Advantages of disposable contact lenses

Posted by sean - April 28th, 2010

Before 1987, only non-disposable contact lenses were available which many opticians are reluctant to prescribe today as they tend to cause more problems than disposable contacts. In 1992, tined disposables were available and became very popular. Later in 1995, daily disposables came in vogue. Now in the UK 99% of all contact lenses prescribed are disposable.

Since daily disposables need less maintenance than two-weekly and monthly disposables, they can save time to some extent. Generally, extended wear disposables are much cheaper and more durable, but they have the additional cost of accessories. People wearing contact lenses usually have problems related to dirty lenses with deposits.

With non-disposables, you need to take them out of your eyes at night, clean carefully and store the lens in a lens case. So you may wonder whether you have cleaned the lenses completely. Though the lens may be cleanable for a while and tears can protect your eye sometimes, you should pay more attention to some eye problems related to the cleaning.

With disposable contacts, you don’t need to worry about the consequences associated with non-disposables, such as the bacteria picked up by lens. The disposable lenses are also much thinner than other lenses, so that they can allow for more oxygen to pass through to the cornea, making the wearers feel much better. Bob Hughes, the general secretary of the Federation of Ophthalmic and Dispensing Opticians, says that disposable lenses make great sense to lots of people.

In a word, the occurrence of disposable lens reflects the development of lens technology. People choose this lens not only for safety and convenience reasons but also for the comfort. The popularity of disposable lenses is quite reasonable.

Convenient and healthy disposable contact lenses

Posted by sean - October 21st, 2009

Disposable contact lenses are worn for a certain period and replaced by a new pair, so that they are more convenient and healthy. For replacement interval, contact lenses can be divided into some types: disposable lenses replaced within two weeks, frequent replacement lenses replaced monthly or quarterly and traditional lenses replaced every six months or longer. Currently, disposable lenses including the first two types have been the most popular.

The terms replacement schedule and wearing schedule may be confusing. Replacement schedule is the frequency that your lenses are replaced, while wearing schedule refers to your removal frequency. Disposable lenses are offered in different wearing schedule: both daily wear and extended wear.

Contact lenses require regular cleaning to keep lenses clean and prevent eye infections. However, cleaning process can not wipe out all the deposits on them, including protein, calcium, lipids that are generated by tears. So that after a period time of wearing, contact lenses should be discarded.

One fact is that if you replace contacts with a higher frequency, more healthy insurance your eyes will get. In this case, daily disposable contact lenses just provide the extreme solution. Also called one-day disposables, these contact lenses are discarded every night and replaced by a new one in the morning. Daily disposable contact lenses eliminate all care such as cleaning and storing.

In the early days, contacts were expensive devices and most people thought that it was pity to discard them frequently. This concern originated from the contacts materials and designs. Nowadays, new manufacture methods have been created thus contact lenses can be made in greater volume and still at lower price. Furthermore, even new materials are created to produce these disposable contacts that bring down their price.

If you take conventional contact lenses, cleaning products like solutions are a necessity, which are also a part of the total expenses. Disposable contact lenses remove this cost, so that the incremental cost is relatively reduced, even if you use daily disposable contacts. In addition, disposable contacts’ price may vary between different cities, ECPs, and your specific prescriptions.

The only thing that may affect your eligibility for disposable contacts is your prescription. If you have a special prescription, your selection of disposable may be narrowed down. For example, you may only be permitted to wear frequent replacement contacts, rather than disposable lenses. Even if you can only wear traditional contacts, the good news is that the cleaning technology has been improved.

The replacement frequency of disposable contact lenses depends on your eyes conditions. Some people may have more proteins and lipids in their tears, while others may have allergies. For these people, the frequency should be higher. Always follow your doctor to determine the best replacement schedule and wearing schedule.
