Contact lenses that are used temporally and replaced after a specified period of time are termed as disposable contact lenses. A doctor advises you to replace the contact lenses to maintain the smooth functioning of the eye.
There are different terminologies regarding the types of contact lenses. ?Disposable contact lenses? are those that are replaced after every two weeks or even earlier. ?Frequent contact lenses? are exchanged after a month or even quarterly. ?Traditional or reusable contact lenses? are replaced in six months or in a year.
People commonly face confusion about the replacement schedule and wearing schedule intervals of contact lenses. Replacement schedule refers to the frequency of replacing the lens. Wearing schedule means just removing the lens for a short time and wearing them again. They fail to understand the true nature of the lenses whether it is disposable, frequent contact type or traditional type. They are not even able to decide if they should remove them while sleeping or to wear the contact lenses during sleep.
It is really beneficial to change your lenses as often as possible, because protein, calcium, lipids etc get collected day by day thus causing uneasiness in both the eyes and increasing the risk of infections.
