Disposable contact lenses

Are you considering getting disposable contact lenses?

Disposable contact lenses are a popular choice amongst those who require vision correction treatment, due to their simplicity of use. With disposable lenses, care, and cleaning requirements are greatly reduced, and you don't have to worry about build-ups of proteins and other debris on the lenses. This reduces the chances of ending up with infections like acanthamoeba keratitis, and many experts recommend them as a healthier option for your eyes. Daily disposable contact lenses are also a good choice for those who suffer from allergies, this is because the cleaning solutions and other chemicals associated with reusable lenses can sometimes make allergies worse. For those who suffer from dry eyes, silicone hydrogel disposable lenses, for example, Biofinity Lenses are designed to help keep the eyes moist, avoiding the dryness that many people associate with wearing contacts.

Caring for disposable lenses

Disposable contact lenses not only refer to daily disposables but also include lenses that last two weeks or a month. The right choice will depend on your lifestyle, as well as the severity of your vision problems and the amount you want to pay. With daily disposable lenses, the lenses are inserted at the beginning of your day then removed and thrown away at night. These are the simplest to use, as they require no cleaning or storing at all. Typical lenses on the market are Focus Dailies All Day Comfort and Crystal 1 Day. Disposable lenses that last longer than a single use are designed to be removed at night, cleaned and stored. This will generally involve soaking and rubbing the lenses with a cleaning solution, but the right procedure for caring for the lenses will depend on the specific brand, so be sure to read the instructions carefully. If you're looking for lenses that require no cleaning or other maintenance, then you may want to consider extended wear options. these lenses can be worn overnight, for a week or more at a time, so there is no cleaning required, your Optometrist will help decide which is the best lens and best wearing time for you, depending on eye health and other factors, typical examples are Biofinity and  AirOptix Night & Day.

How to choose the right disposable contacts

That's why we recommend that you visit a qualified eye care professional to get a complete eye examination.
