Annual lenses

The perfect alternative to glasses

Annual lenses, also known as annual contact lenses, are ideal for people whose eyesight does not change frequently. They offer a permanent solution for clear vision and accompany you throughout the year, similar to glasses.

Why annual lenses?

Long-term use: Annual lenses are designed to last up to one year. This makes them an economical and sustainable alternative to glasses.

Comfort and flexibility: They offer the comfort of contact lenses with the durability of glasses, perfect for everyday use.

Versatility: In our online store, you will find both hard and soft annual lenses that are tailored to your individual needs.

Advantages of annual lenses

Economical: Once purchased, annual lenses offer a cost-effective solution as they only need to be replaced once a year.

Long-lasting comfort: With the right care, annual lenses remain comfortable all year round and offer stable vision correction.

Environmentally friendly: less waste due to the infrequent replacement of lenses compared to daily or monthly disposable lenses.

The perfect choice for experienced contact lens wearers

At Optikplus, we offer an extensive selection of hard and soft annual lenses that are suitable for different visual needs. But for whom are annual lenses actually the right choice?

Experienced contact lens wearers

Annual lenses are ideal for experienced contact lens wearers who are already used to wearing lenses. These lenses offer a cost-effective and long-lasting solution for daily use. If you already have experience with contact lenses and wear them regularly, annual lenses are an excellent choice.

Beginners should start small

For those wearing contact lenses for the first time, we recommend daily disposable lenses, weekly disposable lenses or monthly disposable lenses. These shorter duration lenses allow you to slowly get used to wearing contact lenses and find out which type of lens best suits your needs.

Suitable for all visual impairments

Our range at Optikplus includes both hard and soft annual lenses, so you can find the right product regardless of your visual impairment. Hard annual lenses are particularly durable and offer high oxygen permeability, while soft annual lenses are extremely comfortable to wear.

As the name suggests, annual lenses can be worn for up to one year. However, it is important to note that the lenses should be replaced after this time for hygienic reasons. Prolonged wear beyond the year can lead to a deterioration in lens quality and increase the risk of eye infections.

Hygiene and care

Caring for your annual lenses is crucial for their lifespan and the health of your eyes. Here are some important care tips:

Daily cleaning: Clean your annual lenses daily with the cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer to remove deposits and bacteria.

Correct storage: Store the lenses in a clean and disinfected container, which should be replaced regularly.

Regular checks: Check the lenses regularly for cracks or other damage. Damaged lenses must be replaced immediately to avoid injury and infection.

Safety precautions

Even though annual lenses are designed to last a long time, it is important to replace them immediately at the first sign of discomfort or visible damage. Wearing damaged lenses can lead to serious eye problems.

Monthly lenses or annual lenses - which contact lenses are right for you?

At Optikplus you will find both monthly and annual lenses, but which are the right choice for you? This depends on your personal needs and preferences.

Monthly lenses

Flexibility: Monthly lenses offer a high degree of flexibility as they are replaced after 30 days. This makes them ideal for people who want to change their lenses more frequently.

Care: The care requirements for monthly lenses are manageable and similar to those for annual lenses. It is important to clean them regularly and store them in a suitable contact lens solution.

Costs: Although monthly lenses are cheaper to buy individually, the costs can add up over the year.

Annual lenses

Cost savings: Calculated over a year, annual lenses are generally cheaper, especially if they are worn regularly.

Long-term use: Annual lenses are designed for long-term use and require careful care to ensure hygiene and comfort.

Care requirements: The care requirements for annual lenses are higher as they have to be kept hygienically perfect over a longer period of time. Regular cleaning and proper storage are essential.

Which lenses are the right choice for you?

For regular wearers: If you wear contact lenses every day, annual lenses could be a more cost-effective and practical choice. They offer a long-lasting solution and are particularly suitable for experienced contact lens wearers.

For occasional wearers: If you only wear contact lenses occasionally or like to change lens types, monthly lenses may be a better choice. They offer more flexibility and require less long-term commitment.

Deciding whether monthly lenses or annual lenses suit you better depends on your specific requirements and lifestyle. At Optikplus, we offer a wide selection of both types of lenses to help you find the option that suits you best. Whether you opt for the flexibility of monthly lenses or the cost-effectiveness of annual lenses, you'll find high-quality products and the right care.

The correct storage of annual contact lenses

Annual contact lenses, like monthly lenses, require careful care and storage to ensure their longevity and hygiene. Here are some important tips for the correct handling and storage of your annual lenses.

Use of contact lens cases

Annual contact lenses should always be stored in special contact lens cases filled with a suitable cleaning solution. These containers keep the lenses moist and protect them from contamination.

Daily change of cleaning solution

Change the cleaning solution in your contact lens case every time before you put your lenses in. A fresh solution is crucial for proper cleaning and disinfection of the lenses. Avoid reusing the old solution as this can lead to a build-up of bacteria and debris.

Regular cleaning of the container

Clean your contact lens case regularly to ensure optimum hygiene. Rinse the container with the cleaning solution and allow it to air dry before using it again.

Wash your hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching or inserting your contact lenses.

Check for damage: Check your annual lenses regularly for cracks or other damage. Damaged lenses should be replaced immediately.

Storage: Store your contact lens cases in a clean and dry place to avoid contamination.
