Daily Disposable Contact Lenses: What They Are, How to Use Them, and Expert Do’s & Don’ts

What Are Daily Disposable Contact Lenses?

Daily disposable contact lenses are single-use soft lenses that you wear once and throw away at the end of the day.

You start each morning with a fresh, sterile pair, and by bedtime, they’re in the trash — no cleaning, no storing, no build-up.

They’ve become one of the most popular choices among patients at EyeXpert Optical because they:

• Reduce the risk of infections

• Offer exceptional comfort (especially for dry or sensitive eyes)

• Are ideal for people with busy lifestyles

• Require no lens solution or storage case

We carry top-quality brands like:

• Acuvue Oasys 1-Day

• Acuvue Moist 1-Day

• CooperVision MyDay

• Alcon Dailies Total1

• Bausch + Lomb Biotrue ONEday and more...

How Do You Use Daily Lenses?

Using daily disposables is as easy as it gets:

1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly

2. Open a new blister pack

3. Place the lens directly on your eye

4. At night, simply remove and toss them

5. Wake up and repeat with a new pair tomorrow

No disinfecting. No storage. No remembering when you last replaced your lenses.

✅ The Do’s of Daily Contact Lenses

Here are the essential habits that keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear:

• Dispose of each pair after one use. They are not meant to be reused — ever.

• Follow your eyecare professionals advice on wearing time and brand compatibility.

• Carry backup lenses when traveling or staying overnight somewhere.

• Remove your lenses immediately if your eyes feel irritated, dry, or red.

• Schedule regular eye exams to make sure your prescription and lenses are still a good fit for your eyes.

❌ The Don’ts You Must Know

Even though daily lenses are low-maintenance, there are still some golden rules you can’t ignore:

• Don’t reuse them. They’re not designed for multiple uses and trying to clean them is dangerous.

• Don’t overwear them. Stick to the recommended number of hours (usually no more than 14–16 per day).

• Remember the 3 S’s:

  • ❌ Don’t Sleep in them

  • ❌ Don’t Shower in them

  • ❌ Don’t Swim in them
    Water and sleep create an environment for harmful bacteria to reach your eyes — and daily lenses aren’t designed for extended wear or water exposure.

• Don’t use tap water or saliva to clean lenses — even for a second. These contain harmful microbes that could cause serious infections.

• Don’t ignore symptoms like burning, itching, or blurred vision — your eyes are trying to tell you something.
