Disposable daily contact lenses are extremely convenient for people who have visual problems that need correction. A new len is placed in each eye and thrown away when it's removed. The wearer doesn't have to worry about cleaning or disinfecting the lenses. They don't have to be stored in a lens case. The wearer doesn't even have to worry about losing her contacts since she has additional packets of her prescription just waiting to be opened. Perhaps the biggest drawback to disposable dailies is the cost. The price of disposables is slightly offset by the savings from not buying cleansing and disinfecting solutions, but can still add up for someone who wears contacts every day. However, some people wear eyeglasses most of the time and may only wear contacts on certain occasions. For example, a person who works from home doing extensive work on a computer may prefer wearing glasses most of the time. But he may wish to wear contacts when meeting clients or going out with friends. For this individual, who is wearing contacts only two or three times a week, daily contact lenses are a nominal expense.
Researchers know that proteins and other substances are naturally found in tears. When a person wears contacts, these substances build up on the lenses. This is why it's so important to clean and disinfect contacts after wearing them and before putting them back into one's eyes. This procedure used to be very cumbersome, especially for those who wore soft contacts. Each lens needed to be carefully positioned and locked in place, then sterilized in a small electrical appliance for several hours every day. Thanks to improvements in the effectiveness of disinfecting solutions, these appliances are no longer necessary. However, disposable daily contact lenses are a more hygienic option than using cleaning solutions. This is because even the most careful cleaning and disinfecting cannot completely remove the protein buildup. Additionally, not everyone takes proper care of their contacts or the storage case. Every time the contacts are handled, there is an increased risk of infection. Eye infections can be very serious. Contacts rest on the cornea and dirty lenses can create major problems.
Those who can't afford disposable daily contact lenses do have other options. Some contacts are made to be worn for up to two weeks before disposing of them. With proper cleaning and disinfecting of the contacts and the storage case, these lenses can be an economical option for lens wearers. Even though the contacts will be disposed, the wearer should still use proper handling techniques to reduce the risk of infection. Then, after keeping track of the two-week period, the contacts can be disposed and new ones placed in the eyes. The two-week disposables should not be confused with extended wear contacts. The latter are promoted as lenses that can be placed in the eyes for an extended period of time without being removed. This means that the person sleeps while wearing the contacts. However, most eye care professionals don't recommend that practice. Wearing contacts while sleeping is a sure way to increase the risk of getting a serious eye infection. It's better to remove the lenses, either cleaning and storing them or throwing them away, before going to bed. Here again, disposable daily contact lenses are very convenient since they don't need to be cleaned.
Jesus was questioned by the Pharisees for giving a blind man the gift of sight. The apostle John records Jesus' response: "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?" (John 9:39-40). Though the Pharisees had physical sight, they were blinded to the spiritual blessings that Jesus offered. Spiritual sight has the greater, eternal value. But proper care of physical sight honors this precious gift. Advances in technology have increased the availability of such options as disposable daily contact lenses for consumers. Because of improved materials and manufacturing methods, contacts can be produced in great volume which lowers the unit costs. The economy of scale means that contacts are more affordable than they were a decade or so ago.
Contacts are easier to purchase than ever. After an evaluation by an eye care professional, the consumer can receive a copy of the prescription that shows the information needed to purchase extended wear, biweekly, or disposable daily contact lenses. With the prescription in hand, the consumer can check out a few of the online stores that sell contacts to find the one with the best combination of pricing, customer service, and other benefits. For example, an online store may offer discounts for volume purchasing or free shipping for orders that total more than a certain amount. Reliability and reputation are two important factors when choosing a vendor. The consumer wants to be sure to do business with a company that provides a sterile product, offers a variety of shipping options, and has a helpful customer service staff. Disposable daily contact lenses are convenient and the most hygienic option for consumers. But the cost of daily replacing lenses may be too much for many people. When that's the case, consumers can look into wearing their contacts on a less frequent basis or opting for biweekly disposables. Whatever lenses the consumer chooses (after consulting with her eye care professional), it's important to develop and maintain proper handling and cleaning techniques of the contacts and, when used, the storage case.
