I started out wearing the Durasoft 3 lenses that I replaced once per year. I currently wear Freshlook lenses and replace them every month. I think it is more healthy that way.

Devoted contact lens wearers experience little or no worsening in vision in comparison to devoted eyeglass wearers due to this eye strain factor.
