Disposable contact lenses have quickly dominated the market and this is an especially impressive accomplishment given the remarkable number of different products that are on offer.
These types of product offer a fantastic range of practical benefits for the consumer, providing a cost effective and manageable way to help correct their defective eyesight whilst at the same time, proving to be especially hygienic as well.
A common concern with it is that there is always the risk of an infection developing and given just how sensitive and fragile the eyes are, it is little wonder then that people are wary of contracting an eye infection.
One of the major flaws with other types of vision product is that they do not adequately factor in the "human factor" i.
e.
the risk of a person failing to properly disinfect their contact lenses container, or some equally potentially serious breach in protocol.
Disposable ones offer the best of both worlds, in that the user does not have to be bound by and adhere to a regimented routine whereby they have to ensure that they properly clean and store their product as they will dispose of them when they are finished anyway.
These types of contact lenses also tend to make use of softer, more porous materials which in turn allows more oxygen to enter into the eye, and thus reduce irritation to the eye itself.
Other types, in particular the hard version are extremely rigid and uncomfortable as a result meaning that there is a higher risk of irritation and infection as a result.
Please note however that disposable contact lenses are not suitable for everyone and you should ensure that you consult with your optician before you make any sort of commitment.
