Is it okay to wear someone else's UNUSED contact lens for one day?

My right contact lens ripped today, so I wore my glasses. Tomorrow I'm going canoeing and would really like to be able to see! (and swim, and not lose my glasses!) But I couldn't pick up my new contacts today because they're closed, and tomorrow open 10:00-7:00, but I'm leaving at 9:30!

SO I was thinking that I could borrow one of my brother's unused contacts for my right eye, for tomorrow only.

I realize that we have different prescriptions, but it's the only thing I can think of! Any advice from an optometrist or someone who knows something about eyes?!

How long will it take to adjust to toric eyeglasses?

I have toric contacts, which I wear without a problem. I have been wearing new glasses with toric lenses for 3 days and still feel uncomfortable. It feels like one eye is lagging behind and takes another second to focus. Why is this different than my contacts?

Can you wear contact lenses on a plane?

I've seen people wear glasses on a flight (this is YouTube figures) when they don't normally wear them. Is this a case of a situation where you shouldn't wear contact lenses so that's why they're wearing their glasses?

Are my eyes ok after falling asleep with my contact lenses on?

The doctor told me I'm not supposed to fall asleep with them on, they are for daily use only. I didn't mean to but I dozed off and fell asleep for about 30 minutes with them in. Can this have any affect on my eyes?

Prescription for eyes: what do the numbers mean!

Hello, I am looking into joining the army. I was told that Spectacle or contact lens corrections must not be greater then -7 dioptres or +8 dioptres in any meridian.

My prescription says next to the Distance column (long sight)
Right: sph -0.50 Cyl -0.25 axis 100.0
Left: -0.75

are the numbers representative of the dioptres?

The near sightedness is all fine and so no numbers written in, the prescription is only slight correction for my long sight.
