Which is better Clariti 1 Day or Dailies AquaComfort Plus?
Clariti 1 Day are silicone hydrogel contact lenses which may be considered a more advanced lens than Dailies AquaComfort Plus due to their highly breathable material which allows up to six times more oxygen to pass through than other soft contact lenses. This means that they can be worn for longer hours. Nevertheless, both these lenses feature technologies to keep the eyes hydrated and moisturised all day long.
Dailies AquaComfort Plus may be considered a better option for new lens wearers as their visibility tint and inside out mark makes them easier to apply. They are also a more affordable option than Clariti 1 Day.
Both these daily disposables are a great choice for those with busy and active lifestyles, however, Clariti 1 Day are a better choice for those who spend lots of time outdoors as they feature UVA and UVB protection.
Before deciding which lens is best for you, we recommend speaking to your optician who will examine your eyes and consider lifestyle factors.
