When I checked the actual lenses it says on the package "Freshlook One-day contact lenses". And I was like, how come you can use it for almost a year when it says ONE-DAY?! And she said as long as you take good care of your lenses, clean and make sure it is always soaked in the solution makes the lenses last up to a year. And it is much cheaper than the lenses I saw on the mall that lasts up to 3 months, as what the doctor told me.
So my question is. How long can I use the Freshlook One-Day? And is it true that soaking it in the solution always and cleaning as often can make it last?
I haven't tried on any contact lenses yet so i'm still new to this. Thanks!  |
Somewhere on this website, someone made a clever analogy. They compared daily disposable contact lenses to paper plates. They're inexpensive be cause they're not made to be durable. You use a paper plate once, and it's dirty. You can't wash it because it's too flimsy and besides, they're like a penny each. Why go through the work of cleaning a paper plate when it only cost you a penny and you still have 99 left in the package?
Daily disposable contact lenses are inexpensive and can't really be cleaned. So if you try to clean a daily disposable
contact lens, you are actually breaking it down, not making it last longer.
Why don't people just wear contact lenses like they're supposed to?
I wonder if I can hire a skywriter . . . ?
It think this person who abuses FreshLook One Day disposable contact lenses should just stick to
glasses.
