Top 10 contact lenses for 2023

It’s no surprise that 1 Day Acuvue Moist is one of our best-selling daily disposable contact lenses. They have become such a popular choice among contact lens wearers for their unique LACREON® technology which locks in moisture, keeping your eyes hydrated throughout the whole day. The lenses feel nice on your fingertip as well as on insertion, which comes as a noticeable comparison to other lenses on the market. The design is thin and easy to handle too. The features of this lens make it particularly good for sensitive eyes. They offer UV protection and will feel comfortable right up until the end of the day. And since it is a daily disposable option, you can benefit from fewer hygiene risks with less hassle. Surprisingly for a premium lens, the price is not at the most expensive end of the scale. This lens is also available as a toric lens for those with an astigmatism prescription under 1 Day Acuvue Moist For Astigmatism and as a multifocal option too under 1 Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal.

As our top selling product, comfi Daily Disposable is celebrated for being a cost effective, convenient and hygienic option for contact lens wearers. Because the wearing type is daily disposable, comfi Daily Disposable lenses significantly reduce the risk of infection as it eliminates the need to adhere to a rigid daily cleaning and storage routine. comfi’s daily option is also much cheaper than comparable lenses, but offers an astounding 58% water content. For the price point, you will not find a higher quality of lens. As such, comfi Daily Disposable is a reliable option for new wearers or those on a budget looking for a daily disposable.

For a monthly contact lens, Biofinity is by far the most popular. This lens uses a silicone hydrogel material base which is more suitable for longer wearing time as it allows a higher oxygen supply to reach the eye compared to other monthly soft contact lenses. Improving comfort further, Biofinity contact lenses feature a patented Aquaform® technology which helps the lenses retain moisture, even during periods of reduced blinking. As a result, Biofinity can provide a superior level of comfort and moisture. Owing to a subtle visibility tint, these lenses are easier to handle for more convenient insertion and removal. Offering the benefits to a wide cross-section of prescriptions with a wide power range, these lenses are also available for astigmatism as Biofinity Toric, for presbyopia as Biofinity Multifocal and with approval from your optician these lenses are appropriate to wear for up to a week as extended wear lenses.

As our own brand of silicone hydrogel contact lenses for daily wear and disposal, our comfi range demonstrates our commitment to achieving affordable eyecare for everyone. As a result comfi Purest 1 Day has become a hit amongst new and experienced contact lens wearers. The comfi Purest 1 Day formula uses modern technology to ensure high oxygen permeability and excellent moisture control which makes them perfect for longer wearing times. Plus, they offer UV protection as an added bonus, which is not available as a feature of all contact lenses. However, at a better price-point compared to other silicone hydrogel dailies these are a much more affordable option for those who suffer from dry-eyes but aren’t willing to pay a premium for the benefits that the lens material offers.

Acuvue Oasys 1-Day soft daily disposable contact lenses are unparalleled on comfort and wearability. This lens is able to provide such excellent comfort throughout the day because it uses unique tear-film stabilising HydraLuxe™ Technology which is exclusive to Acuvue Oasys. It coats the lenses with tear-like molecules that keep the lenses moist all day long. As a silicone hydrogel contact lens, these are among the most breathable lenses available on the market. So, at 121 Dk/t oxygen permeability, with tear-film stability features and UV protection, wearers often forget they are wearing any contact lenses at all.

It is a suitable lens for many prescriptions, available in a broad range of powers and parameters, including the toric version Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism. As it is a silicone hydrogel contact lens option with higher oxygen permeability, this brand is suitable for longer wearing times and is frequently recommended to patients who suffer from dry eye symptoms during a regular day of wear.
