• No need to keep records of how many days you’ve been wearing lenses. Simply put them in the morning and throw away in the evening.
• If the frequency of wearing does not exceed two times per week, or a couple of weeks a year, one-day lenses do not carry any financial burden in addition to prescription glasses.
• They are suitable in situations where pollution threatens the contact lenses that can lead to eye infections, such as swimming pools.

If you follow the instructions that your specialist lenses gave you, wearing one-day contact lens is almost without any risk. There are only the basic rules of hygiene when handling with lenses and regularly visiting your ophthalmologists for control examinations.

 

How to choose one-day contact lenses

In order to choose the type of one-day contact lens, it is necessary to visit a specialist for contact lenses, i.e. an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The control examination for one-day lenses is the same as for other types of soft contact lenses.

 

 

• Specialist assesses the health of your eyes, determines visual acuity and other parameters, which are necessary for the application of contact lenses.
• Then he advises you on the type of one-day contact lenses, in accordance with the measured parameters.
• After the application of test contact lenses, specialist uses microscope to check the correct position of the lens in the eye, teach you how to handle the lenses, and how to put them and remove them properly.

 

With one-day lenses, it is important to remember the rule that is general for all contact lenses: the type of lens that suits your friend, may not be appropriate for you, and wearing contact lenses without prior examination and approval of specialist can cause various eye infections, so visiting your ophthalmologist or optometrist is necessary.
