I got contacts for the second time last week but the optician wasn't in and the secretary gave thyem to me so i couldn't ask how long they last. The last time i got them i asked the optician and she just said they should last a pretty long time if i take care of them. Anyone know roughly, if you clean them etc. how long 'regular' contacts last? Thnks guys

Couple months. You can wear them longer if your eyes can put up with them, but it could potentially be bad for your eyes.

How long do a contact lens last?
This is the most commonly asked question and a definitive answer is hard to give because it all depends on the type of contact lens and the care you give them. With proper care an extended wear or frequent replacement contact lens, because it is reusable, is capable of lasting many months before it wears out and starts to bother you, but never wear the contact lens longer than recommended by your doctor. A disposable contact lens on the other hand is not reusable and is for single use only and not to be worn for more than a week and then discarded.

Well, having used both permanent and disposable lenses, I can say that permamnent ones last upto 4 years before needing to be replaced, and disposable ones last 1 to 2 months before needed a new pair
