What are the advantages of disposable contact lenses?

Answer 1

Whether they are better or not is a question that is still being discussed in the Medical community. However, the advantages of the disposable is that they are permeable, which allows movement of moisture and air through them, making them easier to wear. They also adhere more closely to the eyeball, making them much less likely to fall out. Hard contacts are less likely to spread disease and force the eyeball to stay in proper shape, an important aspect for some eye diseases and conditions. Generally speaking they are more permeable to air, so your eyes get more oxygen. GENERALLY SPEAKING THEY don't make "hard" contact lenses anymore. The difference between regular and disposable contacts is strictly CONVIENIENCE. Both types are very "breathable", allowing oxygen to reach the eye. However, permenant contacts need constant upkeep. You need to steralize them in special containers which need electricity and special solutions in which to steralize them. With disposable lenses, you don't need all that inconvienience. You wear them and toss them out. With modern advances, they are able to make disposable lenses on par, cost wise, with permenant lenses. I have no doubt that soon, all lenses will be disposable. <<>> In Addition: Contact lenses come in different materials and different designs. Silicone hydrogel lenses are the most common non-daily lenses, usually allowing more oxygen flow to the cornea. Very soon there will be daily-wear silicone hydrogel lenses available such as 1-Day Acuvue TruEye from Johnson & Johnson. Other manufacturers will follow.

Answer 2

Contact lenses are much better then spectacles for the following reasons:

1) You would look much better with contacts then without.

2) Glasses seem to fall down from your face if you like to go to amusement parks for the thrill rides. Don't have to worry about that anymore.

3)If you are nearsighted and want to swim, you have to get contacts. Precription swim goggles are more expensive.

4) Glasses (the frames) break easily (if nearsighted). If you already have a contact lens prescription, wear them more then glasses.

5) Glasses some time get you a ridicule..but then with lenses you have a better way of improving your self-esteem.

Answer 4

Disposable contacts are to be worn for a day or week depending on the type of lens that is prescribed. Disposable lenses have a lower risk of infection, lower chance of calcium deposits and an overall more comfortable wear. Because they can be replaced daily or weekly if one happens to get lost or damaged it is not an issue; with regular long term lenses if one is lost or ripped the replacement lens could cost anywhere from $30.00 to $60.00.

Answer 5

Disposable contact lenses offer a variety of benefits to the wearer. Wearing contacts has an advantage over wearing glasses for those who enjoy participating in sport activities. Disposable contacts have an advantage over non-disposable contacts due to the fact that they do not need to be cleaned daily.

Answer 6

A disposable contact lens is one that you throw away after its usage period. There are a large selection of disposable contact lenses ranging from daily, weekly, to monthly. Once you have used the lens up to its proper time allotment then you throw them out and use another one.
