Contact lenses cannot correct all problems. There are more options today for choosing contacts than ever before. Rigid and soft options are available for extended wear, disposable wear, planned replacement, bifocal, and toric lenses. They are the easiest to care for, durable, and are a low risk for causing infections. These are hard to dislodge which makes them good for sports.
Replacement is needed once a year.
Extended to wear lenses are worn up to 7 days without cleaning or removal. There is an increased risk for infection when wearing these lenses. Replacement is needed once a year and they are available in RGP or soft lenses. Disposable soft lenses may be worn up to 14 days when removed every night. Deposit buildup is minimal.
