One mode of contact lens wear that is on the rise is daily one-day disposable contacts.  Clearly the healthiest and most convenient way to wear contacts, these contacts are available in most all prescriptions, and all the major contact lens makers now offer a one day disposable lens option.  These lenses are preferred for those that have problems with allergies, dryness from contacts, and those that simply want the convenience of a daily disposable.  They are especially good for those that only wear contact lenses occasionally or only for sports and recreation.

While daily disposable contacts may be a little more expensive for the contact lens wearer, savings come in not having to buy cleaning solution and other supplies.  You don’t even need a contact lens case unless you want to take the lenses out for a while.  Also, there is no worrying about torn lenses or having to throw out a 2-week or monthly lens before time has expired.  Check with your eye care doctor as to the availability of daily disposable contacts in your prescription.
