How much do daily disposables cost?

The cost of daily disposable soft contact lenses varies depending on what type of contact lenses are right for you. On average, Focus DAILIES cost less than a pound a day - and since they are disposable, you'll never buy expensive cleaners or solutions.

Do Focus DAILIES require any cleaning or disinfection?

No. Focus DAILIES are daily disposables. They are replaced every morning and thrown away at night. During the day, no kind of cleaning or lens care is required.

Can I wear soft contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Today most cases of astigmatism can easily be corrected with soft contacts, so-called "toric" lenses. Unlike "spherical" lenses, toric contact lenses have to meet special needs. Corresponding to the different curvatures in the cornea of an astigmatic eye, toric lenses have two different powers in the lens to provide best visual acuity. In addition, Focus DAILIES TORIC lenses provide high wearing comfort during the whole day.

What material are Focus DAILIES lenses based on?

Focus DAILIES are made from Nelfilcon material, which incorporates Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), an ocular lubricant commonly used in comfort eye drops.

Which type of contact lens is best for me?

Soft contact lens options differ according to lifestyle, eye shape and vision correction. There are many varieties of Focus DAILIES soft contact lenses, but an optician can help you decide which lenses are right for you. Use our Optician Finder to find an optician near you.

Why is it important to get regular eye exams?

Periodic eye examinations are an important part of routine preventive health care. Many eye and vision conditions present no obvious symptoms and individuals are therefore often unaware that a problem exists. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for maintaining good vision and preventing permanent vision loss in some cases.

Is it OK to play sports while wearing contact lenses?

Yes. Wearing contact lenses for sports is a more flexible and stable form of eye correction than spectacles. Contact lenses may improve your peripheral vision and increase your performance and you won't have to worry about your glasses falling off or breaking. Your optician can help you determine the best type of contact lenses based on your particular sport or activity. Some sports may also required eye protection spectacles.

How old do you have to be to wear contact lenses?

Even pre-teens as young as 11 were shown to be responsible enough for contacts, according to a 3-year study by a leading school of Optometry. This age group demonstrated confidence in their ability to follow optician's instructions on wearing and caring for contact lenses.

Are contact lenses safe?

When used as directed, most people can wear contact lenses without complications. Successful wearing of contact lens depends on the instructions you get from your optician. Over time, your eyes can change, often without apparent symptoms or warning signs, and this may put you at risk of developing complications. To maintain healthy eyes and the most efficient and comfortable vision possible, you need quality eye care on a regular basis. Only your eye care practitioner is educated, trained, and licensed to examine, diagnose, and provide treatment for your eyes and prescribe contact lenses.
