Monthly contact lenses

Everyone is different, and each of us is entitled to his or her own preferences. When it comes to contact lenses, it's the same thing: you can choose the lenses that suit your desires, your lifestyle and, above all, you'll follow the advice of your ophthalmologist, who will help you make the right choice for your lifestyle.

Because contact lenses are medical devices, you'll need to visit your eye care professional to obtain a prescription before buying them.

A choice you won't regret

By opting for monthly contact lenses, you'll enjoy the peace of mind of being able to wear them for longer. You'll discover that some contact lenses can be worn for up to seven days without being removed - with your ophthalmologist's approval, of course. Not all contact lenses can be worn overnight. It would be dangerous for your eyes to deprive them of oxygen with lenses not approved for continuous use. Risks include eye infections and even blindness.

Don't be careless: your eyesight is precious, so only use monthly contact lenses specially designed for extended wear. For those of you who wear make-up, special products are recommended to avoid damaging your contact lenses during make-up removal, if you only remove them once a week.

Advantages and disadvantages of monthly contact lenses

You used to be able to wear soft lenses and replace them only once a year. But you had to keep them perfectly clean. You had to take great care to prevent them from tearing and damaging your cornea. You needed cleaning products in several different bottles, at the risk of making mistakes, and cases to put your lenses in every night. All this came with a hefty price tag. You had to budget for lenses.

With monthly lenses, the total cost is somewhat lower than with daily lenses, and you only throw them away once a month, not every day - another way of reducing your waste.

With monthly lenses, your eyes are protected, oxygenated and always well hydrated. You won't feel itchy from dirt accumulating on the lens. Monthly disposable contact lenses are comfortable to wear, so you won't even notice they're there. To offer you such comfort, these lenses are thin, so handle them with care, always after washing your hands. Don't clean them with tap water or saliva, as your eyes won't tolerate germs.

By adopting these lenses, you'll be sure to keep your eyesight healthy, and your vision will be improved by a well-tuned correction. Discretion and convenience are yours with monthly contact lenses.
