2-3 months (weekly contacts). I've done it for 9 years now and I don't have any problems.
I have a little neovascular growth (which means new veins) it makes my eyes a tiny bit red, but thats about it.
it happens cause the contact gets "glogged" and Oxygen can't get to the veins so they get bigger to be able to gather more oxygen.
seems minor to me

If you're wearing your contacts every day, your optometrist will tell you to dispose of them after approximately a month of consistent use. After a month or so, you may feel some discomfort while wearing them. You'll feel like they need to be rewetted more frequently and they'l become quite a bother. If you don't wear them every day, toss them after the equivalent of a month of use 28-31 days. You can stretch it if you want, but you'll start to feel it soon enough.

About a month but it depends on how you care for them too. When they start not getting clean and become uncomfortable that's when you know it's time to toss them. Always clean them and keep rewetting drops with you. Never use saline solution to soak them in overnight neither. I would not advise anyone to sleep in them neither - even if they say it is ok to.
