Is MyDay a Good Daily Contact Lens for Wearers With Active or Outdoor Lifestyles?

Active wearers and those who spend significant time outdoors have specific needs: stable vision during physical activity, consistent comfort across long and variable days, and ideally UV protection. MyDay daily disposables are well suited to these demands.

No Maintenance, Maximum Flexibility

The daily disposable format means no cleaning routine, no case to carry, no solution to manage. For active wearers — playing sports, travelling, and spending long days outdoors — this simplicity is a meaningful advantage. Start with a fresh lens each morning and discard it each evening, no equipment required.

High Oxygen Performance During Extended Activity

Physical activity and outdoor time often mean longer and more demanding wear periods. MyDay's Stenfilcon A with Smart Silicone™ technology delivers a Dk/t of 100 — ensuring healthy corneal oxygenation throughout extended periods in physically demanding environments.

Consistent Comfort in Variable Conditions

Outdoor environments — wind, dust, pollen, dry air — can accelerate tear film evaporation. Aquaform® Technology creates natural, coating-free wettability throughout Stenfilcon A, maintaining consistent comfort as environmental conditions vary. This is particularly relevant for wearers whose days move between air-conditioned interiors and outdoor activity.

UV Protection and Sport Considerations

MyDay daily lenses offer Class 2 UV protection (~85% UVA / ~96% UVB) — meaningful UV defense for the cornea during outdoor activity. Note: contact lenses do not cover the entire eye — UV-protective sunglasses should still be worn during extended outdoor exposure.

For contact sports, consult your eye care professional about whether protective goggles are appropriate. Daily disposables like MyDay are preferable to reusable lenses for sport — if a lens is dislodged, simply discard and replace.
