What is the difference between daily, monthly, and yearly contacts?
The differences between daily, monthly, and yearly contact lenses primarily revolve around their intended duration of wear, convenience, and maintenance requirements. Daily disposable lenses are designed for single-use. These lenses are meant to be worn during the day and then discarded at night. They offer the highest level of convenience and hygiene since users do not need to clean or store them. They are ideal for individuals who may have occasional or infrequent need for contact lenses, as well as those who prioritize eye health by reducing the risk of buildup from deposits or allergens.
Monthly contact lenses, on the other hand, are intended for longer wear. These lenses are designed to be replaced every month, and they require a cleaning and storage routine. Users must clean and store the lenses in a suitable solution each night. Monthly lenses can be a cost-effective option for regular wearers, allowing for more flexibility than daily disposables, as they can be worn for a longer period as long as they are maintained properly.
Yearly contact lenses, often referred to as rigid gas permeable lenses, are designed for extended use, typically lasting up to a year with proper care. These lenses provide excellent vision correction and can be custom-fitted to the individual's eyes. However, they require more diligent care than both daily and monthly lenses, including regular cleaning and periodic check-ups with an eye care professional to ensure they remain in good condition.
Individuals should consider their lifestyle, eye health, and preferences when choosing between these options. For specific products offered by Contacts and Specs, one can check their website for detailed information.
