Monthly disposable contact lenses

The choice of contact lenses involves multiple considerations. If the need is for a moderate correction with no more than moderate amounts of astigmatism, a planned replacement lens is the most common choice and, of these, a biweekly or monthly lens is most common. There are daily disposable lenses as well, but these are more expensive to use. The advantage of planned replacement is that a new lens will always have fewer deposits, especially proteins, on it. The deposits that develop on contact lenses over time with use can lead to chronic inflammation that can make contact lens wear intolerable. Therefore, I think planned replacement at a minimum of once a month is beneficial and I recommend it. There are many advantages to wearing monthlies:

• You only need 24 contact lenses for a whole year.
• Monthly lenses may offer better value since you purchase fewer lenses.
• They include the option of silicone hydrogen designed to allow five times more oxygen through the lens compared to standard contacts.
• This is good for your eye health and your comfort.
