<\/p>\nContact lenses are replacements for spectacles, usually meant for people who just can\u2019t go without corrective lenses, but don\u2019t want the hassle of wearing spectacles all the time. There\u2019s a tradeoff though, using and maintaining contact lenses is a bit more complicated than a good ol\u2019 pair of spectacles, which is why a lot of people don\u2019t prefer it. One of the main reasons people do not opt for contact lenses is the cleaning process, because contact lenses have to be soaked in a solution and cleaned carefully every single day.<\/p>\n

There is some confusion over the idea of disposable contact lenses, most people seem to think that contact lenses that are used only once and thrown are disposable lenses, and the ones that are used for a couple of days or weeks are non-disposable. In reality, both these lenses are called disposable contact lenses, just categorized differently according to time used. Usually, conventional contact lenses, which have to be replaced only after 6 months to a year are called non-disposable, and contact lenses with a replacement schedule anything under that are called disposable. To make it clearer:<\/p>\n

Basically, the top three types of contact lenses mentioned above are called \u2018disposable\u2019, although a lot of people refer to Daily Disposable Contact Lenses as \u2018true disposables\u2019. Extended wear contact lenses are also available, which allow you to use them overnight, but have to be cleaned for at least one night, depending on the manufacturer schedule. Now, choosing the right type of contact lenses may become a little confusing, so there are a few things you need to keep in mind:<\/p>\n

In terms of eye health, it is generally considered that daily disposable contact lenses are the least troublesome. Eye problems usually develop from deposits and infections that build up, which are caused by extended use and improper cleaning respectively. Both these variables are eliminated with daily disposable contact lenses, simply because there\u2019s no question of reusing lenses the next day, which also means that there\u2019s no cleaning. Studies say that almost 80% of eye infections in contact lens users stem from an improper maintenance schedule. We can\u2019t blame them either, it\u2019s a rather delicate and time consuming process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re thinking about convenience, there\u2019s also nothing better than daily disposable contact lenses. The ease of use is unmatched, and the best part is that both regular and non-regular contact lens wearers can adopt them. Although it would be more preferable for users who only occasionally use contact lenses, regular users also have nothing to lose, since they\u2019re skipping the cleaning process and aren\u2019t at risk of deposits and infections. Sure, there\u2019s the added cost and burden of keeping a whole lot of lenses around, but considering the advantages, it\u2019s not such a bad thing. There\u2019s also the fact that you don\u2019t need to spend any more on cleaning products, so the cost is offset a little bit.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, we recommend disposable lenses simply because they\u2019re easy to use and maintain, and put you at lesser risk of infection. The difference in cost isn\u2019t too much either, but before you take a decision, make sure to consult your doctor to understand what your requirement is, because not everyone can use all contact lenses comfortably.<\/p>\n
