I have seen some nasty nasty eye infections with people that simply stretch their lenses out a month or two. IMO you are playing with fire.
A poor indication of when to change your contacts is discomfort. When you decrease the oxygen to the eye the nerves do not properly function. So you may have problems and not feel it because of desensitized nerves.
A good test for you would be to try for two months throwing your lenses out when you are supposed to. Then next pair do what you have done in the past. Often you will see a vision/comfort improvement by doing so. It is similar to the first time you watched hockey on an HD tv and then back to a SD tv. You may not notice the difference until you actually do it.

Thanks Aaron. Will give it a shot as you've mentioned and see how it goes. Makes total sense about the comfort thing being a poor indication.
