Disposable Contact Lens Online

Introduced in 1987, disposable contacts are designed to be worn for a specific period of time, then thrown out and replaced with a fresh pair of lenses. Disposables are now the most common type of contact lenses. Many eye care practitioners and consumers favor disposable contacts because of their health and convenience benefits.

What Are Disposable Contact Lenses?

It's important to understand the terminology:

• Disposable contact lenses are discarded and replaced every two weeks, or sooner
• Frequent replacement contact lenses are replaced monthly or quarterly
• Traditional or reusable contact lenses are usually replaced every six months or longer

The term "disposable" often collectively refers to both disposable and frequent replacement lenses

Disposables Contact Lenses

Even before the advent of disposable lenses, it was well known that frequent lens replacement was a healthy thing to do. Problem was, contacts were too expensive to discard very often — so various cleaning solutions and devices were used to prolong the life of the lens.

Then contact lens manufacturers developed new manufacturing methods to produce high-quality lenses in greater volume, at lower cost. These advances led to lower lens prices, making it affordable to replace lenses more often. Some of today's disposable lenses are made of the same materials as traditional lenses; other disposables are made from new materials developed especially for disposability.
