Disposable Contact Lenses
Disposable contact lenses are replaced on a set schedule, whether daily, biweekly, monthly, or annually, making them a more hygienic and convenient option than traditional lenses that last six to twelve months. Because they are designed to be replaced frequently, disposable lenses require less maintenance and reduce the risk of deposit buildup, irritation, and infection.

About Disposable Contacts
Disposable contact lenses have largely replaced traditional lenses because they are more affordable, more hygienic, and easier to maintain. They are available in daily, biweekly, monthly, and annual replacement schedules, and cover a wide range of prescriptions including standard, toric, and multifocal. Your eye care professional determines which replacement schedule and lens type fits your prescription, lifestyle, and eye health needs.
Disposable Contacts Overview
Disposable contacts prioritize eye health by keeping your lenses fresh. Swapping them out according to your doctor's schedule ensures you always experience crisp vision and a smooth, comfortable fit without long-term buildup.

Features of Disposable Contact Lenses
Disposable contact lenses come in four main replacement schedules. Daily disposables are single-use lenses discarded at the end of each day with no cleaning required. Biweekly disposables are replaced every two weeks with nightly cleaning and storage. Monthly disposables are worn for up to 30 days with nightly maintenance, and some are FDA-approved for extended wear of up to 30 nights. Annual disposables are typically rigid gas-permeable lenses that last a full year and require consistent daily care.
The right schedule depends on your lifestyle and how committed you are to a lens care routine. Your eye care professional will assess your prescription and lifestyle during a contact lens fitting to determine which replacement schedule fits best.
Replacement schedules at a glance:
- Daily - single use, no cleaning required, discarded at end of day
- Biweekly - replaced every two weeks, nightly cleaning and storage required
- Monthly - replaced every 30 days, nightly cleaning required, some approved for extended wear up to 30 nights
- Annual - typically RGP lenses, replaced once a year, require consistent daily care

How Much Are Disposable Contact Lenses?
The cost of disposable contact lenses depends on your replacement schedule, brand, and prescription type. Toric and multifocal lenses typically cost more per box than standard lenses, and color-enhancing lenses also tend to carry a higher price. Insurance coverage, manufacturer rebates, and retailer discounts can all help reduce your annual lens cost.

How to Insert and Remove Disposable Contact Lenses
The insertion and removal process differs slightly between soft and RGP lenses. Always wash and dry your hands before handling either lens type.
To insert soft lenses:
- Wash hands with mild soap and dry with a lint-free towel
- Scoop the lens out of the case with the index finger of your dominant hand
- Rinse with multipurpose solution and inspect for tears or debris
- Pull down your lower eyelid with the middle finger of your dominant hand
- Place the lens on your eye while looking straight ahead and blink to center it
- Repeat with the other lens
To remove soft lenses:
- Hold your eyelids open with one hand
- Gently pinch the lens between your index finger and thumb
- Carefully lift the lens off your eye and repeat with the other lens
To insert RGP lenses:
- Follow the same insertion steps as soft lenses
- RGP lenses require an adjustment period of several weeks before they feel comfortable
- Wear them consistently as skipping days will reset the adjustment process
To remove RGP lenses:
- Wash and dry your hands before starting
- For your left eye, place the index finger of your left hand at the outer corner of your eye and hold your right hand below your eye
- Look down at your right hand and pull your eyelid toward your ear with your left index finger
- Blink and the lens should pop out
- Repeat for the other eye

Been wearing these for many years. Very thin to allow more oxygen to the eye. I remove and sanitize daily. Great product.

This order was for my grand daughter. Ordering is always easy and ships promptly. She just started wearing contacts.
Excellent service!
This product has nothing to dislike about. It is a good quality of contact lenses and will not stop using this brand. My vision is satisfactory using Air Optix brand. Please do not stop carrying them. The sales representative was also very knowledgeable, professional, articulate and kind. My order came in before Thanksgiving and I appreciate it. She expedited sending my order so I will be happy, satisfied with my new lenses. Thank you kindly, for the excellent service !

Would highly recommend them!
