Extended wear contacts are meant to be worn for more than a single day. In fact, some can be worn to sleep at night. While this may be more convenient, it is still important to remember to wash your extended wear contacts every day. It is also important to consider that there may be some risks with wearing them continually.
Daily contacts are meant to be worn comfortably for about a day. After a single day's use (or multiple days, depending on the type) you have to discard them and use another set. These kinds of contact lenses should always be removed before sleeping.
