What type of lens is Softmed Breathable Advanced?

Softmed Breathable Advanced lenses are classified as two-week disposable contact lenses. This means they are designed to be worn for a specific duration of time, typically up to two weeks, before they need to be replaced. This type of lens allows for comfort and breathability, facilitating longer wear while providing adequate oxygen transmission to the cornea.

The two-week replacement schedule is beneficial because it strikes a balance between convenience and eye health, ensuring that lenses are changed regularly to reduce the risk of complications such as infections or deposit buildup. Regular lens replacement is an important aspect of contact lens care, as it helps maintain a clear and comfortable visual experience for the wearer.

In contrast, daily lenses are meant for single-use and should be discarded after one day, while monthly lenses can be worn continuously for a month before disposal, provided they are maintained properly. Weekly lenses fit a more flexible wear schedule but generally don’t provide the extended wear benefits associated with two-week lenses, thus making the two-week designation specific for Softmed Breathable Advanced.
