Moreover, the purchase of an annual supply of contacts makes great economic sense in that it allows for both one-stop shopping as well as enabling you to take advantage of many manufacturers’ rebates (to qualify for most rebates the CL purchase must be completed within 90 days of your exam).

As a continuation of the previous blog entry, contact lens wearers also need to comply with the lens replacement schedule prescribed by their eye doctor in order to maintain the health of their eyes. The replacement schedule depends on the contact lens material and design, as well as lifestyle and the condition of the individual’s eyes. Conventional soft contacts can last up to a year; conventional rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses can last even longer. Frequent or planned replacement contact lenses last one to several months. Disposable contacts last from one day (if worn as daily wear) to up to two weeks (if worn as extended wear).

In order to maintain optimum ocular health, contact lens wearers need to comply with the wearing schedule prescribed by their eye doctor. Unless specifically prescribed, daily wear contact lenses should never be worn as extended wear. Daily wear contact lenses must be removed before sleep. Extended wear contacts can be worn continuously (day and night) for up to a certain number of days, usually seven to thirty. Extended wear contacts are made of special materials that allow more oxygen to reach your eye, which makes them safer for wear during sleep. The FDA determines the maximum amount of time that extended wear lenses can be worn before their removal. As previously stated, some brands are approved for up to seven days of continuous wear; others can be worn up to thirty days.
