No, you cannot nap in Biomedics XC lenses. As Biomedics XC are not approved for overnight wear (a full night's sleep), napping in them for a short period of time is not advisable either, and it can lead to eye-health complications. Napping for any length of time with contacts not designed for such an environment is risky. Choose a lens that is approved for overnight wear and seek guidance from your ECP if this is a requirement for you.

You need 4 box(es) of Biomedics XC contacts to last you for 12 months. These amounts pertain to a single eye, so to cover both eyes, double these amounts.

If you're wearing Biomedics XC for the first time, it can take several days to a couple of weeks for you to adjust to wearing them on a daily basis. Contacts vary from brand to brand in terms of their shape, material, breathability, wetting agents used, and other factors, thus requiring an adjustment period. Rigid/hard lenses can sometimes take longer to adjust to, whereas most contacts in use today employ a soft form of silicone that is typically easy to adjust to.

Unfortunately no, you can't use your eyeglass prescription for Biomedics XC lenses. Your eyeglass prescription only has the power part of the contact lens prescription. In addition to the power, the proper base curve (BC) and diameter (DIA) are needed to order contact lenses. Contact lenses come in different sizes and must be fit to your eye by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. As a replacement center, we can only sell you contact lenses that you are already wearing successfully. So ultimately eyeglass prescriptions are not the same as a prescription for Biomedics XC contacts. See an ECP/optometrist if you're looking for a contact lens prescription and fitting as a first-time-wearer.

Contacts, like Biomedics XC are made of hypoallergenic materials, meaning the contacts themselves don't usually cause an allergic reaction.

Biomedics XC contacts have a water content of 60%. The higher the water content in a contact lens, the more oxygen reaches the cornea during lens wear. There are other factors at play however so water content alone isn't enough of a factor to judge a lens' performance for a given person. High water content lenses can feel comfortable initially but may dry out over time, but this is not always the case. So it's good to know about the water content of a lens, but it's not everything. Consult your ECP to find out the best options for you.
