Ron Hamilton
Inventor of daily
disposable contact
lenses and Chairman
of daysoft
Ron Hamilton invented daily-disposable contact lenses and built the first laboratory
in the world dedicated to making them. When Bausch & Lomb (B&L), the biggest eye-care
company in the world, approached him for distribution rights he offered to sell
them the company and the patent rights.
Following his 5-year non-compete agreement he was very disappointed that the price
of daily-disposables made by B&L, CIBA, J&J and CooperVision remained so high that
many contact lenses wearers were still selecting lenses that need daily cleaning.
Aware that cleaning soft contact lenses often results in discomfort, eye-infections
and allergic reactions he decided to re-enter the market with an affordable, high-specification
daily-disposable contact lens capable of replacing other brands ... he named the lenses
'daysoft' with the promise to 'Switch & Save'.
No longer a dream, daysoft daily disposable contact lenses are sold around the world
at prices unbeatable by the competition and every day more and more contact lens
wearers are discovering the benefits of great comfort, convenience and healthier
eyes which daysoft lenses provide.
