Guide to Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses were first introduced by the manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson in 1987. Now the company’s 1 Day Acuvue brand is one of the most popular in the world.
These revolutionary lenses allowed users to discard them and replace them with a new pair after wearing them for just one day.
Owing to the health and convenience benefits that they offer, they are the most commonly prescribed type of lens.

Health Benefits of Daily Disposables
As daily disposable lenses are discarded every day and replaced with a fresh pair, they do not attract the build up of sediment which is a problem associated with regular lenses.
Sediment builds up naturally from the mineral deposits in tears. With regular lenses it can cause eye infections and discomfort.
Convenience of Daily Wear Contact Lenses
As these lenses are only worn for a day, there is no need to spend time cleaning them. As a result they offer a real convenience benefit.
What Daily Disposable Contact Lenses Are Available
Daily lenses work with most prescriptions. They can also be worn if you need toric lenses for astigmatism , if you want to change your look with tinted contact lenses or if you need varifocal lenses.

The Difference Between Daily Disposable and Regular Contact Lenses
If you wear regular contact lenses you have to clean and look after them carefully. This is so that you avoid the risk of eye infections and discomfort caused by the build up of mineral deposits on the lenses.
As you throw daily disposables away at the end of each day, you do not have to worry about cleaning and looking after them.
This makes them ideally suited to travelers and children.
