Which type of contacts?

Question

Are one-day contacts better/ cheaper than 2 week contacts?

Answer 1

no bi-weekly will be cheaper.

Answer 2

better?  yes probably for the people who fit in the limited parameters.

cheaper?  NO.

Answer 3

Daily wear contacts are generally easier and for some patients, safer as there is lower risk of contamination since they do not require cleaning. For people who need CLs for sports this is ideal. They are usually more expensive since you need to replace the lens every day. You are paying for convenience.
