We'll cover everything about them and what brands offer them in order to help you decide if this is the right choice for you.

Introduction to Disposable Contact Lenses

Disposable lenses are a relatively new type of contact lens that are exactly what they sound like - disposable. They are significantly cheaper than traditional lenses and can be custom designed to fit any eye shape and size. These lenses are also made of softer materials which mitigate the likelihood that they’ll cause irritation or pain in the eyes.

Disposable contact lenses have several advantages over traditional contacts; they do not need to be replaced, they are made of soft materials to avoid discomfort, and they are usually cheaper. Disposable lenses are also simpler to produce than other types of contacts like rigid gas permeable lenses.

When Were Disposable Contact Lenses Invented?

Daily disposable contacts are a recent discovery. While soft lenses were discovered sometime in the early 20th century, Disposable contact lenses were invented in 1987. Since then, demand for disposable contacts and the technology used to produce them has significantly expanded.

What Are Disposable Contact Lenses Made Of?

Daily disposable lenses are made from a special flexible plastic that absorbs water. They remain soft as long as they’re soaked in water frequently. Most disposable contact lenses are made from silicone hydrogel. This allows for more oxygen to reach the eyes, keeping them healthy. This material can be used to correct certain types of vision and is recommended for patients with presbyopia and astigmatism.

One of two methods to make contact lenses is lathe-cutting or injection molding. To do this, small disks of contact lens material are placed on a spinning shaft to be cut in a lathe. Then, they are shaped using computerized tools. After the lens has been created, it is polished and hydrated before being tested for quality control.

Injection molding involves heating soft contact materials until they are liquid and then injecting them into molds. After they are shaped, they undergo polishing and quality testing.
