Optician presents a selection of the best single use daily disposable contact lenses

Menicon: Miru 1 Day Menicon Flat Pack

An innovative daily disposable lens, Miru 1day Menicon Flat Pack is said to offer hassle-free handling and comfortable wear. Featuring Smart Touch technology, its 1mm-thick packaging remains the slimmest in the world and, according to Menicon, perfect for wearers with busy lifestyles who value convenience and comfort while on-the-go.

The unique design ensures the wearer only touches the front surface of the lens, providing improved hygiene and reduced risk of contamination. The lens’ smooth low-friction surface is said to offer all-day comfort, locking in moisture and allowing rapid lens rehydration with every blink. Miru 1day Menicon Flat Pack is available in sphere, toric and multifocal options, and can be ordered via Menicon’s online ordering system where trial or stock lenses are available, along with specific deliveries for patients.


VTI: NaturalVue Enhanced 1-Day Multifocal

The NaturalVue Enhanced 1-Day Multifocal with TripleTear Lubrication technology was launched in the UK by distributor Positive Impact in January. The enhanced multifocal from Visioneering Technologies Inc. is CE mark-approved for presbyopia and myopia control. It features three comfort agents, including hyaluronic acid, and has a new ultra-tapered edge profile specifically created for optimal fit and comfort.

The lens is said to boast a unique, patented design with a rapidly increasing, highly aspheric power curve that creates extended depth of focus (EDOF) through a virtual aperture. The lens comes in powers from +4.00 to -12.25, with the advantage for accurate myopia management being the availability of 0.25D steps throughout the range. Another benefit, according to VTI, when it comes to fitting is that, although it is a multifocal, it is fitted like a single vision lens.


Ultravision: Seed 1dayPure EDOF

From pre-emmetropic to presbyopic, Ultravision says that the Seed 1dayPure EDOF contact lens can be used at any age or any stage of your patient’s visual development. Allowing for continuous clear vision over a wide range of distances, the product’s varying power profile is said to ensure visual performance is not dependent on pupil size or lens centration. Also said to deliver excellent results for visual stress, Seed 1dayPure EDOF is available in powers from +5.00 to -12.00DS and has three different depth of focuses, allowing you to cater to a wide range of patients. Each Seed 1dayPure EDOF pack contains 32 lenses and is only available through eye care professionals.

  • Safilens: Fusion Presbyo 1 day

    According to Safilens, Fusion Presbyo 1-day is the only disposable contact lens with an afocal design for reducing the effects of presbyopia. The lens design is said to give an impressive extended depth of focus to the wearer and allows clear images at all distances. The Fusion Presbyo 1-day lens benefits from the company’s fusion technology, which sees the synergistic actions of hyaluronic acid and tamarind seed polysaccharide normalise and keep the physiological relation between tear film and ocular surface stable. This is said to give wearers more natural, longer-lasting comfort than ever before.


    Johnson & Johnson Vision: Acuvue Oasys 1-Day

    Johnson & Johnson Vision says that Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe Technology is the daily disposable lens for patients’ demanding days. The company’s HydraLuxe technology features a unique tear-inspired design that mimics the natural properties of tears and helps to stabilise the tear film. This is said to provide exceptional comfort all day long and make vision clearer, brighter and sharper.


    Bausch + Lomb: Ultra One Day

    Bausch + Lomb Ultra One Day contact lenses feature kalifilcon A, a next generation contact lens material, and the company’s Advanced MoistureSeal technology that is said to deliver a highly wettable surface and excellent breathability for long-lasting and healthy lens wear.

    The company says that this moisture-rich environment enables new breakthrough ComfortFeel technology to take wearers to new levels of comfort. ComfortFeel technology releases comfort and eye health ingredients such as moisturisers/conditioners, osmoprotectants and electrolytes to help protect, enrich and stabilise the tear film. The two technologies are said to work synergistically to deliver outstanding comfort for a full 16 hours of wear and a stable and healthy ocular environment. Together with a complete lens design of high breathability, low modulus, easy handling, UV blocking and the company’s High Definition Optics, Ultra One Day is said to meet the demands of today’s contact lens wearer.
