What is the difference between daily, monthly, and yearly contacts?

Asked a year ago
Daily, monthly, and yearly contacts refer to the duration for which contact lenses can be worn. Daily contacts, as the name suggests, are disposable lenses meant to be worn for a single day. They offer convenience and eye health benefits by eliminating the need for cleaning and storing. Monthly contacts are replaced and cleaned every month, providing a cost-effective option for regular wearers with proper care. Yearly contacts, also known as extended wear lenses, are designed to be worn continuously for up to a year. These are typically made of silicone hydrogel material, allowing more oxygen to reach the eyes. However, it is important to consult an eye care professional to determine the most suitable option based on specific eye health needs and lifestyle.
