Comparison
Daily or monthly contact lenses: which suits you?
Both correct your vision equally well. The difference is how long they last, how you look after them and how many days you'll wear them. At Ópticas del Sur, in Vecindario, we keep both in stock so you can try them, no appointment needed.

| How long they last | Worn for one day, then thrown away | Worn for a month, taken out every night |
| Care | None: a fresh pair every day | Clean them and store them in their case with solution every night |
| Hygiene | Always a brand-new, clean pair | Depends on cleaning them properly and changing the case and solution regularly |

When to choose daily lenses
- If you'll only wear them on some days: for sport, going out or the beach.
- If you're travelling and don't want to carry solution and cases.
- If you'd rather not have to clean them.
When to choose monthly lenses
- If you wear them almost every day.
- If you don't mind spending a moment each night cleaning and storing them.

Try them before you decide
The best thing is to try them. Walk in with no appointment: we do the trial fitting and the follow-up, and you choose with your eyes and your daily life in mind.
Always follow the instructions for your contact lenses: don't sleep in them unless they are designed for it, and don't wear them for longer than their stated lifespan.
