"We" contact lens user have use a lot of type of contact lens, such as daily lens, bi-weekly lens, monthly lens and even yearly lens . But , all this list is for term of " how long that we can wear this lenses ? & What is the replacement time for the lens ? " The one that always and always got misunderstood is the phrase of " DAILY WEAR" that appear and printed , even on the Monthly lens packaging . The consumer , the user that buy the lenses and too overly observant with the packaging , rather than read more thoughly the specification of the lens ( if you are buying the lens online ) , seem always ask their seller , the Optometrist , the one that selling them the product with ther lens with " DAILY WEAR" term printed on it , " Are this is not monthly disposable ? and it daily use? "
