With so many contact lens options available, it is natural to have questions about which contacts are best for your visual needs and lifestyle. You likely have heard about daily contacts when exploring your options. Eyes & Optics in Las Vegas, NV, is here to answer frequently asked questions about daily contacts to help you determine if these lenses are the best choice for your needs.
What are daily contact lenses?
Contact lenses differ in material, replacement schedules, and wear schedules. Specialized lenses are also available for people with specific conditions. Daily contacts are a popular option for those who do not want to care for contact lenses. You wear these lenses once and then discard them.
Will daily contact lenses work for me?
As with any contact lens, you must schedule a contact lens exam with your optometrist near you to determine if contacts are a good choice for your visual needs. We take detailed measurements and recommend a lens type for your eyes. We will have you try on several pairs and provide instructions on inserting and handling them. If daily contacts fit your needs and lifestyle, you will receive a trial pair and begin a prescription after a week or two.
Are daily contact lenses worth the extra cost?
The cost of daily contacts being worth it for you will depend on how much you value convenience. We often recommend these lenses for people who do not want to clean or disinfect extended-wear contacts. These lenses are also less prone to causing infections since you only wear them once. People who work specific jobs, participate in sports, or have dry eye syndrome may benefit from daily contact lenses.
Can I wear my daily contact lenses while sleeping?
No, you cannot wear your daily contact lenses while sleeping. In general, most contacts should not be worn to bed. Doing this significantly increases your risk of eye infections or cornea damage since contacts dry out. Talk with our eye doctor if you want specialized lenses for overnight wear.
