This was last year. They now have lenses formulated to allow much better O2 transfer.
The length of wear depends on the type of lens. My first extended wears were 14 day disposables/7 day extended wear. When I admitted that I accidentally left them in realized I hadn't gone blind the next morning when I woke up, the doc proclaimed me ready for the one month variety. Man, they were sweet. (The doc keeps very on top of the whole "corneal health" thing, and says I'm excellent.)
