Daysoft 72 Review

Having wore Johnson Johnson Acuvue Oasys contact lenses for the past 7 years or so I decided to switch to a daily lenses as I was getting tired of lugging about heavy bottles of solutions everywhere. On top of my Acuvue Oasys I usually had a few sets of Focus Dailies for festivals and other single night trips when carrying solutions was just a pain. I got the focus dailies Boots originally before switching to a cheaper store on-line.

I've never had a problem with the Focus Dailies, they are easy to use and very comfortable in the eye for long periods of time. Even up to 12 hours. However to switch over from Two Weekly lenses it was the price that was off putting. I decided to give the Daysoft lenses ago as I had read mixed reviews and for £10 delivered I figured why not.

First impressions,

The packaging is quite fiddly, it is probably a good idea to cut each individual lens blister with a pair of scissors as if you rip them by hand it is quite easy to end up opening the lens beside

There isn't an awful lot of solution in each blister either which isn't ideal as I usually like to get the lens as damp as possible as I find they sit better in my eyes if they do.

So I stuck the lens in my eyes and all seemed fine. The right eye normally takes a wee bit longer to settle that the left but its manageable. After about 4 hours of wear I normally find that these lenses dry out and I have to use them in conjunction with comfort eye drops.

The lenses aren't terrible but I find that they are not suitable for extended wear for over 5-6 hours and start to dry out. I have now found Focus Dailies for an online price of £15 delivered so for the extra £5 I am going to switch back as there is no question in my mind that Focus Dailies are a better product.

If you are just going to use Daysoft for occasional sports for a few hours I recommend them. Anything longer and I wouldn't bother.
