The convenience of wearing contact lenses has become even better. Besides traditional long-use lenses, you now have the option of using daily disposable lenses, making lense wearing easier and hassle-free.
While purchasing one day use contact lenses may seem to be a little more expensive at first, you may actually discover that the cost is not prohibitive at all.
The truth is that replacing your lenses frequently helps keeps your eyes healthier. Unfortunately, even thorough cleaning over the long run doesn’t really keep your lenses clear of debris and germs. In fact, while traditional lenses are great, there are maintenance issues to be aware of. The first thing that you need to know is that germs do build up on normal lenses, thanks to the lipids and proteins found naturally in your eyes. These can cause build-up over time, preventing even regular cleanings from getting your contacts truly spotless and germ-free. This can result in cloudy vision and discomfort, eventually getting worse until you replace your lenses.
Another problem you are going to run into is the cost of keeping your lenses clean, or almost clean, as the case may be. You will have to consistently purchase cleaning solution for daily rinses, and depending on your lense type, may also need to do weekly disinfectants and/or use enzyme tablets or a thermal heater. And even all that together doesn’t guarantee your lenses will be spotless for long.
These are just a few reasons that you may want to consider switching to daily disposable contact lenses. By tossing your contacts each night and putting in a brand new pair in the morning, you eliminate the need for costly cleansers and any chance of germ and deposit buildup on the lenses. You won’t even need a storage case.
