Fortnightly Contact Lenses

Frequently Asked Questions

What are fortnightly contact lenses

Fortnightly contact lenses are disposable contact lenses that you discard after wearing them for two weeks, much like monthly or daily contact lenses. These contact lenses are designed to be used during the day; therefore, users will put them in their eyes in the morning, remove them at the prescribed usage time in the evening, and soak them overnight in lens solution.

How long can you wear fortnightly contact lenses?

The lenses should be thrown away and changed after being worn for 14 days. Opticians also point out that although they are designed to be worn for 14 days, it is not advised to wear them for more than 14 days at a time. As a result, once the box for the lenses is opened, they should only be worn for 14 days after that. This is because the edges of the lenses start to develop fuzzy lines.

Are fortnightly contact lenses better?

Fortnightly contact lenses are sometimes preferred over daily or monthly because they offer advantages of both alternatives while still being more cost-effective. Fortnightly contact lenses are almost as sanitary and safe as daily lenses while still being an option that many people can afford. The most sanitary choice for contact lenses is a daily replacement. As you use contact lenses, a buildup of dirt and dust forms; daily replacement ensures that this dust is thrown out and eliminates any possibility of the buildup coming into contact with your eye. Monthly contact lenses are used for such a prolonged period of time, it is important to ensure that the cleaning procedure is carried out meticulously and completely. Fortnightly contact lenses can be seen as somewhere in between the two as an option, although you don't have to clean them for 30 days which reduces the risk of bacteria, they are more affordable than dailies.
