Disposable - Contact Lenses

As the name suggests, disposable or single use contact lenses are used for one day for one specific period of time. Once they have been removed, they must be disposed of. Such lenses don’t usually require a specific solution as they come packed within the required amount of solution. Because these lenses don’t last long, they can be more expensive than longer use lenses.

Daily Wear - Contact Lenses

Like single use contact lense, daily wear contact lenses are also disposable lenses but which are designed to be used for the duration of a day and can be reused for up to one month depending on the type. Some are specifically designed for one weeks use and these are often softer than others, which are designed to be used for up to one month. Wearers usually place them in the eye in the morning and remove them at night. Once they have been removed, they need to be cleaned so that any microorganisms that have collected on the surface are removed before they are placed back in the eye.

Buying Contact Lenses Online

A contact lens prescription is not the same as a prescription for glasses, as it will contain more information and specific lens information. Many people now choose to buy their contact lenses online on the Internet. By initially fitting a lens properly, you are ensuring that your eyes are safe and avoiding the many complications of poorly selected and fitted lenses including discomfort, inflammation, swelling, eye abrasion and even permanent eye damage. As your prescription naturally changes overtime, lenses will need to be changed, so ensure that you have regular eye tests, even if you buy you contact lenses on the Internet.
