Guide to Monthly Disposable Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are worn by more than 75 million people around the world and a growing number of these are choosing to wear monthly disposable lenses.
These contacts can be worn for up to one month, as directed by your optometrist. This means that at the end of every day you remove your lenses and clean them before reinserting them. Read our caring for contact lenses article on our blog for more information about cleaning and looking after your lenses.

Caring for Your Monthly Wear Lenses
As monthly contacts are worn for such a relatively drawn out period of time, caring for them properly is of paramount importance. This is because your tears contain mineral deposits which can build up on your lenses. If you do not clean them properly then these deposits can cause discomfort and even infection.
Therefore follow the care advice given by your optometrist and if you have any questions about the recommended process contact him or her for advice.
Comfort Offered by Monthly Disposable Contact Lenses
Since they were first introduced a lot of research has been carried out to ensure that monthly disposable contact lenses are as comfortable as possible.
The latest development has been to create the lenses out of silicon hydrogel. This material allows seven times more oxygen to reach the cornea than normal lenses.
Oxygen is required to maintain eye health and reduce the chances of infection. People risk getting corneal ulcers if too little oxygen reaches their eyes along with pain, redness and vision difficulties.
