Daily Disposable contact lenses were introduced in 1987 by Johnson & Johnson (1 Day Acuvue) and were a revolution in how consumers wore contact lenses.

They were designed to be worn for just 1 day and then thrown out and replaced with a fresh pair.

Disposable contact lenses are now the most commonly prescribed contact lens - eye care practitioners now favour them because of there health and convenience benefits.

Can I wear Them?

Daily lenses now come in a wide variety of powers to suit most prescriptions. In addition you might be able to wear daily contact lenses if you have astigmatism, wear bifocals or even want to change the colour of your eyes with daily disposable coloured lenses!

Health Benefits

Many eye care professionals and contact lens wearers feel that this option offers the best of both worlds. It's convenient because there is no lens cleaning at all. It's healthy because there is no day-to-day lens deposit build up, and because there is no increased risk of eye problems due to sleeping in lenses.

How do they compare to Regular Contact Lenses?

It was always known by eye care practitioners that it was a good idea to replace lenses frequently. Various cleaning devices were used to try to keep traditional lenses clean and extend the useful life of the lens, which helped slow down the build up of deposits on the lenses that could irritate the eyes.

Then contact lens manufacturers developed new techniques to manufacture lenses in greater volume at low cost to a very high quality. Lenses began to be sold as monthly disposable and daily disposable, eliminating, with the daily lenses, the need to clean the lenses and store them overnight in soaking solutions.

Who Makes them?

Today there is quite range of daily contact lenses. They are produced by some well known and respected companies like Johnson & Johnson (1 day Avuvue), Bausch & Lomb (1 day Soflens), Cibavision (Focus Dailies), Daysoft UV and Biomedics 1 Day
