Then ask for them to be replaced and see their reaction.

There's nothing mechanical or electrical in contact lenses to stop working, hard lenses will break if you squeeze too hard while cleaning or soft lenses will tear, neither of which will result in an optician replacing the lenses. They'll also scratch if you wear them in a hard dust environment (drilling holes in brick and sand stone walls used to damage mine).
I think the only fault you could claim on is if you think the lenses were incorrectly manufactured and are irritating your eye(s).
