How do you know if your contacts are expired?

I wear 30-day disposable contacts—I can’t remember when I put these in, what are the “symptoms” of expired contacts?

Stickiness?

for me, my eyes feel dry, and my contacts start to feel uncomfortable, and hard to put in, but that doesn’t usually happen until a week or two after the packaging claims they’ve expired. don’t tell anyone but i usually wear my 2 week contacts for 3 or 4 weeks if they dont give me any problems.

If you cross your eyes when they’re in you can read the expiration date

Lachica said it all… My eyes start feeling dry, and I just can’t stand to wear them for more then an hour. Sometimes I wear mine till the last minute! (when I take them off and they rip in half very easily!)

If you get an eye infection so bad you go blind then you probably left them in too long.

red eyes.
that’s what does it for me.
if you clean them again and again with solution and they don’t cease bothering you…it’s time to whip out a new pack!
