# What are daily disposable lenses?

Daily disposable contact lenses are single‑use soft lenses that are worn for one day and discarded. They remove the need for cleaning and storage solutions.

## Advantages

Starting with a fresh, sterile lens each day reduces deposit build‑up and infection risk, and is particularly convenient for intermittent wear. They are well suited to people with allergies or busy lifestyles.

- No cleaning routine or lens case is required
- Ideal for sports, travel, or occasional social wear
- Less build‑up of protein and lipid deposits compared with reusable lenses
- Good option for young or less experienced wearers under supervision

## Considerations

Although unit cost per lens is higher, overall expense may be comparable for part‑time wearers. Appropriate fitting and ongoing professional care remain essential.

- Never reuse or attempt to "top up" daily lenses with solution
- Have an adequate back‑up of spectacles
- Environmental impact can be reduced through recycling schemes where available
- Discuss prescription range and availability with your practitioner
