Optimal vision correction - Frequency 55 Aspheric contact lenses are designed aspherically, and focus light more effectively than standard spherical lenses.

Light benefits - Thanks to the aspheric design, these lenses focus light into a focal point at the rear of your eye, rather than just into the general area, improving depth of focus and image resolution.

Monthly use - As long as you clean and store Frequency 55 Aspheric contact lenses correctly each night, you can wear them for up to 30 days.

Frequency 55 Aspheric contact lenses from CooperVision are a monthly-use contact lens that are convenient and comfortable for most wearers.
