If you ask a group of eye doctors, “What are the best disposable contact lenses?” you’re likely to get multiple different answers, depending on their experiences with different materials and designs. And if you ask your own eye doctor that question, he or she will likely turn the tables and start asking you questions about how you define “best.” Are you looking for the best comfort, vision, ease of handling, something else? In fact, the best disposable contact lenses for you may not be what’s best for your friend or your uncle or your coworker.
Let’s take comfort. Sometimes lenses that start out comfortable become less comfortable as the day goes on. If you have to remove your contact lenses before your day has ended, they may not be the best disposable contact lenses for you. You’ll need to ask your eye doctor if you can try lenses that score well when it comes to end-of-day comfort. Then there’s vision. If you need sharp, clear vision all day, every day, especially for driving at night, then you’ll want a lens that resists deposits, or maybe you’re better off with a lens that you throw away after wearing it for a day. Your doctor may discover you need a lens that corrects for aberrations to give you the best vision. After putting together your wish list – and thanks to advanced contact lens technology – your eye doctor will be able to prescribe the best disposable contact lenses for you.
