Quick answer: Daily disposable colored contacts are used once and thrown away — most hygienic, no cleaning needed, but limited color options and higher cost per wear. Yearly (reusable) colored contacts last up to 12 months with daily cleaning — far more color choices, lower cost per wear, and the ability to try different looks over time. MimoTique carries reusable colored contacts that last up to 12 months, giving you 60+ shades to choose from at a fraction of daily-lens cost.

Which should you choose?
If you want the widest color selection, the best value, and lenses designed specifically for dark eyes — yearly reusable contacts are the clear winner. If you only wear colored contacts once or twice a year and don't want to deal with cleaning, dailies are convenient but limiting.
Frequently asked questions
How long do MimoTique colored contacts last?
Up to 12 months with proper daily care — fresh solution, clean hands, regular case replacement.
Are yearly contacts safe to reuse for 12 months?
Yes, when cleaned daily with multi-purpose contact lens solution. Replace them at the end of 12 months even if they still look fine — protein deposits build up over time.
Are daily colored contacts better for your eyes?
Not necessarily. Both are safe when used correctly. Dailies eliminate the risk of poor cleaning, but yearly lenses with proper care are equally safe and offer far more options.
