Exclamation Daysoft contact lenses

Has anyone ever use these?
The wife wants to get some new daily contacts and she rather not pay a fortune for them. She has previously gone with specsavers ( ouch lol ).
Any knowledge would be appreciated

it's entirely her choice but i probably wouldn't cheap out on something you're going to be shoving in your eyes

try www.contactlenses.co.uk for cheaper lenses, if she's changing brand i think she needs to have them fitted by a lens practitioner, as different brands have different diameters and base curves, if they don't fit properly they'll be uncomfortable and could end up causing damage to her eyes, you only get one set

I use Specsavers. The Daily Throw aways- bog standard. As I wanted cheap!
However, my eyes dry out continuously from these, I'm always putting extra comfort drops in- and I'm about to go shopping for new ones that stay moist for a lot longer.

So if anyone has any advice on better ones, I'd love to listen!

If you match the Base Curve and Diameter values to your current lenses you shouldn't have a problem with fitting (8.6bcor and 14.4mm for example). Your eyes are the same size now as the day you were born.... However the lens may not be as comfortable for a number of other reasons: water content, material, edge design etc hence going to a practitioner gives you the flexibility to try different brands... also, if its been a while, an eye examination is advisable.

Tricky - Try a higher water content design, something around 60-70% and/or a silicon hydragel material.
