Monthly Lenses - Monthly Contact Lenses

Monthly disposables or monthly replacement contact lenses are designed to be worn every day and cleaned with contact lens solution. They are designed to be worn for up to 30 days wear while being cleaned and then stored in a lens case at night. Monthly lenses are the most economical contact lenses available. A one year supply of most brands is a fraction of the price of an equal quantity of daily replacement contact lenses. Monthly disposable contact lenses are also available to correct astigmatism, presbyopia, farsightedness or nearsightedness.

Monthly Contact Lenses

Monthly disposable lenses are also available as continuous wear, enabling the user to wear the lens for up to 30 days continuously meaning sleeping in the lens is possible. Continuous wear lenses are made from advanced material with a high DK value. DK measures the amount of oxygen that can permeate the lens. A high DK value allows the transmission of more oxygen to the eye than a normal lens, enabling the extended wear. Not all users are suited to this type of lens therefore it is essential to consult an optician before making the decision to buy.

Cleaning Your Monthly Lens

Contact lens cleaning solution is required for the maintenance of monthly lenses. Most solutions are suitable for all brands of contact lenses but it is advisable to consult an optician or to choose a trial or starter pack if unsure.
