How many days/month/year can one wear the same cloth? It would be unhygienic, to wear the same clothes again and again, only if they are not washed. If the same clothes are washed regularly, they tend to wear out. What we are trying to say here is, like clothes, contacts as well, need rinsing and replacement. The longer contacts are used, more they loose their softness, due to proteins and residues accumulation on them. So, lenses with longer usability (yearly or monthly), needs to be rinsed more often (yearly more often). Major eye problems because of contact lens usage arise due to not rinsing them well. 

All these problems are as good as nil, in case of Daily wear lenses. You use them once and throw. On every usage, your eyes are getting fresh contact lenses, so need not to worry about rinsing them. In a monthly or yearly lens, one needs to have a cleaning solution to rinse and a contact lens case to contain them. Whereas, with daily wears, you don't need any of them. Overall, the maintenance is zero. Daily wear contact lenses are thin and have higher breathability. There is more oxygen flow through the lens to your cornea. The thinness also contributes to less foreign body sensation over the wearer's eyes.  Monthly lenses or yearly lenses have limited time usage once they or opened and are being used. There may be many days, where you may not be using them, so they stay in the case. For monthly lenses, once opened, they have to be used within 3 months, number of usage being 30 times and per usage being up to 12-18 hours. Even if they are not used for that many times, they need to be thrown away after three months. Daily lenses have shelf life of 3-4 years, so, even if they are kept unused, you don't have to worry about them getting expired.
