Disposable Contact Lenses - A Pair a Day?

The invention of contact lenses was a leap forward in convenience and comfort for those requiring corrective eye wear. And the advent of disposable contact lenses from companies such as Lens Crafters, have made an option available for every individual who chooses to use them over eyeglasses.

When contact lenses first came into popular use, it was discovered that the length of time they could be worn was limited by the fact that the lens material blocked oxygen from reaching the cornea under the contact. Thanks to continuous advances in technology, this is no longer a problem, and it's possible now to get disposable contact lenses that can be worn 24 hours a day, for up to seven days. Only two brands in the U.S., CIBA Vision's Night & Day and Pure Vision by Bausch and Lomb, are licensed by the FDA for wear up to 30 days.

These extended wear lenses, are not for everyone. It's important that you consult your eye care professional, about the type of disposable contact lenses that you should be wearing, to suit your vision requirement and your lifestyle. Then you can start looking at reputable suppliers like Lens Crafters, for the best prices on the options your doctor has recommended.

Whether you select daily wear lenses, weekly, or disposable contact lenses that are good for a month, make sure that you choose a manufacturer and retailer who stand behind their products, and offer customer advice on care and replacement.
