I was wrong. Now, I'll never go back to wearing my old contact lenses. I'm staying with Focus Dailies because after trying Focus Dailies once-daily disposable lenses I've decided that they're better for the following reasons:

1. The lenses are so soft and thin that you are hardly aware that you are wearing them. This is because they were manufactured using the Lightstream Laser Technology that made sure there are no rough edges on the lenses thereby making them so easy and comfortable to use. I can attest to the successful implementation of this technology.

2. They are so convenient to maintain that you are now free from your entire lens cleaning chores. You no longer have to worry or fret about always needing to have your soaking solutions on hand or taking your contact lens case wherever you go since Focus Dailies are sold in their own little containers, each with a little solution to soak the lenses in.

3. The risk of eye infections due to dirt, oil and protein build up is totally eliminated because you wear a fresh pair of lenses every day and dispose of the old ones before going to bed or anytime you want.

4. You are able to enjoy comfort and convenience at a very reasonable price since Focus Dailies are priced affordably and you are sure to get the best price possible as there are a lot of online pharmacies that list down the prices allowing you to make comparisons.

Aside from all these benefits, Ciba's Focus Dailies also makes sure that it is available to all contact lens users even those with special eye requirements. It has lenses for people suffering from astigmatism as well as for those wearing bifocals.

Moreover, focus dailies contact lenses are easy to procure as they are available online. I'll never go back to wearing my old lenses again. Not as long as Ciba's Focus Dailies is in the market.

At 43, I am still very active and I engage in sports a lot. However, because of my eye defect I have had to slow down. For one thing, it's hard to play squash when you are wearing eyeglasses. I used to be able to do this by wearing contact lenses but as I got older my eyes got worse and I've had to give up my contact lenses to start wearing bifocal prescription glasses.

That was a most depressing time for me as I missed doing all my usual sports activities. Then a friend of mine suggested I try Ciba's Focus Dailies. Curious, I tried to find out all I could about Focus Dailies and was so pleasantly surprised to discover that it had Focus Dailies Progressives for people like me who were suffering from this eye condition that required the use of bifocals.

Imagine how great that was for me to be able to wear contact lenses again and jump back to my usual sports activities. And that's not all. Apart from the comfort offered by its super thin and smooth surface – the product of Ciba Vision's Lightstream Technology manufacturing process – Focus Dailies Progressives also offered me the ultimate in convenience by liberating me from the hassles of lens care. At last, I could enjoy my soft lenses without the attendant soaking, wetting and cleaning solutions and the ever present contact lens case that I would wash every other day to remove the oil deposits from the lenses.

It feels great to be able to just throw away your used contact lenses and not worry about whether you were soaking it enough to remove all the dirt. It also feels wonderful to put on a fresh pair at the start of each morning and to know you are protected from eye infections and allergies because you simply throw away your used lenses and don't have to worry about protein build up.

Add the fact that Focus Dailies are reasonably priced and readily accessible online and you get what to me are the best daily disposable soft contact lenses in the market today. I'll never stop wearing them.

I can summarize and divide my reasons for endorsing Ciba's Focus Dailies into four groups.

First is comfort. Ciba's once-a-day disposable contact lenses are convenient to use and comfortable to wear. This is due to Ciba Vision's breakthrough Lightstream Technology manufacturing process which insures that Focus Dailies contact lenses have smooth, clean and precise edges.

Second is convenience. Focus Dailies offer the ultimate in convenience. With Focus Dailies, you don't need to use solutions to clean and disinfect your lenses because you simply throw them away after using them the whole day. In other words, because they are disposable, you get to wear a fresh pair of Focus Dailies lenses at the start of every day. This means no contact lens solutions to buy or keep. This is especially convenient for those who do a lot of traveling and thus would not want to carry around a lot of contact lens paraphernalia. With Focus Dailies, the hassle of cleaning your lenses every day is eliminated.

Third is health benefit. Ciba's Focus Dailies are safe because they eliminate the risk of eye infections that result from protein build up on the lenses. Since used lenses are thrown away and replaced with new ones every day, then the chances of protein build-up on your eyes is almost nil. For people who are prone to allergies, the concept of daily disposable contact lenses is a godsend.

Fourth is cost. Despite the notion that disposable contact lenses are more expensive than regular long-wearing ones, the cost of Focus Dailies remains friendly. To get the best price, order your Focus Dailies online.

Keeping it real, there's also a downside to Ciba's Focus Dailies — its overly thin surface and the way it gets so dry at the end of a long day's use. As my doctor explained, Focus Dailies lenses are not porous and since the eyes need oxygen to keep them moist, then covering the eyes for several hours without oxygen entering its surface causes it to feel dry and itchy. It also makes the lens difficult to remove.

