Monthly disposable contact lenses are worn for a month daily (and taken out at night). Because they are used for a relatively longer period than daily disposable contact lenses or two weekly disposable lenses, it is of paramount importance to take care of them and clean the protein and mineral deposits that can build up on your lenses. Negligence with regard to the cleansing and disinfecting regime can take a toll on the health of your eyes as these deposits can not only pose uncomfortable, but also prove fatal to the health of the eyes.
With the advancement of technology and scientific research in the world of lenses, monthly contact lenses have been now made as comfortable as possible. Now, monthly contact lenses are mostly made of silicone hydrogel which allows seven times more oxygen to reach the cornea than normal lenses. The more oxygen reaches your eyes, the more fresh your eyes will feel, and the less risk there will be of getting corneal ulcers or pain, redness and vision difficulties in the eyes.
Monthly contact lenses are a very good option to choose for lens users, the only important and integral thing being the cleansing and disinfecting routine, which should in no way be neglected. The protein, calcium and lipids which are found naturally in tears should be removed to ensure better health. However, some people’s eyes have a tendency to produce more protein and lipids than others. In that case, monthly contact lenses may not be a good choice for them as they will need lenses which can be replaced more often (e.g. daily disposable contact lenses).
It is always advisable to abide by the instructions and advice given by your optometrist when you opt for monthly disposable contact lenses. Monthly disposable contact lenses have most popular products like Air Optix Aqua, Biofinity, Soflens 38, Surevue.
