Which statement about monthly disposable lenses is true regarding extended wear?

• A. Some approval for extended wear
• B. Not approved for extended wear
• C. Only for daily wear
• D. Not safe for extended wear

Answer: (A)

Some monthly disposable lenses have FDA labeling that allows extended wear, meaning you can wear them for a longer period than daily wear, sometimes including overnight use, as long as you follow the product’s specific labeling and the clinician’s instructions. That’s why this statement is true: there is indeed approval for extended wear with certain monthly lenses. Not all monthly lenses are approved for extended wear, and when a lens isn’t labeled for extended wear, it should be worn only as directed for daily use. The key takeaway is that extended wear eligibility depends on the particular lens product and the clinician’s guidance, not on all monthly lenses having extended-wear approval.
