Monthly lenses

What are monthly disposable lenses?

Monthly lenses are a popular choice for contact lens wearers and offer numerous advantages. At Optikplus you will find a large selection of monthly lenses in various pack sizes, visual acuities and from renowned brand manufacturers - and at good prices.

Advantages of monthly lenses

Monthly lenses are the most commonly used contact lenses and impress with their durable material and high wearing comfort. They are not only cheaper than weekly or daily lenses, but also offer a high degree of flexibility. They are replaced monthly, which allows for economical use and makes it easier to adapt quickly to changes in visual acuity.

Ideal for sport and leisure

Whether swimming, soccer, tennis or volleyball - contact lenses are the best choice for many leisure activities. Monthly lenses are easy to handle: Inserted in the morning with clean hands, they provide clear vision all day long and protect your glasses from possible damage during sports.

Flexibility and comfort

Once you have experienced the benefits of monthly lenses, you may want to wear this practical visual aid every day. Monthly lenses, which are designed for use over four weeks, offer the perfect solution. They lie directly on the eye and are therefore very comfortable to wear.

Switching from daily lenses to monthly lenses

Do you like wearing contact lenses and are considering switching from daily to monthly lenses? Here are some helpful tips and recommendations to make sure you make the right choice and feel completely comfortable.

Consultation with an optician or ophthalmologist

We recommend that you make an appointment with an optician or ophthalmologist. Your current visual acuity will be checked there and you will receive professional advice. Your individual visual needs will be taken into account to find the perfect monthly lens product for you. Even if you are happy with your current contact lenses, it makes sense to have an annual check-up.

Test lenses to get you started

After your contact lens fitting, you will usually receive test lenses. You can try these out at your leisure to make sure you get on well with them. It may take some time for your eyes to get used to the new monthly lenses. A slight foreign body sensation or slight dizziness are normal at first. However, if the discomfort does not subside, it is advisable to visit your doctor's surgery or optician again.

Comfortable to wear all day long

Monthly disposable lenses offer you a high level of comfort throughout the day, provided you pay attention to good hygiene and care. Make sure your hands are clean before inserting or removing the lenses. Regular cleaning and proper storage of the lenses are also important to avoid deposits and soiling that could irritate your eyes.

Breaks for your eyes

Your eyes should be given a break regularly, especially during intensive activities such as working on the computer. Look into the distance from time to time and allow your eyes to relax. This not only contributes to your well-being, but also supports the comfort of your monthly lenses.

How long can monthly lenses be used?

We offer a large selection of high-quality monthly lenses here. But how long do they actually last? You can find all the important information about the shelf life of monthly lenses here.

Packaged monthly lenses

As long as monthly lenses are packaged and stored according to the manufacturer's instructions, they will remain ready for use until the specified best-before date (BBD). Make sure to keep the packaging intact and store the lenses in a cool, dry place to ensure maximum shelf life.

Opened monthly lenses

As soon as the packaging is opened, the 30-day period of use of the monthly lenses begins - regardless of whether they are worn daily or not. This means that you should use the lenses within 30 days of opening to ensure optimum eye tolerance and hygiene.

Tips for storage and care

Careful care and correct storage are crucial for the long shelf life and high wearing comfort of your monthly disposable lenses:

- Store the lenses in a clean, disinfected contact lens case.
- Replace the storage solution regularly.
- Make sure your hands are clean before touching the lenses.

How to store monthly disposable lenses correctly?

Storing monthly disposable lenses correctly is crucial for their durability and your wearing comfort.

Soft monthly disposable lenses are stored in special contact lens cases. These containers usually have two small baskets that are labeled accordingly for the left and right eye. Make sure you always put the lenses in the correct basket to avoid confusion.

Hard monthly lenses

Hard monthly lenses, also known as rigid lenses, are stored differently. They are fixed in a container to retain their shape. This type of storage prevents the lenses from being damaged or losing their shape.

Important care instructions

Contact lens solution: Always use the recommended contact lens solution for your lens type. This liquid disinfects the lenses and keeps them moist.

Daily cleaning: Clean the contact lens case daily to remove deposits and bacteria. Rinse the container with fresh contact lens solution and allow it to air dry.

Change the liquid: Change the storage solution every day. Never use old or already used liquid, as this can contaminate the lenses and irritate your eyes.

Additional information on shelf life

Monthly disposable lenses may remain in the container for a maximum of 30 days, after which they should be disposed of. This also applies if the lenses are not worn daily. Following this rule will help to keep your eyes healthy and ensure that your lenses remain fresh and comfortable at all times.

Hard vs. soft monthly disposable lenses - which are the right choice?

The decision between hard and soft monthly disposable lenses depends on your personal preferences and the type of vision defect you have. Here is some information to help you make the right choice.

Soft monthly lenses

Soft monthly lenses are particularly popular due to their flexible material. They adapt perfectly to the shape of the eye, which shortens the familiarization period and offers a comfortable wearing experience for many users. These lenses are ideal for everyday wear and offer a high level of comfort, even when worn for long periods.

Hard monthly lenses

Hard monthly disposable lenses, also known as rigid lenses, also offer numerous advantages. They float on the tear film, which provides the cornea with a better supply of nutrients and oxygen. This can make them more comfortable to wear in the long term. Hard lenses are also particularly durable and are often used as annual lenses. Hard contact lenses are often the best choice for severe astigmatism or high diopters, as they enable more precise correction.

Which lens is right for you?

If you are unsure which type of lens is right for you, we recommend visiting an optician or ophthalmologist. There you will receive professional advice and an individual fitting of your monthly lenses. These experts can check your prescription and present you with the best options for your needs.

Monthly lenses at Optikplus - the ideal choice for your everyday life

What are the differences between monthly lenses and other contact lenses?

Monthly disposable lenses are reusable lenses that you can wear for a whole month. They offer an excellent balance between comfort, practicality and cost.

Weekly lenses are also reusable lenses, but are only designed to be worn for two weeks. They offer a slightly more frequent change, which supports hygiene.

Daily lenses are disposable lenses that you can only wear for one day (maximum 15 hours). They are then disposed of. They are ideal for occasional wear and require no care.

Advantages of monthly disposable lenses compared to glasses or daily disposable lenses

Do you have defective vision and feel restricted in your everyday life by your glasses? Monthly lenses could be the perfect solution for you.

Flexibility and freedom: monthly lenses offer you the flexibility you need when you're on the move and active. Unlike glasses, they don't get in the way and are even suitable for swimming.

Comfort and aesthetics: If you don't like the feeling of wearing glasses or find them annoying for aesthetic reasons, monthly lenses are an excellent alternative. They sit directly on the eye and are virtually invisible.

Cost-effectiveness: monthly lenses are a cost-effective option for daily use. As they can be used for a month, they are more economical compared to daily lenses.

Suitability for everyday use: monthly lenses are particularly suitable if you want to do without glasses permanently or mainly. They offer a long-term solution for clear vision and a high level of comfort.

For those who only want to leave their glasses at home occasionally, daily disposable lenses are an interesting alternative. These disposable lenses require no care or storage as they are simply disposed of after one day.

At Optikplus, you will find a wide selection of monthly lenses that are perfectly tailored to your needs. Discover the freedom and comfort that monthly lenses offer and conveniently order online. Our high-quality monthly lenses are the ideal choice for clear vision and an active life without restrictions.
