Daily, Weekly, or Monthly Contact Lenses: What Contacts are Right for You?

In partnership with Alcon

Whether you’re a seasoned wearer or just starting out, understanding the differences between daily, weekly, and monthly contact lenses is important in determining which type of lens is right for you.

With Alcon’s newest one-week replacement contact lens, PRECISION7®, we thought now would be a great time to review the benefits of each option—so you can feel confident you're choosing the right contacts for your lifestyle.

Daily Contact Lenses: Convenience at Its Best

Best for: Daily disposable lenses are a fantastic choice if you’re looking for the convenience of putting in a fresh new pair of contacts every day. You put in a fresh pair in the morning and then change them at night—no cleaning, no storing. They’re ideal for people with busy lifestyles or occasional wearers who don’t want to commit to a cleaning routine.

Pros:

• No lens care or storage required
• Convenient if you're on the go
• One-day single use lens

Monthly Contact Lenses: Long-Term Value

Best for: Monthly lenses are designed to be worn daily and replaced after a month. They require proper cleaning and storage each night, but they offer a lower annual cost on average than daily disposable contact lenses.

Pros:

• Depending on brand, can be cost-effective for daily wear
• Fewer lenses to manage
• Available in a wide range of prescriptions

Weekly Contact Lenses: A bit of both

Best for: If you’re looking for contact lenses that can keep up with your busy lifestyle and want high quality lenses at an affordable price, a weekly replacement contact lens might be your perfect match. And now, there’s an option that offers balance between convenience and value.
