We have been fitting disposable lenses since they were invented over
20 years ago.
These day's they account for practically all the contact lenses we fit
(for an idea of our fee structure click here)
The benefits of frequent replacement are well known
Basically we fit 3 types of lens:
2 weekly, monthly and daily replacement
If you require regular wear 6-7 days a week with long wearing times
maybe 15 -17 hours average I recommend 2 weekly lenses like Acuvue 2 or
Acuvue Advance
If you require regular wear 6-7 days a week with wearing times up to 12
- 14 hours average I normally recommend monthly replacement lenses
If you require irregular wear so the lenses are worn some day's and not
others I'd always recommend 1 day lenses
Please see cleaning instructions here
For the first time in years we have some genuine improvements on the contact lens front.
The latest Silicone Hydrogel lenses allow far more oxygen throught to the eye than anything that has gone before.
Not only does this allow longer wearing times with practically zero risk to the health of the eye but the new material offers the possibility of new lens designs.
What this means in practice is that we now have a bifocal lens that actually works giving far more people the chance to wear lenses through middle age and beyond.
Why not ask for a trial next time your in?
