Disposable contacts – bring comfort to
your eyes and convenience to your life.
Disposable contact lenses are becoming more and more
popular. And rightly so – they are convenient, healthy
for your eyes and now quite affordable. Disposable contacts
are available for most prescriptions, including astigmatism
lenses, bifocals and even colored contacts.
 Types
of disposable contact lenses
There are three main types of disposables categorized by
how frequently you replace your lenses:
-
Daily
disposables –
lenses that you wear for one day, dispose your contacts
in the evening and open a new pare next morning.
-
Weekly
disposables – lenses that are designed
to be worn for 1-2 weeks, then replaced with a new pare.
-
Frequent
replacement lens that are replaced monthly
Benefits of daily disposable contacts
Generally speaking, the more often you replace your contact
lenses, the better. Your eyes stay healthier and more comfortable.
So daily disposables are contacts that offer most benefits:
-
The lowest risk of infection
– lens that comes out of the package is sterile
-
Not enough time for protein
and calcium to build up on your contacts (which happens
with other types of lenses even in spite of remover
solutions). As a result people wearing daily disposable
lenses report clearer vision.
-
No fuss with cleaning, just
open the pack and put your contacts in. If you feel
that rubbing you lens before and after wearing is too
much work, daily disposables are definitely for you.
Also no worries about cleaning and storage products
-
Daily disposables are ideal
for people who suffers from allergies, especially during
high allergy seasons
-
Great for people who wear contacts
only a few days a week. Lens left in the case collects
bacteria, while freshly out of the pack it is sterile.
Also if you only wear contact lenses 2-3 days a week,
daily disposables are a cheaper option.
-
And, of course, if you rip or
lose your lens, no big deal, just dispose of it and
open another pack. Disposables are also ideal for traveling.
How expensive are throwaway lenses?
You would be surprised to find out that disposable lenses
are very affordable. Times when contact lenses were expensive
to produce are long gone, recent technological advances
allow lens’ manufacturers to produce contacts at a
very low cost.
It costs to the consumer only about 1$ a day, if you know
where to buy your lenses. You also save on cleaning and
storage solutions.
The trick to low cost is to
order your disposables from online stores, rather than your
local optometrist. You get the prescription for your
lenses from your doctor. Then order your contacts from a
reputable online store and you would get exactly the same
lens, by the same brand as prescribed for 40-70 % less then
from a doctor’s office. This is because online contact
lens retailers save on rent and inventory and pass part
of their savings back to you.
