Which Monthly Contact Lenses Are Right For You?
When it comes to understanding which contact lenses are right for you, it all starts with knowing what vision conditions you’re facing. Common vision conditions are caused by optical flaws that prevent the eye from properly focusing light, causing blurred vision. Depending on the flaw, they can affect your vision differently—causing nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia or astigmatism. All of which can be treated with contact lenses.
Caring For Your Monthly
Contact Lenses
Taking good care of your contact lenses will help make sure you get the most clean, comfortable experience wearing them. Here’s some tips to keep your contact lenses performing at their best.
Help Keep Your Lenses Clean And Comfortable All Month Long
Sparkling Clean and Comfortable
Contact lens solutions that clean, disinfect and store your lenses are available in two main types: multi-purpose solutions (MPS) and hydrogen peroxide-based solutions. Always clean and disinfect your lenses everyday with the lens care solution that best meets your needs.
MONTHLY REPLACEMENT CONTACT LENSES
That depends on the brand. AIR OPTIX® contact lenses are made of silicone hydrogel materials. The unique structure of these materials allows plenty of oxygen to flow through the contact lenses so they feel comfortable and breathable. TOTAL30® monthly replacement contact lenses are the first and only reusable lens to incorporate Water Gradient Technology.
Not all monthly replacement contact lenses can be worn overnight. Always ask your eye doctor if you might be a candidate for overnight wear of contact lenses.
Monthly replacement contact lenses are reusable contact lenses. After a month, you throw them away and replace with a fresh new pair. Some monthly replacement lenses are meant only to be worn during the day, while some have extended or overnight wear. Discuss with your eye doctor to determine what will work best for you personally.
Daily disposable contact lenses are single-use contact lenses. Simply put them in in the morning and throw them away at night before going to sleep. Monthly replacement contact lenses are reusable lenses that require you to take them out every night to clean, disinfect, and store with contact lens solution. They are thrown out after a month's use and start your next month with a fresh, new pair.
Monthly contact lens prices can vary, but AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® and TOTAL30® brand contact lenses from Alcon offer outstanding performance that is easy on your wallet.

No. Do not put contact lens care cleaning and disinfecting solution directly into your eyes. Always follow the instructions for your contact lens care cleaning and disinfecting solution. To re-wet your contact lenses once they are on your eyes, we recommend using OPTI-FREE® Rewetting Drops or Systane® Contacts Rewetting Eye Drops. Learn more about our contact lens solutions here.

Important information for AIR OPTIX® NIGHT & DAY® AQUA (lotrafilcon A) contact lenses: Indicated for vision correction for daily wear (worn only while awake) or extended wear (worn while awake and asleep) for up to 30 nights. Relevant Warnings: A corneal ulcer may develop rapidly and cause eye pain, redness or blurry vision as it progresses. If left untreated, a scar, and in rare cases loss of vision, may result. The risk of serious problems is greater for extended wear vs. daily wear and smoking increases this risk. A one-year post-market study found 0.18% (18 out of 10,000) of wearers developed a severe corneal infection, with 0.04% (4 out of 10,000) of wearers experiencing a permanent reduction in vision by two or more rows of letters on an eye chart. Relevant Precautions: Not everyone can wear for 30 nights. Approximately 80% of wearers can wear the lenses for extended wear. About two-thirds of wearers achieve the full 30 nights continuous wear. Side Effects: In clinical trials, approximately 3-5% of wearers experience at least one episode of infiltrative keratitis, a localized inflammation of the cornea which may be accompanied by mild to severe pain and may require the use of antibiotic eye drops for up to one week. Other less serious side effects were conjunctivitis, lid irritation or lens discomfort including dryness, mild burning or stinging. Contraindications: Contact lenses should not be worn if you have: eye infection or inflammation (redness and/or swelling); eye disease, injury or dryness that interferes with contact lens wear; systemic disease that may be affected by or impact lens wear; certain allergic conditions or using certain medications (ex. some eye medications). Additional Information: Lenses should be replaced every month. If removed before then, lenses should be cleaned and disinfected before wearing again. Always follow the eye care professional’s recommended lens wear, care and replacement schedule. If you have questions, ask your eye care professional or call (800)-875-3001 or go to airoptix.com.
