How does Acuvue Moist compare to AquaComfort Plus?

1 Day Acuvue Moist and Dailies AquaComfort Plus are both hygienic and convenient contact lenses for those with busy and active lifestyle as they don’t require cleaning or storing. Simply put a fresh pair in when you wake up and discard them at the end of each day. These contact lenses provide optimal moisture and comfort throughout the during of wear but utilise different technologies and wetting agents to do so.

1 Day Acuvue Moist features LACREON Technology, a highly moisturising wetting agent that retains moisture on the surface of the lens. LACREON Technology ensures the lenses don't dry out and is inspired by the natural behaviour of tears to keep contact lenses hydrated and comfortable with a presence you'll barely feel.

Dailies AquaComfort Plus achieves a similar feeling with a combination of technologies including blink-activated moisture technology which releases moisture onto the eye every time you blink. LightStream technology ensures a thin lens design so that these contact lenses are super comfortable and easy to handle.

Which is better Acuvue Moist or AquaComfort Plus?

1 Day Acuvue Moist are considered a better lens option for those who spend lots of time outdoors as they feature UV blocker to protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays. They are also an excellent choice if you’re new to wearing contact lenses as their visibility tint and inside out mark makes them easy to handle and apply. They have a higher oxygen permeability than Dailies AquaComfort Plus for incredible breathability and comfort.

Nevertheless, AquaComfort Plus makes up for this with a higher water content, which creates an additional cushion of moisture and hydration, perfect for dry eyes. If you have a high prescription, you may find that Dailies AquaComfort Plus is a better lens for you as it comes in a higher power range. AquaComfort Plus is also a cheaper lens wear option.

Overall, both these lenses provide outstanding comfort and visual acuity, so before deciding, which is better for you, we recommend consulting with your optician.
