Letter: The advantages of SiH daily disposables

I read with interest the recent letter on silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses (Ron Hamilton, Optician 18/1/19). Coopervision believes passionately in ocular health and the critical role of the eye care practitioner in offering patients the most appropriate contact lens products.

The latest research indicates consumers want to hear about options, are interested in wearing the healthiest lenses, and cost is no longer a barrier.1 These insights were echoed at our European Media Summit; it was clear patients may be more willing than ever to purchase products that best meet their needs.

Daily disposable lenses are widely accepted as an excellent modality, with increased prescriptions year after year.2 The growing availability of silicone hydrogel daily disposable lenses present ECPs with new and innovative products that offer even more opportunities to assist patients. They provide healthy, comfortable, highly breathable options to suit today’s lifestyles.
