How Often Should You Replace Your Contact Lenses?

Wearing contact lenses is a great way to make sure you can see clearly in your day-to-day life. But it’s important to keep up with a replacement schedule for your contacts, depending on the type you have. At Vision Source Family Eye Care, our eye doctors in Brunswick, St. Marys, and Jesup, GA, provide helpful info on when it may be time to replace your contacts.

Has Your Vision Changed?

No matter what type of lenses you have, you’ll need to replace them if your prescription changes. If your vision has become worse, we’ll recommend getting new contacts with the updated prescription.

What Type of Contacts Do You Have?

We offer different types of contact lenses in St. Marys, Jesup, and Brunswick, GA, for different situations. The replacement schedule for these varies based on type.

Rigid Gas-Permeable Lenses

You can wear these contacts every day until your prescription changes or they need to be replaced for other reasons, such as damage or wear and tear.

Soft Contact Lenses

You may be able to keep using these daily for a set period of time, such as monthly or weekly, before replacing them. With regular care, some can be used for months or years.

Daily Disposable Contacts

You replace these with a new pair every day. But how often you need to get new sets depends on how many are included and other factors.
