Monthly Disposable Contact Lenses
Monthly disposable contact lenses offer premium comfort and advanced breathability at a cost-effective price point, replaced after 30 days of daily wear.
Monthly contact lenses are designed to be worn during the day, removed each night, cleaned and stored correctly, and replaced with a fresh pair every 30 days.
They are a practical choice for regular wearers who want a reusable lens with a consistent replacement cycle. Monthly lenses often suit people who wear contact lenses most days and prefer a lower per-day cost than daily disposables.
Why Choose Monthly Contact Lenses?
- Good value for full-time wear: Monthly lenses often suit people who wear contact lenses most days and want a reusable option.
- Consistent routine: One pair is worn for up to 30 days, which can make monthly lenses easy to manage as part of a regular lens care routine.
- Wide prescription range: Monthly lenses are available in spherical, toric, and multifocal designs.
- Suitable for everyday wear: They are commonly chosen by regular lens wearers who want stable, reusable correction.
- More product choice: Monthly lenses are available across a wide range of brands, prescriptions, and wearing needs.
Which Monthly Lens Is Right For You?
Here's a practical guide to the lenses we stock online, plus a clear path for wearers who need something more specialised. Your optometrist will always confirm the right fit — but this should help you arrive at that conversation knowing what to ask about:
- You want a premium, highly breathable monthly lens: Choose Biofinity. This is a well-known monthly option for regular wearers who want a reliable reusable lens and a straightforward 30-day replacement schedule.
- You need precise, stable monthly correction for astigmatism: Choose Biofinity Toric. This lens is designed for wearers who need astigmatism correction rather than a standard spherical lens, making it a strong fit for clear, stable monthly vision.
- You spend long hours on digital devices and need monthly comfort: Choose Biofinity Energys. This is a suitable option for wearers who want to stay in a monthly schedule while choosing a lens positioned around digital-heavy routines.
- You want a modern monthly upgrade with HD clarity: Choose PureVision 2.This can suit wearers looking for a modern monthly lens option and a familiar reusable wearing schedule.
- You have presbyopia and need monthly multifocal correction: Choose Biofinity Multifocal. This is the relevant monthly choice for presbyopic wearers who want multifocal correction without moving out of a reusable monthly category.
Note: All transitions to a new contact lens brand or technology must be evaluated and prescribed by your optometrist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sleep in monthly contact lenses?
Some monthly silicone hydrogel lenses, such as Biofinity, are approved for limited extended wear. However, you must only sleep in contact lenses if explicitly evaluated and prescribed for overnight use by your optometrist. Sleeping in lenses not approved for extended wear significantly increases the risk of eye infections.
What is the difference between monthly and fortnightly contact lenses?
Monthly lenses are replaced after 30 days of wear; fortnightly lenses are replaced after 14 days. Fortnightly lenses tend to accumulate fewer deposits over their shorter replacement cycle, making them a good option for wearers whose eyes are sensitive to protein buildup. Your optometrist can advise which schedule is most suitable for your eye health.
How do I clean and store monthly contact lenses?
After removing your monthly lenses each night, rub them gently with multipurpose contact lens solution, rinse thoroughly, and store them in a clean lens case filled with fresh solution. Never use tap water or saliva to clean or store your lenses. Replace your lens case regularly to prevent contamination.
Do I need a new prescription to switch to monthly lenses?
Yes. Even if you currently wear daily or fortnightly lenses, a contact lens prescription is lens-specific. Your optometrist must formally fit and prescribe any new monthly lens to verify the correct brand, base curve, and parameters for your eyes.
Can I swim in monthly contact lenses?
No. You should not swim in contact lenses — including monthly lenses. Water from pools, the ocean, lakes, and rivers can contain microorganisms, including Acanthamoeba, which can adhere to the lens surface and cause serious eye infections. If you do swim while wearing contacts, remove and discard the lenses immediately afterwards and consult your optometrist if you experience any redness, discomfort, or irritation. Prescription swimming goggles or daily disposable lenses worn under sealed goggles are safer alternatives for water activities.