In spite of this, I will never give up using my Focus Dailies daily disposable contact lenses.

He also forgets to clean his lenses and change his soaking solutions regularly. I always have to remind him that he has to do this in order to avoid getting his eyes infected from all the accumulated protein and oil deposits on his lenses.

Keeping his contact lenses clean has been a constant struggle for my son and me. Until the day we discovered Ciba’s Focus Dailies one-a-day disposable contact lenses. Focus Dailies are definitely the best and something my son and I are both happy to have in our life. Imagine, comfortable use and sharp clear vision minus the hassle of cleaning and soaking of lenses? What else can you ask for?

With Focus Dailies, my teenage son has been spared from the chore he hates so much. He also enjoys the fact that he can just toss away his used lenses after 14 to 16 hours of use and then wear a brand new pair the following morning.

The best thing is that there is Focus Dailies Toric specifically for people like my son who suffer from astigmatism. Now he no longer has to keep using his hard lenses. He can enjoy the comfort of soft lenses minus the hassle of tedious maintenance. Also, I’m glad that Focus Dailies are so thin because they do not endanger my son’s eyes whenever he forgets to remove them at night.

As a parent of three, cost is always a major consideration when buying anything for my children. I’m happy to note that Ciba’s Focus Dailies Toric is priced reasonably and come in packs of 30 or 90. To purchase, you simply go online and order.

I would recommend Focus Dailies to any parent whose children are currently using long-wearing contact lenses. The ease and convenience your child will enjoy are worth the cost.

Also, I suffer from allergies and hay fever that gives me teary eyes. Whenever I wear my old pair of long-wearing contact lenses, the tears cause blurriness and a film develops from the oil and dirt my tears carry. As a result, my vision gets impaired. With Focus Dailies contact lenses, I don’t have to worry about this because, any time I feel like it, I can throw away the lenses I’m wearing and immediately put in fresh ones for instant sharp and clear vision.

The reason I am recommending getting a trial pack first before deciding to buy a whole set of Focus Dailies contact lenses is that it also has a downside. This downside has to do with its flimsiness.

This flimsy quality of the lenses, while contributing to the ease and comfort of users, unfortunately also makes the lenses difficult to pick up with your fingers and place on your eyes. If, for some reason, you happen to drop the lens prior to inserting in your eye, chances are you would find it difficult to know whether you are putting the lens on the wrong way. Until of course your eye starts feeling itchy and your vision becomes distorted.

These problems I’ve encountered with the use of Focus Dailies contact lenses, however, are insignificant when viewed against the benefits they bring me. Nothing beats the feeling of a fresh new lens at the start of the day and the convenience of not having to deal with soaking solutions and the like.

Based on these alone, I would say Ciba’s Focus Dailies contact lenses are worth the try. But like I tell anyone who asks, it would be better if you go to their website first to try and get a trial pack. Not all people respond to things the same way so try Focus Dailies first before you actually go online to purchase a box.

I got so overwhelmed with all these warnings that I decided to stick to my hard lenses - the thought of ever enjoying the ease and comfort of soft lenses completely removed from my thoughts. Until the day she came back and happily announced that Ciba Vision had introduced Focus Dailies in the market. Boy has that one event changed my life!

Thank God for Ciba's Focus Dailies Toric, people like me who suffer from astigmatism can still enjoy the ease of wearing soft contact lenses AND not have to deal with the hassles of maintenance soft lens users are so accustomed to. Focus Dailies come in a pack of 30 and are stored in their own solution which keeps them wet and ready for use anytime. They have been manufactured using the breakthrough Lightstream Technology that makes the lenses so uniquely comfortable. Being a once-daily disposable lens also helps eliminate the likelihood of allergies and eye infections caused by build up of dirt in the eyes common among users of long-wearing lenses. The practice of throwing away the lens at the end of each day after wearing it for 14 to 16 hours is so comforting because it gives you the feeling of freshness knowing you'll start the next day wearing a fresh pair of lenses.

I've never gone back to my old hard lenses since I got hooked on Ciba's Focus Dailies Toric and I don't plan to any time soon.

First the good. I think it's wonderful that contact lens users like me finally have an alternative to the maintenance-heavy long-wearing contact lenses that are so hard to clean. The fact that this alternative provides the utmost in comfort makes it even more wonderful. And the best part of all is the price. Ciba's one-daily disposable soft contact lenses – Focus Dailies – are priced so reasonably, you almost won't believe they're that comfortable to wear.

