Comfort

Clariti 1 Day

The added oxygen flow can make a difference, especially if you wear lenses for longer hours or notice dryness toward the end of the day.

Biotrue ONEday

Biotrue ONEday for Astigmatism focuses more on moisture. With a higher water content, it often feels soft and hydrated right from the start.

For some wearers, this can translate to a very comfortable initial feel, especially in shorter wear periods.

Materials

One of the main differences between these lenses is the materials they uses.

Everyone’s eyes are different, so no lens is particularly “better,” it just depends on your eyes and preferences.

That said, contact lenses do not cover the entire eye, so sunglasses are still recommended for full protection.
