Benefits of Daily Contact Lenses

The Heart of America Contact Lens Society, Inc. knows how important it is for some people to wear contacts. But, sometimes, it can be too taxing for busy people to perform proper contact lens care. That is why eye doctors recommend daily contact lenses. If you want to find out the benefits of daily contact lenses, here’s what you should know.

Safe and Sterile

Wearing reusable contact lenses allows debris and microorganisms to collect. It also attracts many types of allergens. Dangerous pathogens can also thrive between the eye and the contact lens. This can result in terrible eye infections.

It is common for contact lens wearers to forget proper contact lens cleaning practices. Some even neglect to replace the cleaning solution and top it up instead. These careless practices encourage bacteria to enter the eyes. The bacterial infection becomes serious once these organisms penetrate the cornea. It can turn into a much-advanced infection like ulcerative keratitis. Without treatment, ulcerative keratitis causes permanent changes in vision and even blindness.

Daily contact lenses can prevent such infections. Eye doctors recommend these contact lenses to prevent such infections. These lenses are always sterile. You can replace each pair daily. This consistent replacement does not encourage infections.

Convenient to Use

The FDA cleared some types of contact lenses for overnight use. In the beginning, these lenses did not cause any problems at all. As years passed, eye doctors started to see them as harmful to the eyes. They started to recommend daily contact lenses instead. The users would remove these contact lenses before they sleep. Then, they would wear a new one in the morning.

Daily contact lenses are more convenient to use. They give you the option to wear either contact lenses or eyeglasses the following day. Removing these daily lenses at night gives you peace of mind. You know that you don’t have contact lenses left in your eyes when you sleep.

Daily contacts are also convenient for people who love to engage in sports or other outdoor activities. Losing a lens is not a problem as well. Carrying extra disposable lenses in your bag can replace the lens you may drop while you are out. There is no crisis with disposable contact lenses.

Budget-Friendly and Efficient

The high demand for daily contact lenses has made them less expensive. This makes it possible for anyone to afford the daily cost of using these lenses. The lower price of daily contact lenses triggered an increase in the number of manufacturers, resulting in more types and brands. Serious competition now breeds among companies.

Silicone hydrogel lenses are more expensive than regular daily contacts. These lenses permit oxygen molecules to pass through. They allow the eyes to breathe and retain more moisture. Using silicone hydrogel lenses daily will save you more money on lens care products.
