Maybe a week, but I know it can't be very healthy for them.

Almost 3 months (LOL); I was so bad I was putting the cleaning solution directly into my eye like eyedrops. It was my last pair of disposable contacts and I was too lazy to make an eye appointment. When I finally went to the eye doctor, I ended up having to go back once a week for a month until my vision was back to normal. YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT A CLEAN THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, BUT EVERYDAY IS BEST.

I don't...sorry. But I would say that I depends on the company that makes the contacts. If they are those 24 hour ones (that you can sleep with), people will wear them a lot longer than other contacts.
But iuno, I have 20/20 vision, so I don't think about that much.

I have extended wear contacts that Iam supposed to take out once a week and clean, but I have left them in up to 3 weeks before. I dont reccommend doing that, as it can lead to a corneal abrasion and scarring on the eye.

well...only a couple of days. because it is very bad for your eyes. your eyes need oxygen to breath and function so when you take them out, they get a break from that oxygen deprivation. i know someone who would keep his contacts in for months just becasue he was lazy. And generally it feels really crappy the next morning when your eyes are glued shut becasue your contacts are so dry. i do not recommend it.
