Contact lenses are available for all kinds of eye needs and conditions. They vary from monthly contacts to daily contacts; where one needs cleaning on an everyday basis, while the other is all about wearing a fresh pair of contacts and throwing away at the end of the day.

We have mentioned the different types of contact lenses which you can choose according to your lifestyle. Though, we will always recommend you to consult an eye specialist before making a final decision on picking a contact lens.

Without further adieu, let’s get straight into different types of Contact Lenses:

These contacts are known to be the most hygienic lenses of all as they need not be stored or reused. All you need to do is - slip on whenever required and throw it away after use. Most Daily Disposable Lenses are meant to be worn for all waking hours but should be disposed of and the wearability should not be extended.

Daily Wear Contacts - For the Workaholic

Daily wear contacts can be worn for an entire day, generally, around 14 to 16 hours and are comfortable all day long. Though, these contacts are not recommended for overnight use. These can be reusable or disposable, meaning they are discarded after several uses.

Toric Contacts - For the ‘I have cylindrical power, can I wear contacts?’

There is a common misconception around the fact that people with cylindrical power can’t wear contact lenses. This is absolutely not true! Toric contacts are uniquely designed to meet the special vision correction needs of people with astigmatism.
