Edible Reno-Tahoe is the region’s premier food and lifestyle publication, celebrating the people and places that shape wellness and culture throughout Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe. In their Summer 2025 Health & Wellness 100 edition, Edible Reno-Tahoe featured NVision Optix, recognizing our commitment to cutting-edge eye care and personalized, luxury eyewear. Here’s what they had to say:
When choosing contact lenses, many people consider whether daily disposables or planned replacement lenses, such as biweekly or monthly options, are the best fit for their lifestyles. Daily disposables continue to gain popularity, and for good reason: They offer an unmatched combination of hygiene, convenience, and comfort, making them especially well suited for teenagers, first-time wearers, athletes, frequent travelers, and anyone with a hectic schedule.
One of the biggest advantages of daily disposables is that they eliminate the need for cleaning solutions, storage cases, and the daily maintenance routine required with longer-wear lenses. Since a fresh, sterile lens is used each day, the risk of eye infections caused by poor hygiene is significantly reduced. This makes daily lenses not only easier to manage but also safer for long-term eye health.
“Comfort is another key factor,” says Dr. Jacqueline Donahue, owner of NVision Optix in Reno. “In dry, high-desert climates like Reno, traditional lenses often leave eyes feeling irritated or fatigued by day’s end. Daily lenses are made from ultrathin, breathable materials designed to retain moisture, offering all-day hydration and comfort. Since they are discarded daily, they never have the chance to accumulate allergens or deposits, making them ideal for those with dry eyes, allergies, or sensitivity.”
Advancements in contact lens technology have also expanded the range of prescriptions available in daily disposables. Options now include lenses for astigmatism and multifocal needs, ensuring more patients can experience the benefits of daily wear. Although daily lenses may have a higher upfront cost, they often prove more economical over time. Most manufacturers offer significant rebates if you purchase a year’s supply. With fewer eye infections, no need for lens care products, and reduced risk of emergency doctor visits, the long-term value is clear.
Environmental impact is a common concern with single-use products, but there are solutions. NVision Optix proudly participates in Bausch + Lomb’s ONE by ONE Recycling Program, which allows patients to return used lenses and blister packs for proper recycling, helping reduce waste while maintaining the convenience of daily wear.
For those who prioritize eye health, simplicity, and consistent comfort, daily disposable lenses offer a modern, low-maintenance solution that fits seamlessly into today’s fast-paced lifestyles.
