Depends upon the stated wear schedule for the brand you are using. Some are replaced daily; others weekly or two weekly and some monthly. Follow the directions that your eye doctor prescribed. Also, take them out if the eyes get red for any reason.
It depends on the brand, it could be daily, two weeks or monthly. However it’s not recommended to sleep with contacts.

Daily lenses are changed every day ! Monthly lenses every month . Do not sleep in contact lenses.
Daily use lenses are changed daily. Permanent lenses like hard lenses can last for years. Monthly lenses need to be replaced monthly. Ask you optometrist as different makes differ.
