Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between daily and monthly contact lenses?
Daily contact lenses are worn once and thrown away at the end of the day—no cleaning is required. Monthly contact lenses are worn daily but are removed, cleaned, stored each night, and replaced monthly. The best option depends on your lifestyle, eye health, and preference.
Are contact lenses safe to wear every day?
Yes, contact lenses are safe for daily wear when fitted properly and used according to your provider’s instructions. Following hygiene guidelines and replacing lenses as recommended to reduce the risk of eye infections or irritation is essential.
What are specialty contact lenses used for?
Specialty contact lenses are custom-designed for patients with complex eye conditions such as keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, scarred eyes, or irregular astigmatism. These lenses offer clear, comfortable vision when traditional contacts or glasses aren’t effective.
How do I know if I need specialty contact lenses?
You may be a good candidate if you’ve had difficulty wearing standard contacts, experience blurry vision even with glasses, or have a history of eye surgery, disease, or corneal irregularity. An eye exam and fitting at a specialty provider—like RMU Eye Institute—can determine your best option.
Can I get colored contact lenses with a prescription?
Yes! Colored contact lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription forms. They can enhance or completely change your eye color while still correcting your vision—perfect for daily wear or special occasions.
Do contact lenses work for astigmatism or presbyopia?
Absolutely. Toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, and multifocal or bifocal lenses help with presbyopia (age-related trouble focusing up close). There are even specialty options for complex cases that standard lenses can’t manage.
