TL;DR, would you as an optom yourself wear daily contacts that expired 2.5y ago?

I would definitely not wear expired contacts. The issue is the sterile seal on the contact lens likely is not working well anymore and bacteria can get in there.
Nothing may happen but I equate it to going 30 over the speed limit all the time. Nothing may happen, but the risk is much much higher of something happening and if something happens it is going to a much bigger problem.
A lot of companies have dailies in 30 packs for those that do not wear them often.
