Daily disposable soft contact lenses are one of the healthiest types of contact lenses available.  Not only are they the most comfortable lenses, but other benefits include using a new lens everyday without the extra cost of solution. These lenses are often prescribed to patients with seasonal allergies, allergies to solution preservatives or dry eye. The risk of eye infections is reduced since deposits and bacteria cannot build up.  The only downside to daily disposable lenses is the cost, which can be more than the weekly or monthly varieties.  I would recommend daily disposable lenses to almost all of my patients.
