Focus Dailies Contacts Discontinued
Recently a lot of contacts are being discontinued, and unfortunately Focus Dailies is one of them. This popular product has been around for over a decade, and will soon go the way of the walkman and the car phone.
Why are Focus Dailies being discontinued?
All the major contact lens manufacturers are dealing with a lot of supply chain issues right. They cannot get enough raw materials, so they are all facing production delays. Alcon, the manufacturer of Focus Dailies, has decided to cut less popular products to help ease supply chain issues. Since Focus Contacts have been out for over a decade, they are on the chopping block.

Focus Dailies will be discontinued on September 29th, 2023. We recommend stocking up on lenses before that date so you ensure you have your prescription available. Here are the best prices on Focus Daily Contacts.
What is replacing Focus Dailies?
The manufacturer recommends replacing Focus contacts with one of their other daily contact brands: Dailies AquaComfort Plus, Precision1, or Dailies Total1. The main difference between these products is the material, but they also have slightly different parameters. All three of these new products allow much more oxygen through than Focus lenses.

Switching to a new contact lens will require a new doctor’s prescription. When you visit your eye doctor, they may suggest other dailies lens products for you.

Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor for multiple trials of different products until you find the right one for you.
