Daily disposable contact lenses can't be beat for convenience. Yet many patients have found daily disposables less comfortable than other lenses. But two new disposable brands on the market may change that.

I've been testing two brands of daily disposables -- Definition 1 Days (Optical Connection) and 2 Clear Dailies (Cooper Vision). The initial findings have been excellent: more comfortable, easier to handle, and less drying than the three current brands on the market (Vistacon's Acuvue Daily, CIBA's Focus Daily, and Bausch & Lomb's B&L Daily).

Based on these findings, I'm encouraging current daily disposable wearers to try these new brands. Please call us to make an appointment for a fitting.

Even if you're comfortable and happy with regular lenses, you may want to consider daily disposables for special occasions - say, for swimming, traveling, a bike ride or late night social event.
