I've been using monthly lenses for years with no issues. Dailies are about 3x more expensive compared to monthly lenses. Just clean thoroughly and don't be cheap with the solution.

If you know how to clean the case and lenses, and don't sleep with them in, monthly contacts will work as intended.

I used to wear yearly contacts. Did that for 20 years before getting laser surgery. My eyes were fine. Dear society, Don’t go full OCD on everything please

[moistshitikal]

they are disinfected, the bacteria does build up after a month due to protien deposited however this is prevented by replacing every month, but if you follow the contact care correctly the contacts will be sterile

[mattandkatchristie]

I wear the same contacts for months doing so for years ZERO ISSUES! Properly clean them once a wk

[kennedi_lynn]

it rly isnt that gross because you can clean the contact lense case

[candaceyoung]

I clean my case every day after I take them out and put new solution in the cases everyday. My eyes are so important.

[Joeyblondewolf]

I clean and scrub my eye cases after EVERY use. I use more solution than most but that keeps them veryyyy clean. Been doing this for 15+ yrs and no issues. Eyes are always healthy, and i get yearly checkups

[isaacplaysagame]

I have such a bad astigmatism that my prescription is not made in daily’s 😢😢

[TheGrimFoot]

I'm very thankful to have perfect vision. Glasses, or contacts would be hell. My dad's Glasses cost him hundreds of dollars.

[miguelgutierrez]

Its called washing out your contact case with clean hands and the solution by rubbing the inside of the case and then letting them air dry upside down on a clean paper towel

[doqfrmb]

Solution is disinfecting. And even if something is “dirty” so? Are we getting sick? If not what’s the problem?

[DrivetoThrive]

I use one day contact lenses for 4 years now

[izayvvvh]

I use monthly but I use a solution that has hydrogen peroxide the red cap bottles and it disinfects my contacts really good, love it and never had a problem with them

[magicianzero]

I switches to dailies 6 yrs ago and never regretted it. I used to buy the monthly from 1800 contacts for $150 now I I use dailies and love them. I buy a 3 month supply for $300.

[parthajois]

Here's an idea, what happens if we clean the case?

[PandaHead]

[jouselozano]

Bro you can just clean the case it’s not disgusting if it is for you just get an hydrogen peroxide cleaning kit

[alex_baumi]

I clean out the case and put the solution in everyday as the doctor said so. And I also clean my month Lenses with a lens cleaner bruv.

[evastronomy]

I have wearing monthly contacts for over 30 years, no issues, they are part of my life. I wear a pair of contacts even for up to 3 month, the thing is, I DON'T sleep wearing them.
