Introduction to Daily Contact Lenses

Daily Disposable contact lenses are a simple and safe alternative to glasses and can be used daily or every now and then depending on your lifestyle. Here at Dimple we want to make sure you’re getting the best vision possible from our contact lenses so we recommended visiting your optometrist each year to ensure your prescription is up to date.

History of Daily Contact Lenses

You might be surprised to learn that Leonardo DaVinci had made the first sketch of the contact lens back in the year 1508. He proposed that having your head submerged in water could change your vision and even created prototypes of the device that would alter the eyes vision that resembles a contact lens. These prototypes were unsuccessful but DaVinci could be credited to inspiring thinker Rene Descartes for creating his prototype of the contact lens which involved a glass tube being filled with liquid and being placed directly on the cornea.  Muller, a German glassblower that used Herschel's ideas to come up with the first known glass contact lens back in 1887. Other reports say that it was actually Adolf E. Fick and Edouard Kalt, a Paris optician that created and fitted the first glass contact lenses for correcting vision problems back in 1888. Many years later we have the thin and comfortable  contact lenses for daily wear.

Materials Used to Make Daily Contact Lenses

Daily wear contacts  are composed of  a gel-like plastic material called hydro gel. This thin material allows and has a high water content to retain moisture in the eye. This is precisely why disposable contact lenses come are stored in liquid solution and in a tightly sealed package. The moisture level is what makes our contact lenses comfortable for daily use making easy to apply to your eye and take out with no issues.  It’s packaged to have enough moisture content for 14-16 hours maximum usage after opening. After use, these contacts are meant to be immediately disposed of and cannot be reused. Soft contacts are the most popular worldwide and within the soft lens category, daily disposable lenses are the most popular due to convenience and improved hygiene. 

Difference Between Daily & Monthly Contact Lenses

Daily contact lenses have a thin lens designed for daily wear only and once taken out need to be disposed of and cannot be reused. Monthly contact lenses are lenses that are designed to be reused without deterioration for one month. Monthly lenses differ from daily lenses as they are made with a slightly thicker material making them obtain moisture better to last a full month. Monthly lenses will also need to be properly cleaned, put into solution in a contact lens case. If you’ve worn daily contacts before and are switching to monthly lenses we recommend visiting your local optometrist for a demonstration on how to properly care for your reusable lenses to avoid infection. We also recommend discussing with your optometrist the best contact lens type for you based on your prescription and lifestyle needs.
