Annual lenses

As the name suggests, annual lenses can be worn for up to one year. They are specially made for people with particular visual defects such as severe astigmatism. The lenses cost around 60 euros.

Daily lenses

Daily disposable lenses are a good alternative for anyone who only wants to wear glasses occasionally - for example when doing sport or going out in the evening. These lenses should never be used more than once, so no care products are required. Their high water content makes them comfortable to wear and the healthiest for the eyes. However, this comfort does not come cheap: disposable lenses cost around 2.50 euros each.

Monthly lenses

Depending on the manufacturer, monthly lenses are used for two or four weeks, after which they are thrown away. They require care with a special liquid for contact lenses. They cost from 30 euros for six months.

Dimensionally stable lenses

Rigid lenses are smaller than soft lenses and float on the tear film. These hard lenses cannot adapt as flexibly to the eye, which is why they can feel like a foreign body. They should be replaced after two years. They cost around 70 euros.

Day and night lenses

Day and night lenses are oxygen-permeable and can therefore remain in the eye day and night. They need to be replaced weekly or monthly. Six pieces cost around 40 euros.
