Other Disposable Soft Lenses

All lenses are disposable.  They differ in how often you dispose of them.

Soft Lenses are FDA approved to be worn on a daily basis, and are then replaced with a new one after aspecific time, for example, there are lenses that are approved for 1 or 2 weeks, for 1, 2, 3, or 6 months.    They must be cleaned after every use. 

As a lens get older, there are more deposits from your own tears that are on the lenses.  More deposits lead to more potential for problems.  When someone does not clean their lenses or does not replace them when they should be replaced, they are at a greater risk for problems.  If you or your child can keep to a regimen, these are great.  If not, then this can lead to problems.    

What kind of problems? 

  • Corneal Ulcer
  • Giant Papillary conjunctivitis
  • Neovacularizartion

These are some examples of problems that we want to help you solve BEFORE they ever become a problem.
