Contact lenses offer many people with poor eyesight an opportunity to correct their vision without having to wear eyeglasses. Whether an individual wants to support their active lifestyle or they simply perfer the look of contact lenses over glasses, They provide a high level of convenience that attracts millions of wearers every year.
Advances in technology have led to disoposables. These light, throw away lenses mean that wearers don’t have to worry about a continuous cleaning schedule. At the end of the day, the user throws away the used pair of lenses, and then upon waking, they grab a fresh pair from the pack.
Contacts that are worn for lengthy periods must be cleaned every day to remove any build up of calcium, protein, and lipids that form, which makes them very uncomfortable and unhygienic. It doesn’t matter how carefully a wearer cleans her lenses, it isn’t impossible to remove all the deposits that build up.
Wearing contacts for prolonged periods can lead to infection and conditions like corneal ulcers. This medical issue is a result of small organisms which thrive in the warmer, wet situations. Dailys are the healthiest option, because they are changed often. There is little risk of infection due to poor cleaning or hygiene.
If a wearer is involved in a lot of activities where there is a high risk that a contact could become damaged, disposables are a less expensive option. If the lens falls out, he can replace it.
The key disadvantages with dailys are insertion. Daily Disposables are really soft and thin by comparison. As a result of this, insertion of disposables can at times be problematic. While being inserted, they can become folded in half. In addition, because of their thinness, disposables can sometimes rip during insertion, which makes them unwearable. An additional drawback is that soft contact lenses may absorb toxins, such as hand lotion from our hands. These contaminants irritate the surface of our eyes.
Buying disposables can appear more expensive, when you compare just the cost by itself. However, to clean your lenses every day, you are also going to have to buy cleaning products. If these costs are taken into account, dailys really aren’t much more expensive than traditional lenses.
Disposables can be a hygienic, maintenance-free option for you.
