Further Optical Advice
What is the difference between Focus Dailies and AquaComfort Plus?
Dailies AquaComfort Plus is characterised by more moisture when compared to Focus Dailies All Day Comfort. It also has a slightly larger base curve and diameter.
Be sure to read through a reputable Alcon Dailies AquaComfort Plus review before committing to your prescription. If you have any concerns, please bring the issue up with your optician.
How long can you wear Dailies AquaComfort Plus?
These daily contacts are not designed for overnight wear and must be disposed of after one day of use. You cannot sleep in Alcon Dailies AquaComfort Plus.
Do Dailies AquaComfort Plus have UV protection?
Unfortunately, these daily wear lenses do not have UV protection. When you buy Dailies AquaComfort Plus, always be sure to compare the lens specifications to the lenses cited on your prescription.
Are Dailies AquaComfort Plus good for everyone?
Dailies AquaComfort Plus contact lenses contain many features to increase comfort during wear. The lens contains the blink-activated moisturising agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) - commonly added to eye drops. In addition, the lens contains Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a water-soluble synthetic polymer that contains water-loving (hydrophilic) properties to improve moisture. PVA also helps to improve visual clarity and the comfort of your eyes by maintaining your tear film throughout the day.
Hygiene and comfort are a huge benefit when you choose these convenient daily disposable lenses. You won’t have to bother with a complex contact lens cleaning routine, simply apply a fresh and clean pair of lenses each morning. Before applying, make sure to ask your optician for your recommended wearing time.
If your prescription is suitable, cheap Dailies AquaComfort Plus are available online in multipack sizes. While it is a relatively affordable daily contact lens and offers incredible comfort for its price point, it is still a daily lens, making it more expensive than monthly or two weekly modality lenses.
Are Dailies AquaComfort Plus silicone hydrogel lenses?
Daily AquaComfort Plus lenses are not made from a silicone hydrogel lens material, which may be less attractive to some. Some lens wearers who have been advised that they need a silicone hydrogel contact lens may require a higher oxygen permeability for their chosen contact lens such as Clariti 1 Day or comfi prest 1 Day (5 pack).
