You don't have to clean daily disposables (like Hubble).

I mean, I'm sure some people are reusing daily disposables, but the idea is to just use and toss.

I switched to daily disposables a few years ago (out of ~15 years of contacts use) and I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I no longer have to spend like 4-5 minutes a day cleaning the lenses or throwing 2 week disposables 1 week into use due to protein buildup, and they no longer aggravate my allergies either.

People vary.

Extended wear disposables were so great for me when I switched many years ago. Protein buildup meant that even with cleaning contacts were uncomfortable by the time I had to replace them.

On the other hand I’ve never had an issue with 2 week extended wear.