Moreover, they provide an alternative even for those who suffer from astigmatism or who have to wear bifocals. They also help allergy-prone users to go through the day normally without having to keep removing their contact lenses to soak and clean them.

Life is so much simpler and convenient with Ciba's Focus Dailies contacts.

The problem with them though is they are too flimsy. This makes them so difficult to handle. Putting them on can be such a feat of one hand desperately trying to keep the eye open while the other gingerly trying to make sure the lens does not fall off in a crumpled bunch.

It's also very hard to tell which side is the correct side with these lenses. Until they're in your eye and you start having problems with your vision, you won't know. They're also so thin, which makes them so wonderful to use, but so difficult to remove at the end of the day.

In fact, at the end of 12 to 14 hours of wear, you start feeling the lens getting heavy on your eyes. It starts to feel so dry that it can take a while for you to be able to safely take it off.

These negative observations though stem from actual personal experiences with using the lens and are totally subjective. Another user may have a different experience.

Over-all though, having lenses that you can just toss out at the end of each long day's use so you can start with a fresh pair in the morning is so wonderful. Not to have to lug around bottles of maintaining solution makes it even greater. These features are significant to someone like me who does a lot of traveling for my work. If these mean something to you, too, as a lens user, then I definitely recommend Focus Dailies contacts. The negative opinions are just not enough to make you not want to take advantage of the good things that go with this type of contact lens.

Imagine therefore how pleasantly surprised I was to discover Ciba's Focus Dailies lenses and its wonderful benefits! These one-a-day disposable contact lenses were not only very comfortable, they were also maintenance-free! You wear a fresh set each morning as you set out to begin your day! And if the allergies start up within the day and make your lenses difficult to use, then take them off and replace them with a fresh pair. It's so simple and so convenient. Moreover, these lenses are reasonably priced so you do not have to feel bad each time you dispose of a pair. To be sure, you can even compare the prices online as several online pharmacies make these available to users. I actually bought mine for only $26.95 for a box of 30 and it's worth every dollar I spent.

What's more, Ciba's Focus Dailies lenses are so thin; they almost feel like they're not there. The comfort and ease of wearing them is marvelous and something I never imagined possible with contact lenses.

One thing negative I noticed about the product though is that it seems to dry up so fast that by the end of the day, your eyes feel irritated and itchy. According to some eye doctors this is due to the fact that the material used by Focus Dailies lenses does not allow for a lot of gas permeability. Simply put, this means oxygen is not able to penetrate the eyes and this leads to dryness and swelling. To avoid this and prevent any form of discomfort, I believe it's best to use your one-a-day for no more than 10 hours.

I don’t care what others say and complain about Focus Dailies lenses, I love them! Convenience and comfort at a reasonable price. This is what I get from using Focus Dailies and I feel blessed. I don’t need to go through any of those tedious rituals anymore ever.

Thank God for Ciba's Focus Dailies lenses!

I had been using regular long-wearing soft contact lenses before I decided to try out my first pack of Focus Dailies disposable lenses. It was a pack of 30 lenses. I tried a pair on and I was hooked for life! I rushed to the nearest pharmacy to purchase more since my work requires me to do a lot of traveling and I wanted to use these 1-day disposable lenses in my travels. I was glad about the fact that I no longer had to worry about lugging around wetting solutions, soaking solutions, contact lens cases, and so on in my trips.

The soft contact lenses were so thin I was hardly aware I had them on. The problem with this is it makes it quite difficult to handle the lens. For one thing, you could tear or scratch the surface of the lens if you're not careful. For another, the fact that it’s so thin makes it hard to put the lens on. In time, however, as you get more and more used to handling the ultra-thin lens, it becomes easier. Still, utmost care and attention are required when you put these on.

Another thing that makes it more practical to use Ciba's one-day disposable lens is that it is easier to procure. All you need to do is surf the Internet. There are several online pharmacies offering Ciba's Focus Dailies in packs of 30 or 90. This makes it more convenient for you to order your supply of focus dailies disposable contact lenses. Moreover, you are able to get the best price since you can compare the prices as they are presented by various online sources.

The fact that there are three available types of Focus Dailies lenses; namely, the regular type, the Focus Dailies Toric for people with astigmatism, and the Focus Dailies Progressives for people who wear bifocals simply proves to me Ciba's sincere desire to serve a wide-range of contact lens users.

For sheer comfort and convenience, I'd highly recommend the use of Ciba's one-day disposable contact lens. There's nothing like a maintenance-free pair of soft contact lenses. Believe me!

