Daily disposables make the hygiene aspect ridiculously simple: wash and dry your hands, and throw them out when done. They're individually cheap enough that tossing a dropped lens every so often doesn't really hurt.
Of course, when I started I ran into an interesting issue: occasionally I'd wind up pulling them out briefly and reseating them for comfort. Once or twice, that bit me in the, er, eye when an eyelash got inserted with the lens. I wound up trying a couple different brands as a result, before stumbling on my current choice (Dailies Total1 lenses). At the risk of sounding like an ad, they're beyond comfortable and practically impossible to feel. Which has its own disadvantages. On a couple of occasions, a lens got shifted to the side of my eye and I wound up putting another one in the following day. And let me tell you, that's painful as hell after a few seconds.
I just wish there was a similar disposable lens designed to alleviate digital eyestrain. No way in hell would I willingly go to 30 day lenses.
- cholantesh 10y agoI don't think I'm a candidate for dailies; I have a very high prescription.
- e12e 10y agoWhat is "digital eyestrain"? I know some people claim yellow/orange glass glasses help - but if it's dry eyes, it might help to simply blink more often - maybe set a timer like for exercise/change position? And perhaps add in a round of focus exercise (focus far/focus close; repeat)?
- Bluestrike2 10y agoIt's also called computer vision syndrome, and is pretty common. Everything you mentioned helps alleviate it. But I've noticed that my contact lenses sometimes seem to precipitate it; at other times, they're perfectly fine. After doing a bit of reading, a relatively new aspheric lens design (Biofinity Energys) might help with that. But I'd rather just wear my glasses while working than deal with monthlies. 0. http://www.eyedolatryblog.com/2017/01/tired-eyes-understanding-aspheric.html http://www.eyedolatryblog.com/2017/01/tired-eyes-understandi...
