Different Types of Contact Lenses and their Pros & Cons:
Daily Disposable Contacts:
Daily disposable contact lenses are a convenient option for those who wear contacts. These contacts are thinner and have higher water content than monthly or yearly disposable contacts. They are designed to be used once, then thrown away. Suitable for busy people, who don't have time to deal with the cleaning and storing of contact lenses, daily disposable contact lenses are a good alternative.
PROS: They are more comfortable to wear and easier to care for. You just use a fresh pair every day—there's no discomfort, and you never have to wash them.
CONS: They can be slightly more expensive than the other types of contact lenses.
Monthly Disposable Contacts:
Monthly disposable contact lenses are made of a more durable material than daily disposable lenses. Unlike daily disposable lenses, the monthly ones are reusable and must be rinsed, cleaned and disinfected regularly so that you don't suffer eye irritation.
PROS: Monthly contact lenses are more economical than daily ones because you only have to buy a new pair once a month. They are less-hassle as you don't need to stocking up on supplies because you only need to replace them once a month.
CONS: Monthly contact lenses need to be cleaned everyday to ensure they are safe and healthy to use. If they are not cleaned regularly, protein build-up can cause blurred vision, discomfort and cause serious eye health problems.
Yearly Disposable Contacts:
Yearly disposable contact lenses are designed to be used for longer periods of time than daily disposables. These lenses are made from Polymacon, which have less cumulative deposits accumulation than monthly or daily replacements lenses.
PROS: They are the best value because they are the least expensive. They last longer than other kinds of contact lenses because they’re designed and made durable to run a full year. They don’t need to be replaced as often, so they’re convenient and hassle-free.
CONS: Yearly disposable contact lenses need lots of cleaning and care. They must be cleaned regularly to prevent infections, and they are not a good choice for people with sensitive eyes.
