Monthly contacts come in different designs, so you can choose a lens type that matches your prescription, comfort needs, and routine. On 1-800-GET-LENS, monthly disposable options include standard spherical lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and colored lenses for cosmetic color changes.
Standard Monthly Contacts
These are made for basic nearsightedness or farsightedness correction. They're a straightforward choice if you don't need astigmatism or multifocal correction.
Monthly Contacts For Astigmatism
Toric monthly lenses are designed to help correct astigmatism. They're a good option if your prescription includes cylinder and axis values.
Monthly Multifocal Contacts
Multifocal monthly contacts help with near and distance vision. They're usually worn by wearers with presbyopia who want help reading up close without switching between glasses and contacts.
Monthly Colored Contacts
Colored monthly contacts can change or enhance your eye color while still fitting into a monthly replacement routine. Some also come with prescription power, depending on the product.
What Eye Conditions Can Monthly Contact Lenses Correct?
Monthly contact lenses can correct several common vision needs, depending on the lens design and your prescription. The American Academy of Ophthalmology notes that contact lenses can help correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
- Nearsightedness: Monthly spherical contacts can help if you see nearby objects clearly but struggle with distance vision.
- Farsightedness: Monthly contacts can also correct farsightedness, which can make close-up tasks feel blurry or tiring.
- Astigmatism: Toric monthly contacts are made for eyes with astigmatism, where the cornea or lens has an uneven curve.
- Presbyopia: Multifocal monthly contacts can help if you need support for both near and distance vision, which is common as your eyes age. The American Optometric Association describes presbyopia as age-related trouble focusing on close objects.
