5 Advantages of Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

Contact lenses can transform your vision experience if you have a refractive error. They provide greater flexibility, panoramic clarity, and a natural look. You no longer have to deal with issues like eyeglasses slipping off your nose or trying to match your outfit with your frames. 

You do not need to carry an extra pair of prescription sunglasses constantly. Now may be the perfect time to embrace freedom from your eyeglasses. 

Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are comfortable, convenient, and designed to provide crisp vision. With daily disposable contact lenses, also called dailies, you remove and throw them away before bedtime and insert a fresh pair in the morning. There is no storing or disinfecting them, which is why they provide more convenience. 

No wonder they are the preferred choice for many contact lens users. If you are trying to determine whether dailies are a good fit for you, consider the following advantages:

• Convenience

Imagine never having to carry around lens cases and cleaning supplies. Daily disposables make that a reality. You pop them out and throw them in the trash at day’s end. Furthermore, they allow for an easier transition from contact lenses to eyeglasses and back if necessary.

• Health

Daily disposables can help maintain your eyes’ health. Reusable contacts bring with them an increased risk of infection. Between 80 and 90 percent of all contact lens-related infections are bacterial. Some bacterial eye infections, such as drug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa, could harm your corneas if left untreated. 

Ulcerative keratitis, another bacterial infection, can result from wearing reusable contact lenses. It can be inflammatory and painful, leading to permanent vision changes or even blindness. 

Furthermore, tears contain calcium, protein, and lipids, which can build up on your contact lenses and lead to infection. Also, this buildup can cause discomfort and irritation to your eyes. 

Daily disposables eliminate most of these issues, leading to a reduced risk of eye infection. After all, you use a sterilized pair of lenses each day, eliminating the opportunity for allergens, bacteria, and other harmful substances to develop.

• Versatility

Daily disposables come in a wide variety of colors and prescriptions. Disposable contact lenses can make it possible if you want a different eye color daily. Furthermore, there is a daily disposable lens option for people with presbyopia, astigmatism, or myopia. 

• Efficiency

Dailies are more efficient than reusable contacts, especially those made of silicone hydrogel. They reduce eye dryness by allowing more oxygen to pass through them, which provides a better visual experience. 

• Great for Active Lifestyles

Daily disposables are ideal for people who lead an active lifestyle. That may be through work, sports, exercise, and other activities. They would reduce the likelihood of injury if something or someone were to hit you in the face. 

Conclusion

If you want to explore the world of daily disposable lenses further, visit your eye doctor. Dailies are available to fit many different prescriptions and lifestyles. So, you will indeed find the right style and fit for you.
