One time user of contact lenses here: Most times, complications due contact lenses is because of improper care by the user. You need to clean lenses every time you want to wear or store them. You need to do this even with disposable lenses. It's a big hassle.
- silencio 7y agoYou don't have to clean daily disposables (like Hubble). I mean, I'm sure some people are reusing daily disposables, but the idea is to just use and toss. I switched to daily disposables a few years ago (out of ~15 years of contacts use) and I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I no longer have to spend like 4-5 minutes a day cleaning the lenses or throwing 2 week disposables 1 week into use due to protein buildup, and they no longer aggravate my allergies either.
- ghaff 7y agoPeople vary. Extended wear disposables were so great for me when I switched many years ago. Protein buildup meant that even with cleaning contacts were uncomfortable by the time I had to replace them. On the other hand I’ve never had an issue with 2 week extended wear.
