High Water Content Contact Lenses
High water content contact lenses are lenses whose water content is more than 60%. They are generally thicker than low water content lenses, which is why they are able to hold more water. The higher the water content in a lens, the more oxygen reaches the eye during lens wear.

About High Water Content Contact Lenses
High water content contact lenses are soft lenses with a water content of 50 percent or higher, designed to allow more oxygen to reach the cornea and provide comfortable all-day wear. They are available from leading manufacturers in daily, biweekly, and monthly replacement schedules and cover standard, toric, and multifocal prescriptions. Your eye care professional can confirm whether a high water content lens is the right fit for your eyes and lifestyle.
High Water Content Contacts Overview
High water content contact lenses offer a plush, cushion-like feel the moment you put them in. They are designed to keep the surface of your eyes feeling moist and comfortable from morning until you take them out at night.

Features of High Water Content Contact Lenses
High water content contact lenses contain a higher percentage of water than standard lenses, which allows more oxygen to reach the cornea during wear and generally makes them thicker and easier to handle during insertion, removal, and cleaning. Their higher moisture level makes them comfortable for everyday wear, though the thicker composition means some wearers may feel the lens on their eye.
One important consideration is that high water content lenses are more susceptible to drying out than low water content lenses, as they can absorb moisture from the tear film throughout the day. Wearers with dry eyes should speak with their eye care professional before choosing a high water content lens, as a low or medium water content option may be a better fit.
Popular High Water Content Contact Lenses
Several leading manufacturers offer high water content contact lenses across daily and monthly replacement schedules. Your eye care professional can confirm which lens fits your prescription and wear habits.

How Much Are High Water Content Contacts?
Most high water content contacts are hydrogel lenses that cost between $50 and $70 per box. High water content lenses made from silicone hydrogel materials may cost between $70 and $100 per box, and additional features such as UV protection or patented technologies can increase the price further. If you replace your contacts every two weeks, your annual lens cost could range from $500 to $700.
Note: Prices are subject to change and may vary based on prescription type, lens quantity, and current promotions. Check the Rebate Center at Lens.com for current offers before ordering.
How to Insert and Remove High Water Content Contact Lenses
High water content contact lenses are soft lenses made from hydrogel or silicone hydrogel materials and follow the standard insertion and removal process for soft lenses. Always wash and dry your hands before handling lenses.
To insert:
- 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:
- 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
