Mossend Primary School, Lanarkshire.

On Friday, 28 November 2008, I was at Mossend Primary School.  This is the school my sisters and I attended 55 years ago and it was wonderful to be invited back to talk to the staff and pupils about business.  This week is Enterprise Week so the pupils had researched great inventors and gave a series of presentation with wonderfully prepared colour posters on the life and work of Sir Robert Watson-Watt, James Young Simpson, James Goodfellow, Charles Macintosh, Sir Alexander Fleming, John Boyd Dunlop, William Murdoch, Alexander Graham Bell, John Logie Baird, James watt and Kirkpatrick Macmillan.  Now, the observant reader will have noticed that these were all Scottish and the fact that this weekend is St Andrew's day gave an extra significance to the life story of these great inventors.  My talk on the development of my career and creation of daysoft contact lenses hardly came up to the shoulders of these world famous names but I had something of an edge over them in one respect ... I am still alive and have a little time to do some catch-up!

Among the 300 children quietly sitting on the hall floor I am convinced there will be the inventors of tomorrow and if my talk has encouraged just one of them to "dream of better and better ways to do things" I will have made a small contribution to the economics development of our great country.

The dedication of the Enterprise Teacher, Jean Murray, and the Head Teacher, Sharon McPherson, gave me great confidence that the pupils leaving my 'old' school, Mossend Primary, will have the education and the ambition to do great things for themselves and for others in the proud tradition of the inventors whose life stories they so ably presented today.  Many thanks for inviting me and best wishes to the inventors of tomorrow.

daysoft on Money saving Magpie

Moneymagpie is promoting daysoft.

Get cheaper contact lenses at Daysoft. You pay just £59.88 for a six month supply (with 32 pairs of daily disposable lenses every month).

In comparison, a six month supply of the cheapest daily lenses (with only 30 pairs a month) at Specsavers online costs £109.80 - so you could cut your costs by £49.92 or even more when you switch to Daysoft.

Some of the Moneymagpies tried out the Daysoft lenses for themselves and found that they were really comfortable to wear and simple to use. They also come in much smaller packaging, so you’re doing your bit for the environment as well as your pocket!

Thank you Moneymagpies from everyone at daysoft.

Easy Pack Opening Video

For a 'greener' world and to keep costs down the daysoft team has minimised the use of plastic and metalised foil used to pack its lenses ... the resulting slim-line pack also make delivery through the letter box very easy and is great for travel.  Opening the 'blister' is also dead easy once you know the 'knack' .  So now we have a Video online to show just how easy it is to open the 'blister' and to remove the lens just by using you finger tip.  The lady whose hands are shown is Elaine in the daysoft Accounts department and we all thank her for her patience as the Video was made.  To see it just go to www.daysoftlenses.com/easy-open-video   to see the Pack-with-the-Knack!  Regards, Ron

US Safety Review of Cleaning Solutions.

On 21 May 2008 it was reported that:  "Contact-lens cleaners face a US (FDA) safety review after similar products were recalled by Advanced Medical Optics Inc and Bausch & Lomb Inc because users suffered potentially blinding infections".   daysoft is the only contact lens company which does not make/sell contact lens cleaning solutions because of the risks they pose.  Daily Disposable contact lenses completely avoid the need for cleaning solutions.

Web site up-date

Today changes are being introducing to make navigation of the daysoft website simpler.  The message that 'daysoft replaces other brands for half the price' is now well established.   Detailed information on a sample of some 7 million daysoft lenses replacing Acuvue, Focus Dailies, B&L Soflens and Coopervision lenses demonstrate that the 'replacement' capability really works ... not just for replacing other daily-disposable brands but for Monthly Replacement brands also.
