These lenses are made materials that incorporate water, which makes them soft and flexible and allows oxygen to reach the cornea. 1Daily disposable lenses: Although generally more expensive, they carry a lower infection risk. Two week or monthly disposable lenses: for daily wear. 2Toric contact lenses: Correct moderate astigmatism. Bifocal contact lenses: can be helpful for patients that need reading and distance correction but may not be right for everyone.
