Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

There are two ways to avoid just about all contact lens care. One is to wear extended wear lenses continuously for several days, and then discard them when you remove them. Unfortunately, overnight wear of contact lenses is not a good idea for everyone, and wearing contact lenses during sleep may increase your risk of eye problems.

The other alternative is daily disposables, also called one-day disposables contact lenses: contacts that you discard every night and replace in the morning with new ones.

Many eye care professionals and contact lens wearers feel that daily disposable contact lenses offer the best of both worlds: They are convenient because no lens cleaning is required and they are healthy because there is no day-to-day accumulation of lens deposits. Also, because these lenses are not worn overnight, you potentially have less risk of contact lens-related eye problems.
