BOTH THESE....
I've been wearing contact lenses for nearly 20 years now, some were 16-20 years.
Anyway I have never had any issues with them and in fact love them after having had glasses for 15 years prior to that.
I also leave mine in for extended periods of time, any were from 3-6 weeks at a time. The biggest reason being I'm just lazy about taking them out and hate to wake up blind. Just went in last month and got my yearly exam and Dr said my eyes looked great other than a small cataract that is starting. He again gave me the lecture about wearing them for long periods, but said in all honesty my eyes were showing no ill effects from doing so, and frankly didn't really think in my case there was a problem with me doing it.
