Daily Disposable Lenses – Why one should go for it ?

Choosing the exact pair of contact lenses is important for your eyes. Users have experienced new heights of comfort wearing daily disposable contact lenses and all because of the following reasons:

You will completely get rid of cleaning and storing your contacts every night. What all you have to do is only to toss the lenses into the dustbin before going to sleep at night. In addition to that, you don’t have to buy saline solutions or cleaners which will save a good amount of money.

Disposing the lens daily almost eliminates the chance of irritants like dirt, hair, oil etc. getting transferred to the lens and eventually to the eyes. Even the lens storage containers may collect bacteria which can cause eye infections. Dailies just don’t give any chance of such eye irritations taking place.

If you had used monthly disposables or bi-weeklies earlier, then you must know how it feels to wear used contacts. But in case of daily disposables, you will get the feeling of wearing a fresh pair of lenses every morning.

These lenses are not as thick as other lenses. Therefore dailies are not at all noticeable.

There is really no chance of pathogen build-ups on the surface of the lens as you will dispose it at the end of the day.

If your traditional lenses get lost, ripped or tore up, it may cost a lot of money as you have to order a new pair and the delivery will also take time. But in case of daily disposables, you always have a fresh pair of lenses with you. So, cheers!

For sportsmen, daily disposables are ideal. They can wear a fresh pair just before beginning of the match. If the person lost it during the match, he/she can wear a new pair and continue playing. Is not it cool?

Daily disposables come handy for travelers also. Just put a box into your travel bag and trash the pair when you will go to bed at night.

By now I am quite sure that you have made your mind to go for daily disposable lenses. But, always consult with your eye doctor before opting for any kind of lenses. After all, it is for your eyes only -your most valuable possession.

Consider buying your contact lenses online. You will find that buying contact lenses online is a more affordable option than buying from your neighbourhood optician.

History of Contact Lenses

LATE 1400S Leonardo da Vinci is cited as the first individual to develop the concept of a contact lens based on certain sketches. It is suggested, however, that the sketches dealt with the concept of image reversal and not the concept of a contact lens.

LATE 1880SAdolf E. Fick, Eugene Kalt, and August Müller all produced glass scleral shells. Fick called them “Contactbrille” or contact spectacles, while Müller called them “Hornhautlinsen” or Corneal Lenses. Kalt was later the first to treat keratoconus by utilizing a glass shell approximating the radius of the normal cornea.

1886Xavier Galezowski introduced using “plaquettes” to cover the corneal surface. These were gelatin squares soaked in mercury chloride and designed to reduce the possibility of infection after cataract surgery. This was considered the first use of a “therapeutic” contact lens.

EARLY 1900SGerman companies Carl Zeiss and Müller led the optical industry in advanced usage of scleral contact lenses. In 1931, Joseph Dallos determined that tear flow beneath the contact lens was important and published the results of his study of 120 fittings. He later added fenestrations at the corneoscleral junction of the lens, which provided the flow of oxygenated tears to the underlying cornea.

1934 – 1960 SIn 1934, Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was the first plastic used for corneoscleral lenses. In 1948, Kevin Touhy was granted a patent for a corneal contact lens using PMMA that fit only on the cornea and not on the sclera, and became the contact lenses of choice throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

1954 – 1971The first synthesis of a “soft” contact lens material, hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), by O. Wichterle and D. Lim (Czechoslovakian scientists) occurred in 1954. This was followed by the development of spin-casting of HEMA by Otto Wichterle, (Christmas night in 1961 using his son’s erector set). Spin-casting became an ideal way to manufacture soft contact lenses. Soft contact lenses were first introduced in the United States in 1971 by Bausch and Lomb who acquired the rights to spin-casting and HEMA in 1966 from the National Patent Development Corporation.

197120/20 Optical Group estimates that the wholesale contact lens market was approximately $800,000.

197920/20 Optical Group estimates that the wholesale contact lens market was approximately $480 million.

1981First contact lenses for overnight wear were introduced.

1982The first bifocal soft contact lenses were introduced (BiSoft® by CibaVision).

1984Enhancement tinted soft contact lenses were released (SoftColors® by CibaVision). Introduction of hydrogen peroxide care systems also occurred.

1987A major development occurred with the introduction of disposable soft contact lenses (Acuvue® by Vistakon).

LATE 1980SA formulation of fluorosilicone acrylate material for rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses became available; disposable soft contact lenses were introduced, along with soft contact lenses to change eye color.

1990SDirect contact lens distribution to patients through companies or eye care practitioners who provided this option as a value-added service increased significantly. Daily disposable lenses were introduced along with RGP lenses with low silicone content and high Dk fluorosilicone acrylates.

2001A new concept in extended wear (continuous wear up to 30 nights) was first approved by the FDA in the United States
