I would like to express my sheer disappointment with the supposedly -2.25 replacement contact lenses for Aqua Comfort Plus Lenses. First of all I have been a contact lenses wearer for over 2 years. I know my prescription is -2.25 as I have used a number of different contact lense types which have all been suitable for wearing. However upon receiving Daysoft -2.25 contact lenses I find they are printed with -2.25 visions however they are NOT this vision at all. They are a lot stronger than... (read more)

I have been wearing contact lenses for around 25 years. I have used all sorts & makes of lenses. I swapped onto these at the advice of 'Martin's Money Tips' & have never looked back. I was a bit wary because they were so much cheaper than other brands but I have been using them for about 5 years now & have never had a problem. I wear my lenses for at least 15 hours a day & have never had an issue with comfort or anything. I also ring to get new lenses & pay over the phone the service... (read more)

For the money they are good. When I first put them in they felt a bit loose, however after blinking a few times they seemed to have adjusted. I wore them while driving and noticed they seem to dry out faster than my acuvue advance plus, and i had to put in drops this afternoon. After wearing them all day and applying drops only once i cant even tell they are in and my eyes feel pretty good. I do feel like they could hold moisture better. Good value for the money. I would recommend to my... (read more)

I've been wearing contacts for 20 years. I've worn all kinds. I recently discovered day soft and decided to try them because the price is unbeatable. I think they're great. My eyes do seem to dry out a little faster than with Oasys or similar brands, but for this price, I'll just invest is some drops! I do not recommend wearing them longer than just 1 day. You can't really get away with that like you can with other brands, but it's not good for your eyes anyway. Also, my husband is... (read more)

I am an Optometrist and have seen this lens on my patients eyes. The last patient had such a poor fit with this contact that it caused a corneal abrasion on both of her eyes. She lost vision and was in extreme pain! I would NEVER recommend this lens to any of my patients. Poor quality, poor fit, poor vision. I wouldn't put this contact on my eyes if you paid me!!!

As an Optometrist, with over 30 years experience of contact lens practice, and Director of Professional Services at Daysoft Limited the manufacturer of Daysoft lenses I was very disappointed to see the review above apparently from a fellow Optometrist as they will know that the symptoms and what they describe will come from a number of factors including how lenses are worn, the wearing environment and the eyes of the person using them rather than simply blaming lens fitting.
To anonymously denigrate a product, which it appears they do not sell, rather than contact the manufacturer if they are concerned that they have identified a problem is not the approach I would expect from a Professional person.
Daysoft daily disposable contact lenses are manufactured in Scotland and fitted and supplied by Independent Opticians and Optical Chains throughout the UK and Europe and other countries with worldwide sales of over 370 million lenses.
Wearer feedback on Daysoft lenses can be readily found on the website of Daysoft’s major internet distributor at http://www.daysoftcontactlenses.com/GB/CountryHomepage.aspx
As I cannot directly contact the Optometrist who posted the review below I invite them to contact me at professionalcare@daysoftECP.com and I will be happy to assist them.

Why was a patient I fitted with silicone dailies so she could wear them f/t told by day soft that your contact lenses were equivalent when she bought them from you? She came in for an aftercare a year after wearing them. She had severe spk, neovascularisation & the lenses were a poor fit. These lenses should NOT be handed out without the fit being checked & regular aftercares to make sure they're not affecting patients eyes in any way. A wear time should at least have been advised. Your putting the health of patients eyes at risk!!!!!

Ordered Daysoft 72's on Tuesday evening and received them this morning, so good delivery speed. I am very happy with the lenses and I showed these lenses to my optician and he said they should be fine for me to wear. However these lenses fall off the finger tip very easily, whereas my Air Optix I could hold them vertically on my finger tip and they would stay attached. No other flaws and can't really complain for the price. (read more)

totally agree with the floppy comment (Air Optrix Vs Daysoft) I find the best way to fit a daysoft lens is to place a small mirror flat on a table and look down with my face horizontal.

I have just recently started wearing lenses and was kind of put off by the monthly costs from my optitian (£16 for 10 pairs of acuvue moist a month!) so I decided to have a look online to see if I could get them cheaper anywhere else and came across the daysoft site.
The costs almost seemed too good to be true and initially I was a bit dubious about buying them but after reading the reviews I thought it was worth giving them a try.

Got the 72`s
They are harder to put in than my usual soflens , and not being tinted makes them harder to see.
Once in, they were actually more comfortable.
They seem to be a little smaller than my usual lenses, but this perhaps makes them more comfy.
All in all, good value for money.
Four stars as the lack of tint can make it harder to see if they are in.
At under £10 delivered for both eyes they were worth a punt.
One other thing of note, I have a mild astigmatism in both eyes.

I have been using these contact lenses for a few months now and I must say that taking everything into account this is a good buy. Yes they do dry out a little after some 12+ hours wearing and they can be difficult to get out of the packaging and apply to the eye despite my 18 years of wearing contact lenses but the price and speed of delivery is great. I have a months reserve to call on when required, a good option for those who are very busy like myself. (read more)