Now, I have not only done away with the tedious maintenance rituals for my lenses, I am also able to enjoy the ease of use that comes with wearing soft contact lenses.

Focus Dailies is a Godsend! Finally, I can do away with all the cleansing and soaking rituals. What’s more, I can forget about such things as soaking solutions, wetting solutions, contact lens cases, etc. I don’t even have to feel nervous about handling the lenses either in case I accidentally scratch or tear them because Focus Dailies come in a compact 90’s pack. Thus, replacements are all within reach!

With Focus Dailies, I don’t need to go through any of those tedious rituals anymore. Thank God, all I need is to pop a pair of those lenses in and voila! I’m ready to go. And they feel fresh and new all day!

Focus Dailies are Easy to Purchase

It’s so easy to purchase Focus Dailies lenses as these are available online. In fact, a lot of online pharmacies make available a comparative report listing the prices of Focus Dailies from various sources. This insures you are able to get the best price for these disposable lenses. For new lens users, there is a site that lists down all frequently asked questions regarding Focus Dailies.

All three available types of Focus Dailies lenses - Focus Dailies, Focus Dailies Toric and Focus Dailies Progressives are available online and are presented with accompanying lengthy descriptions that are helpful to those who. like me, are initially skeptical about the benefits of disposable contact lenses.

Overall, I might say that the switch from gas permeable to soft lenses was an easy one for me precisely because I switched to Focus Dailies. Normally, it’s harder to switch from hard lenses to soft lenses because the latter demands a lot from the user in terms of maintenance and care. This is not the case when you are switching to the maintenance-free Focus Dailies. Believe me, it’s worth it. I urge you to do the same.

Focus Dailies one-pair-a-day disposable soft contact lenses are the best contact lenses for people who suffer from allergies. The reason is simple. While regular contact lenses may start blurring by the end of the day as a result of increased mucus production and excessive tearing triggered by the allergy, Focus Dailies Daily Disposable Contact Lens remain well-lubricated all throughout the day. This condition plus the fact that the wearer puts on a fresh pair of lenses everyday eliminates the possibility of a build up of pollen and other similar allergens in the eye.

Focus Dailies Have No Recommended Accessories

The reason is obvious. Focus Dailies daily disposable contact lenses have no recommended accessories because they have completely done away with the pesky chores and elaborate cleaning procedures that previously were considered the downside of owning contact lenses, especially the soft kind.

No solutions needed. There are no solutions required for the use or maintenance of Focus Dailies daily disposable soft contact lenses nor any need for any special contact lens case or container. For one thing, Focus Dailies lenses contain AquaRelease which is an internal moisturizing agent that is released upon contact or each time the user blinks. This means better wearing comfort throughout the day and even at night unlike other soft lenses which tend to get blurry at the end of the day due to the heavy build up of natural oils, dirt and other irritants brought on by pollution.

There is no need for any soaking solution or any special container either as Focus Dailies come in a convenient pack of 30 or 90 and are manufactured with a visible tint to aid in the process of finding the correct lens. Moreover, Focus Dailies are made up of Nelfilcon A polymer with a water content of 69 percent insuring continued ease of wear and clear vision.

Astigmatism results when the cornea, the front surface of the eye, is not perfectly round. When the cornea's curvature is distorted, light focuses directly in the eye and causes blurry vision. This condition used to make it hard, if not virtually impossible, for sufferers to wear soft contact lenses.

Focus Dailies Toric, however, provides sufferers of this condition not only clear vision but also comfort and safety. The fact that users put on fresh contact lenses every morning makes their vision even clearer than when they wear regular eyeglasses. Moreover, it protects their eyes from further injuries by insuring that there are no build ups or deposits of injurious elements like protein and greasy dirt.

Focus Dailies Progressives provide the presbyopic wearers:

• An attractive alternative to bifocals that will allow them to see objects clearly whether these objects be nearby, far away or anywhere in between in terms of distance

• Clear and crisp vision without the need to use heavy and cumbersome eyeglasses

• Extremely comfortable wear without the need for attendant solutions or expensive cleaning procedures

• The wonderful feeling of wearing brand new soft contact lenses every day

Focus Dailies provide their wearers clear and crisp vision and the utmost comfort and safety. In fact they are so unbelievably comfortable to wear that you hardly realize you have them on. Moreover, the presence of an internal moisturizing agent insures that your eyes are lubricated all day long making contact lens wear not only comfortable and but also safe for your eyes as the fluid eliminates the possibility of dirt build up that can cause eye injuries.
