Contact Lens Replacement Schedules
2 Week Contact Lenses
The two week disposable contact lenses are most popular due to price and familiarity.
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Single-use or daily disposable contact lenses are ideal for patients who want to eliminate the hassles of using care products or for allergy sufferers. They also serve as a great option for occasional or part time wearers that included special occasions or recreational use.
Continuous Wear
Continuous Wear lenses are ideal for patients with erratic schedules that benefit from the flexibility offered by continuous wear due to their minimal maintenance and the safety they provide if you fall asleep either intentionally or mistakenly in their lenses. The discussion of patient lifestyle is important when fitting Continuous Wear lenses.
Monthly Non Continuous Wear
Also known as frequent replacement lenses, monthly contacts are replaced every 30 days or every three months, depending on the product. Monthly replacement contacts are easy to clean, affordable and, although not as maintenance-free as disposable contacts, many patients prefer their durability and comfort. One advantage of Monthly Non Continuous Wear lenses is that they are easier for patients to remember to replace their lenses with a new pair.
Conventional Wear
Conventional contact lenses come individually packaged and can be worn for several months to a year. Known for durability, conventional contacts require cleaning and nightly disinfecting.
