Consumers Guide to Daily Disposable Contact Lenses Quality

What are the best Daily Contact Lenses to wear?

Please Note: This list is the viewpoint of this guide, and is not authoritative.

Analysing lens complaints with online contact companies concerning daily lenses and talking to contact lens practitioners we have got an overview on the quality of daily lenses from different manufacturers.

1 Day Acuvue - Johnson & Johnson

1 Day Acuvue by Johnson and Johnson is considered the best daily lens in terms of comfort and quality, but this is also the most expensive daily lens on the market. Good packaging. UV block included and inside out indicator. Easy handling.

1 Day Acuvue Moist

1 Day Acuvue Moist takes the existing 1 Day Acuvue material and adds a moisture rich ingredient and embed it in the lens. This creates a long - lasting silky smooth moisture cushion throughout the lens. Our staff have been wearing the first lenses launched and they say they do feel more comfortable than normal.

Focus Dailies - Cibavision

Considered to be the next best daily lens, but at a considerably better price. Good packaging and easy handling. Now also come with a moisture lock ingredient as standard.

Focus Dailies now come in an improved version with added moisture lock, which is meant to keep the lenses feeling comfortable throughout the day.

1 day Soflens - Bausch & Lomb

Handling more fiddly because 1 Day soflens packaging is not well designed. Lens does not hold shape so well on insertion. More customer complaints about reproducibility. About the same price to buy as Focus Dailies.

Daysoft UV - Provis

Provis is the only lens manufacturer which only makes daily disposable contact lenses.   Daysoft UV is one of the better priced lenses on the market.

However, the price differential is eroding as focus dailies are falling in price with increased competition. Packaging has improved significantly since it's launch.

They include 32 lenses per pack instead of the standard 30.

They were the first daily-disposable contact lens to incorporate UV inhibitor and are designed with a unique rounded edge for improved comfort.

Biomedics 1 Day - Coopervision

This  used to be made by Ocular Sciences but the company got bought out by Coopervision. This has made the lens widely available as Ocular Science had a restrictive supply policy so that the lenses could only be bought from independent opticians.

Sauflon 1 Day
