Weekly Contact Lenses
The Weekly contact lenses, which are also called biweekly Contact Lenses or 2-week Contact Lenses, are soft contact lenses worn daily in a cycle that lasts from 7 to 14 days according to the lens type.
While the daily lenses are used only for one day, after which they are thrown away, the weekly lenses can be used more than once per day.
But not more than seven days in a row without replacement. They should be removed at night and cleaned.
Bi-weekly disposable contact lenses represent a true compromise between daily disposable and monthly lenses because they are less expensive on a per lens basis than dailies but require more frequent replacement than monthly lenses.
Key Benefits:
● Moisture that actually lasts. Hydraclear Plus technology keeps lenses hydrated well past the first few hours, so comfort doesn't fade by evening.
● The middle ground that makes sense. Replaced every one to two weeks, these lenses stay fresher than monthly wear without the ongoing cost of daily disposables.
● Built to let your eyes breathe. The silicone hydrogel material allows oxygen to reach the cornea, which matters more the longer you're in the lenses.
● Some protection built in. Many versions include UV-blocking properties, adding a layer of defense for time spent outdoors.
● Steady performance, not just on day one. The lens is engineered to hold its shape and clarity reliably across the full wear cycle, not just when it's brand new.
Who Should Wear Weekly Contact Lenses?
● Wearers who want a fresher feel than monthlies offer, without the ongoing cost of daily replacement
● Athletes and active individuals who need comfort that holds up through movement and long days
● Those with mild dryness who benefit from added moisture-retention in the lens material
● Anyone drawn to a middle-ground replacement schedule — not as frequent as dailies, not as long as monthlies
● Wearers moving away from monthly lenses toward a routine with more frequent, healthier replacement
Frequently Asked Questions
They are used daily for 14 days at the most, taken out nightly, and then thrown away after which another set is inserted. These represent a good compromise between the low cost of monthly lenses and the reduced formation of protein and bacterial buildup found with extended wear.
Weekly disposable lenses are meant to be changed after every two weeks, starting from the day that they are first opened and worn, not the frequency with which they are worn in these two weeks. Weekly lenses should be taken out at night unless prescribed otherwise, and kept in the solution. It is not advisable to wear them beyond two weeks since this will increase the chances of infections.
yes. This is because of the increased frequency of changing weekly lenses compared to monthly lenses. As such, the accumulation of proteins and deposits is minimal. This implies greater levels of comfort and moisture. The most comfortable option would be daily disposable lenses due to their fresh nature with each change. However, individual differences exist.
Yes, 5 minutes of resting time with closed eyes is safe for the eyes and even helps to moisturize them. Still, optometrists advise taking off your lenses if you are going to take a long time because with closed eyes, there is a limited oxygen supply to the cornea.
