disposable contacts

Single-use eye correctors

Disposable contacts are contact lenses designed to be worn for a limited time and then thrown away.

Unlike traditional contacts that require daily cleaning and last a year or more, disposables come in daily, weekly, or monthly varieties: I switched to daily disposable contacts because I kept forgetting to clean them.

The convenience comes at higher ongoing cost.
