What are disposable contact lenses?
Disposable contact lenses are lenses that can be worn for a short period of time and then thrown out and replaced with new ones. There are different types of disposable contacts. Daily disposable lenses: These are designed to be used for one day only and then thrown away. You put in new lenses every morning and discard them at night. Daily wear disposable contacts: These are worn each day, removed and disinfected each night, and discarded at the end of 1 or 2 weeks. Frequent replacement (also called planned replacement) lenses: These are worn each day, removed and disinfected each night, and thrown away every month or 3 months (depending on the brand). Disposable extended wear contacts: These can be worn overnight. Ask your eye care provider how long you can safely keep them in. Even though these contacts are approved for longer wear, most providers recommend removing and cleaning them every night to prevent infection. You usually need to throw disposable extended wear contacts away af
