 Who we sell to ...  Daysoft contact lenses are sold through UK Independent Opticians, European Multiples and via the Internet in most countries.

Daysoft.com  sales.   Over 1,000 orders are sent every day and 1,000 new wearers join us every week. Over 450 million of our lenses have been sold.  We have unique customer wearing-experience data-collection systems ensuring our lenses provide highly competitive performance at the most affordable price compared to major producers such and J&J (Acuvue) Alcon (CIBA), Bausch & Lomb (Sauflon) and CooperVision.

Oxygen-flow & Eye-comfort.  Contact lens design is a balance of numerous factors some of which can 'oppose' one another.  For example; a material which gives very high oxygen flow (Dk transmissibility) has a higher modulus (ie are 'harder') so is less comfortable.   High oxygen flow does not equal better comfort but soft material generally does.  Oxygen flow in a hydrogel is through the water.  The water is suspended in a very soft plastic 'net' so, as long as the lens is mid-water (eg 55% +)  the oxygen flow is sufficient to maintain a healthy eye for daily-wear.  It is factual physics and water is never 'old-technology'.   We do not recommend so called Extended Wear regardless of the material used

Art and Science.    The art of lens design is to balance or optimise the many factors so the lens performs well in different eyes and in a range of environments eg airconditioned or very, dry or very moist, in bright or in dull light ... to name but a few.  Even someone's general health at any one time can change the wearing experience.

Only daily-disposables.  Billions of lenses made to my designs have been sold around the world with most made using processes I also developed so I do feel that I have some first-hand exposure in finding the 'optimum' combination of design factors.  My fundamental principle is that only daily-disposable lenses have the repeated integrity of the design ... a cleaned lens is NOT the original design and a lens retained in the eye over-night is NOT the original design ... both would fail the final QA checks.  'Wear for a day then throw away' ie daily-disposability is the essential 'modality' if the design parameters are to be consistently experienced.

Silicone Hydrogel ... the facts. Tens of millions of $/£ were spent to create a super material which could be worn continuously for days or even weeks.  Lenses made of this material and worn this way have essentially failed due to other problems in the eye.  So what to do with the material and to recover the cost of its development ... sell it as a super-charged daily-disposable at an inflated price and claim it supplies 4 or 5 times more oxygen than the eye needs ... think about it !!  SiH does not equate to higher comfort ... which is what most wearers want after the eye is being supplied with sufficient oxygen ... which daysoft(R) formulations do.

Comfort by design.  Comfort itself is a combination of factors including edge-shape.  Daysoft lenses, unlike any other daily-disposable has a uniquely rounded edge giving easy travel of the eye-lid over the lens during blinking.

daysoft's design philosophy.   My design specification priority therefore is: safest modality (daily-disposable), sufficient daily oxygen (Dk 20+) and greatest comfort (soft, flexible, elastic materials which drape easily over the eye ... such as daysoft formulated hydrogels).  Our manufacturing priorities are high levels of repeatability, high integrity of the lens shape with blemish-free surfaces and edges, packed in a manner to use the least amount of packaging material (greener).

The Internet for very low-cost distribution.   For internet delivery we have a unique slim-line pack which slips easily through the letter box and qualifies for the lower postal rates.  Good design and manufacturing performance for excellent visual acuity, adequate oxygen flow, and awareness-free comfort  made and delivered using the least materials in letter-box friendly sizing.

Thank you for being a customer or considering buying our lenses.

Kind regards
