How often should I replace my contacts?

Asked a year ago
The frequency at which you should replace your contacts depends on the type of contacts you use. Daily disposable contacts should be discarded after each use and replaced with fresh ones the next day. Weekly or monthly disposable contacts should be replaced according to the specific wearing schedule recommended by your eye care professional. Generally, weekly lenses should be replaced every one to two weeks, while monthly lenses should be replaced every month. It is crucial to adhere to the replacement schedule to maintain proper eye health and prevent infections. If you experience discomfort, blurry vision, or any other vision issues, consult your eye care provider, as they may recommend changing your contacts sooner. Regular check-ups with your eye care professional are essential in ensuring the correct replacement schedule for your specific contact lenses.
