Weekly disposable lenses are soft contact lenses designed to be worn for a limited period, often one to two weeks, before replacement. They bridge the gap between daily and monthly schedules.
Features
These lenses are removed each night, cleaned, and stored in fresh solution, then discarded at the end of the specified period. Some brands allow flexible wear patterns within this timeframe.
- Provide a balance between convenience and cost for regular wearers
- Reduced time for deposit build‑up compared with monthly lenses
- Require careful adherence to cleaning and replacement routines
- Available in spherical, toric, and sometimes multifocal designs
Suitability
Weekly lenses may suit people who want thinner, frequently renewed lenses but prefer not to use dailies. As with all lenses, proper hygiene and professional fitting are essential.
- Set reminders to avoid unintentional over‑wear
- Discard lenses immediately if they become damaged or uncomfortable
- Use only compatible solutions as recommended
- Attend regular aftercare appointments to check eye health
