Weekly Contact Lenses

BIWEEKLY CONTACT LENSES

Bi-weekly contact lenses (also called “weekly contact lenses”) are technologically advanced lenses with enhanced durability so they can be comfortably worn every day for 2 weeks, or worn continuously for one week, before replacing.

Compared to daily disposable contacts, bi-weekly disposable contact lenses provide higher oxygen transferability and thinner, smoother lenses to prevent unwanted materials from sticking to the surface. They’ll need to be taken out nightly, but are far more cost-effective than single-wear contacts.

What are weekly contact lenses?

Weekly contact lenses are designed with the manufacturer suggesting the lenses be replaced every week or according to your eye care professional’s recommendations. The lenses generally are taken out every night to be cleaned and disinfected and inserted again in the morning. Some weekly lenses may be FDA approved for wear overnight but this must only be done with the approval of your eye care professional after determining your eyes are healthy enough to do this. The lenses are replaced every week to prevent protein build up and ensure comfortable wear.

What are two weekly contact lenses?

Two week contact lenses are designed with the manufacturer suggesting the lenses be replaced every week or according to your eye care professional’s recommendations. The lenses generally are taken out every night to be cleaned and disinfected and inserted again in the morning. Some two week lenses may be FDA approved for wear overnight but this must only be done with the approval of your eye care professional after determining your eyes are healthy enough to do this. The lenses are replaced every two weeks to prevent protein build up and ensure comfortable wear.

Can I wear two week contacts longer?

It is extremely important to follow both the wearing schedule and replacement schedule recommended by your eye care professional. They will evaluate your general eye health as well as discuss with you the type of lens that’s best suited to you. Following their recommendations can ensure not only your continued comfort but may increase the amount of time per day you can wear your lenses.
