Contact lens
I am 16 years old. I wear contact lens sometimes and I use daily contact lens for that but use it occasionally. My eye power is -5.5 and -5.75. So I wanted to know that since I can wear a pair of lens for just 8-10 hours so if I want to wear it for longer like 5-6 hours more then can I apply a new pair after removing the first pair of lens straight after???

No, the idea is to give rest to eye for proper oxygenation.
You can use RGP lenses which can be used for longer duration i.e., from morning till you are awake.
