Benefits of daily disposable contact lenses

Are you or someone you know struggling to find a contact lens that is comfortable, safe and convenient? If so, this article could be for you. Daily disposable contact lenses are contact lenses that are worn daily, all day. At the end of the day, you can throw away the lenses only to replace them with new ones the next morning. These types of lenses have many benefits over other types available on the market and this article will try to delve a little deeper into the extensive list of advantages they provide.

Before we get to the list of benefits, let’s first try to distinguish the differences between contact lenses. Traditional contact lenses, for example, can be worn following a recommended wearing schedule for a specific period of time that varies from days to weeks, depending on the lens product. Daily disposables are designed to be worn for one day and thrown away at bedtime and replaced with a fresh pair the next morning. You will no longer have to clean or disinfect your lenses and you will not need any more cases to store them. It is also important not to confuse terminologies when talking about daily use and daily disposables. The latter type is used for a specified number of days and is disinfected every day to ensure sterility. The former, on the other hand, are used for a day and then thrown away. Fresh, new lenses are worn the next day.

Ok, now that some of the semantics are out of the way, let’s move on to the list of benefits that disposable contact lenses offer.

First on the list and perhaps possibly the most important benefit is the eye health advantage these lenses offer. Wearing contact lenses for a long period of time, even if they are cleaned and disinfected as recommended by your ophthalmologist, can lead to the unpredictable buildup of calcium and protein deposits on their surface. This buildup can lead to erratic surface dryness, as well as the potential buildup of calcium deposits that irritate the inner eyelids. These unwanted foreign debris can make people more vulnerable to eye irritation, or even infection causing temporary discontinuation of use. For people with seasonal allergies these deposits only serve to exacerbate any allergy symptoms a person may have.

The second item on the list is comfort. Eye comfort is a must and this is the norm when wearing new lenses every day. With these contacts, you’ll experience how a clean lens surface can provide superior comfort.

Number three on the list is convenience. With daily disposable contact lenses there is no longer a need to purchase and use cleaning/disinfecting solutions to maintain them. This valuable time can now be allocated to more important tasks, such as reading, improving gaming skills, or watching funny cat videos on YouTube. Humor aside, everyone’s time has intrinsic value and should be a serious consideration when choosing the right contact lenses.

Last but not least on this list is the cost. Although these lenses may have a higher initial cost compared to other types, once you factor in the money saved by not purchasing necessary care products, as well as the potential costs associated with resolving and treating eye infections unwanted, it can be deduced that these are much more profitable in the long run.

While there are many benefits to wearing daily disposable contact lenses, it’s important to ask your eye doctor about them and see if they’re a good fit for you. Contact lenses, like shoes, come in various sizes, and only your doctor can prescribe the one that best suits your needs.
