Are disposable lenses better than “regular” contact lenses?
Studies have shown that patients who replace their lenses on a frequent basis better tolerate contact lens wear than those who attempt to keep their contact lenses for extended periods of time. It has also been shown that the more frequent the replacement schedule, the lower the rate of contact lens complications. The most frequent replacement schedule currently available is daily. This is by far the easiest replacement schedule and the healthiest for your eyes. The majority of soft lens wearers replace their lenses on a two week schedule. There are also monthly replacement lenses.
