Daily disposable (DD) contact lenses first came to the market approximately 25 years ago and eye care professionals (ECPs) started prescribing silicone hydrogel (SiH) contact lenses, primarily for extended or continuous wear, approximately 20 years ago. It has now been over ten years since SiH DD contact lenses have been available, and while SiH materials are routinely prescribed by ECPs for reusable daily wear, hydrogel materials are still frequently selected for the DD modality of contact lens wear. This article reviews the evidence to support the benefits of both a DD modality and SiH materials and how patients' needs may be met with SiH DD contact lenses, with respect to clinical performance, health outcomes, satisfaction, compliance and convenience. Factors which may enable or constrain ECPs from prescribing SiH DD contact lenses, as opposed to hydrogel DD and reusable contact lenses, for more of their patients are discussed with the objective of providing ECPs with a greater understanding of the advantages that can be afforded by prescribing SiH DD contact lenses to both their new and existing contact lens wearers.
日抛型（DD）隐形眼镜大约在 25 年前首次推向市场，大约 20 年前，眼科保健专业人员（ECP）开始开硅水凝胶（SiH）隐形眼镜，主要用于延长或连续佩戴。现在，SiH DD 隐形眼镜已经问世超过十年，虽然 ECP 通常为可重复使用的日常佩戴开 SiH 材料，但水凝胶材料仍经常被选择用于 DD 隐形眼镜佩戴方式。本文回顾了支持 DD 方式和 SiH 材料的益处的证据，以及如何通过 SiH DD 隐形眼镜满足患者的需求，包括临床性能、健康结果、满意度、依从性和便利性。讨论了可能使 ECP 为更多患者开 SiH DD 隐形眼镜，而不是水凝胶 DD 和可重复使用隐形眼镜的因素，目的是让 ECP 更了解为新患者和现有隐形眼镜佩戴者开 SiH DD 隐形眼镜的优势。
