What are Disposable Contact lenses?
Disposable contacts are designed to be worn for a specific period of time, then thrown out and replaced with a fresh pair of lenses. Disposables are now the most common type of contact lenses. Many eye care practitioners and consumers favor disposable contacts because of their health and convenience benefits.
The more frequently you replace your contact lenses, the healthier and more comfortable your eyes can be. Substances like protein, calcium, and lipids — found naturally in your tears — can build up on your lenses. These deposits make your contacts less comfortable than when they were new, and can also make your eyes more prone to infection.

Daily Disposable Contact lenses
There are two ways to avoid just about all contact lenses care. One is to sleep in your lenses, and then replace your lenses periodically. Unfortunately, sleeping in lenses is not a good idea for everyone (to learn more, see our article on extended wear), and sleeping in contact lenses slightly increases your risk of eye problems.

The other alternative is daily disposables, also called one-day disposables: contacts that you discard every night, and replace in the morning with a new pair. Many eye care professionals and contact lenses wearers feel that this option offers the best of both worlds. It's convenient because there is no lenses cleaning at all. It's healthy because there is no day-to-day lenses deposit buildup, and because there is no increased risk of eye problems due to sleeping in lenses. |
