no it's not okay, unless u want to get an eye infection. i had gone to my eye doctor today and he was explaining to me about using expired contact lenses...and it's not good for your eyes. he ssaid it's like if you wear shoes that too tight, your gonna get blister on your foot that's gonna hurt really bad. the same with your lenses, they're gonna get a yucky mucus thing on your lenses and then your eye is gonna get an ugly blister and it's gonna be painful...next time, when your on your like, 2nd or 3rd to last pair of lenses, u should start ordering them again.
i think you should TAKE YOUR LENSES OUT. It's gonna be difficult to see, yes, but it's better than having a painful blister on your eye that could possibly harm your vision.
and if you drive, have someone DRIVE YOU. just think of the yucky blister you'll get if you wear your expired lenses.

Actually, the expired contact lenses just means that the solution the are kept in is no longer sterile. All you have to do is clean the lenses like you normally would (rubbing gently with solution) before you place them in the eyes.

that is in simple terms about to run out - it isn't expired yet. Get some new answer for later, and do not play round along with your eyes - in case you do use old answer, you may want to finally end up with a serious an infection. The things you've is nice for now, yet get some new in the course of the week and toss it.

You should be fine but once they start scratching your eyes, stop using them. I've been wearing my contacts just for playing sports so they're expired but since I don't use them too often, they stay fresh and once I feel they're not performing very well, I just throw them away.

Dude, I used to wear the same lenses for months on end, without taking them out, and my eyes were fine.
Then I got laser surgery, hahaha... haha, MUAHAHAHAHAHA....

Take them out immediately. You're risking getting a massive inflammation and infection and can actually lose your vision permanently-don't be foolish.

As long as you're willing to risk a massive eye infection, sure. :) Otherwise, probably not.

Nope, your eyes will burn like crazy (esp. if they were stored somewhere hot).
I wouldn't
