Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

Daily disposable contact lenses are built to be worn during the day and then discarded at night. Because of this, they are sold in a pack containing a specific number of lenses designed to be used over a fixed period. For instance, the ACUVUE MOIST 90 pack has disposable contact lenses designed to be used over 90 days. Introduced in the mid 1990s, daily disposable contact lenses have grown to become very popular with millions of people preferring this option over glasses. There are several benefits to choosing daily disposable contact lenses. Some of these include:

• Portability: With stiffer airport laws preventing travelers from carrying liquid solutions onboard, daily disposable contact lenses are a convenient option. These contact lenses are packed in sterile packs and therefore do not need to be cleaned before being worn. And since they are going to be disposed of after the day, maintenance is hardly required as well. Daily disposable contact lenses can easily be carried with very little fuss.
• Better Compliance: Patients who use daily disposable contact lenses find it easier to comply with their replacement schedule. Close to 90% of the patients that use daily contact lens will replace their lenses at the right time. This figure is a lot lower with other types of lenses. Less than half of the people who use 2 week extended wear replace their lenses on time. The number is only slightly higher with monthly extended lenses at 60%.
• Reduced Allergies: A chief downside to using extended wear lens has always been the problem of irritation and allergies. Over time, extended lens may trap pollen, dust or protein deposits that can cause mild to severe allergic reactions. Daily disposable contact lenses reduce the risk of this by offering a clean and fresh ocular option every morning. There is no irritated eyesight or cloud vision.
• Easily disposable: Users can simply insert, remove and discard their contact lens with very little difficulty in almost any location.
• Safer Option: Extended wear lenses are kept sterile with cleaning solutions. But in recent years, there have been many reported incidences of contaminated or inferior lens care products. Daily disposable contact lenses offer an effective way of ensuring that contact lenses remain clean and safe.
• Cost Effective Option: A common misconception shared by many is that daily disposable contact lenses are far more expensive than extended wear. But while it is true that the immediate cost of a daily lens is more than buying extended wear lens, the long term cost of using daily lens, which does not require that you pay for cleaning supplies and lens cases, makes it a more affordable option.

Daily disposable contact lenses are suitable for individuals with an active lifestyle. Individuals who travel or exercise regularly will appreciate the convenience and comfort that theses lenses offer. Daily contact lenses also offer a flexible approach to vision correction.
