Summer often brings exciting changes to our daily routines, from holidays and weekends away to spending more time outdoors enjoying festivals, sports, and al fresco dining. Whilst glasses remain a brilliant option for vision correction, many people find that daily contact lenses offer greater freedom during the warmer months, especially when travelling or taking part in outdoor activities. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach, exploring a new city, or dancing at a festival, contact lenses can help you enjoy every moment with clear, unobstructed vision.
Why can contact lenses be useful in summer?
When the sun is shining and adventure calls, contact lenses provide practical benefits that make them ideal for active summer days. They offer a wide field of view without spectacle frames getting in the way, and there’s no risk of glasses slipping during movement or lenses fogging up when you move between different temperatures.
One of the biggest advantages is the ability to wear ordinary, non-prescription sunglasses, giving you far more choice when it comes to style and UV protection. Contact lenses provide greater convenience during sightseeing, outdoor dining, festivals, and many sports activities. From relaxing on the beach to exploring a bustling market, the benefits of contact lenses become clear, though it’s important to remember that contact lenses should always be removed before swimming.
What makes daily disposable contact lenses convenient?
Disposable contact lenses are particularly well-suited to summer lifestyles, offering unparalleled convenience for busy days. With daily contact lenses, you enjoy fresh, clean lenses every single day with absolutely no need for cleaning or storing. This makes them perfect for holidays and weekends away, as there’s no need to pack contact lens solution or cases in your luggage.
They’re comfortable to wear throughout the day, with a fresh pair each morning ensuring optimal hygiene. At the end of the day, you simply dispose of them, making them ideal for occasional wear as well as everyday use. Many contact lens wearers find that switching to dailies for summer holidays provides extra peace of mind.
Which daily contact lenses are right for you?
There are many different types of contact lenses available to suit different prescriptions and lifestyles. If you have astigmatism, toric daily contact lenses are specially designed to provide crisp, stable vision. Those who need help with both near and distance vision can opt for multifocal contact lenses, which offer clear vision at all distances. Many modern daily lenses also feature enhanced moisture retention technology. We always recommend choosing lenses that have been recommended by your optician.
How should you look after your eyes on summer days?
Looking after your eyes whilst wearing contact lenses during summer is straightforward:
- Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling lenses.
- Never reuse a daily disposable lens, and always remove contact lenses before swimming or showering, as water can harbour microorganisms that may cause eye infections.
- Carry backup glasses in case you need to remove your lenses during the day.
Do daily contact lenses need solution?
No, that’s one of the wonderful things about daily disposable lenses! Unlike monthly or two-weekly lenses, daily contact lenses don’t require contact lens solution for cleaning and storage. You simply wear them throughout the day and dispose of them before bed.
Can I wear daily contact lenses only on holiday?
Absolutely! Many people choose to wear daily contact lenses for astigmatism or standard prescriptions specifically for holidays and special occasions. Daily disposables are perfect for occasional wear because there’s no ongoing maintenance routine to keep up with.
Can I swim in contact lenses?
No, you should not swim whilst wearing contact lenses. Water can contain specific microorganisms that may become trapped between your contact lens and your eye, potentially causing serious infections. Always remove your lenses before any water-based activities.
