When it comes to contact lenses, one of the first choices you'll need to make is whether to go with daily disposables or monthly lenses. Each option offers its own set of advantages, and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, eye health, and personal preferences. At Clarity Vision in Williamston, NC, we often help patients navigate this decision during their contact lens exams.
Daily disposable contact lenses are designed for one-time use. You wear a fresh pair each morning and discard them at the end of the day. These lenses are incredibly convenient, especially for individuals with busy schedules or those who wear contacts occasionally.
Benefits of daily lenses:
No cleaning or storing required
Reduced risk of eye infections due to less buildup
Great for people with allergies or dry eyes
Ideal for travel or active lifestyles
Monthly lenses are designed to be worn for up to 30 days. You remove and clean them each night and store them in a disinfecting solution. They are a popular choice for regular contact lens wearers.
Benefits of monthly lenses:
More cost-effective than daily lenses
Durable and resistant to drying out
A wider range of prescriptions and specialty options available
The decision ultimately depends on your lifestyle, comfort, and eye health. If you want a low-maintenance option or only wear contacts occasionally, daily lenses may be the better fit. On the other hand, if you’re a full-time contact wearer looking for affordability and don’t mind a care routine, monthly lenses could be ideal.
During a comprehensive contact lens exam at Clarity Vision, our optometrists will evaluate your eye health, prescription needs, and preferences to help you choose the most suitable lens type.
