Disposable contact lenses are good for occasional use, on a trip or for situations when cleansing the lenses is hygienically complicated.

The range for everyday usage is wide: lenses meant for the whole month or a couple of weeks, which can be cleaned in the evening and kept in a special container overnight.

Contact lenses meant for continuous wear are convenient for 24 hours use if they suit your eyes. Start using the lenses under the control and according to the instructions of your ophthalmologist or optometrist, and change old lenses for the new ones at the right time. So your eyes will stay healthy and the lenses are always clean.
