks for me.

In regards to the 2 week deal.. if you forget when the 2 weeks are up, remember, when in doubt, throw them out.

And like everyone said, wash your hands before poking around in your eyes.
