DISPOSABLE (Scheduled) CONTACT LENESThe majority of
soft contact lens wearers are prescribed some type of frequent
replacement schedule. "Disposable," as defined by the FDA, means used
once and discarded. With a true daily wear disposable schedule, a brand
new pair of lenses is used each day.
Some soft contact lenses are
referred to as "disposable" by contact lens sellers, but actually, they
are for frequent/planned replacement.
With extended wear lenses,
the lenses may be worn continuously for the prescribed wearing period
(for example, 7 days to 30 days) and then thrown away. When you remove
your lenses, make sure to clean and disinfect them properly before
reinserting.
