Spherical Contact Lenses

What Are Spherical Contact Lenses?

Unlike toric lenses (which correct astigmatism) or multifocal lenses (which address presbyopia), spherical lenses have the same corrective power across the whole lens. This uniform curvature gives them their name — the optical surface is a portion of a sphere. They're the classic, straightforward choice for anyone with standard myopia or hyperopia, and they're available in daily, fortnightly, and monthly replacement schedules to suit every lifestyle and wearing habit.

Our Spherical Contact Lens Range

We carry spherical lenses from every major manufacturer, giving you access to the full market from one trusted Australian retailer. Here's a guide to the brands and product families available in this collection:

Johnson & Johnson Acuvue

The Acuvue family covers a wide range of spherical options. 1 Day Acuvue Moist is one of the world's most popular daily lenses, featuring LACREON technology that keeps moisture locked in throughout the day. 1 Day Acuvue Oasys with HydraLuxe builds on this with advanced tear-infused technology for exceptional comfort during high-demand days — ideal for screen-heavy work or long hours. For extended wearing occasions, Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus and Acuvue Vita deliver month-long silicone hydrogel performance with UV-blocking protection built in.

Alcon (Dailies and Air Optix)

Alcon offers some of the most innovative spherical lenses on the market. Dailies Total 1 is widely regarded as the most advanced daily disposable lens available — its water gradient technology means the outer surface is made of more than 80% water, creating an exceptionally smooth, comfortable wear that many wearers describe as barely feeling a lens is there. Dailies AquaComfort Plus and Precision 1 round out Alcon's daily range with moisture-releasing and SMARTSURFACE® technology respectively, both available in 30-pack and value 90-pack options. For monthly wearers, Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde provides silicone hydrogel breathability with SmartShield moisture-retaining technology, while Air Optix Night & Day is clinically approved for up to 30 nights of continuous wear.

Bausch + Lomb

The Bausch + Lomb spherical range spans both daily and monthly formats. Biotrue ONEday daily lenses are inspired by the biology of the eye — they match the moisture content of the cornea to deliver outstanding end-of-day comfort. For monthly wearers, ULTRA contact lenses feature MoistureSeal technology that retains 95% lens moisture for a full 16 hours, making them an excellent choice for digital device users. PureVision 2 HD is a high-definition monthly lens with an aspheric design for sharp vision in all lighting conditions. The ULTRA One Day daily disposable brings MoistureSeal technology into a fresh-every-day format, available in 30-pack and 90-pack options.

CooperVision

CooperVision's spherical range includes several strong performers across replacement schedules. MyDay daily lenses use smart silicone hydrogel technology to deliver high oxygen transmission and all-day moisture in a naturally-feeling lens. Proclear 1 Day uses PC Technology — a material that actively attracts and retains water — making it a popular choice for wearers with drier eyes. For monthly wearers, Biofinity is one of the most trusted monthly lenses in Australia, with Aquaform Comfort Science technology that keeps lenses naturally moist and breathable all day. Focus Dailies rounds out the daily range as a reliable, comfortable everyday option.

Daily or Monthly Spherical Lenses — Which Is Right for You?

Both daily and monthly spherical lenses offer excellent vision correction; the best choice depends on your lifestyle, wearing frequency, and preferences.

Daily spherical lenses are the most convenient option — fresh every morning, no cleaning or storage required, and ideal for occasional wearers or anyone who prioritises hygiene and simplicity. Monthly spherical lenses are generally more economical for everyday wearers and require a daily cleaning and storage routine. Many regular wearers find a 6-pack monthly supply works out to excellent value over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription to order spherical contact lenses?

Yes. Contact lenses are classified as medical devices in Australia, and a valid prescription from a registered optometrist or ophthalmologist is required to order. You'll enter your prescription details at checkout, and our team — including partner optometrist Peter Merrett — may follow up if any details need clarifying.

How do I know if I need spherical or toric lenses?

Check your prescription. If it shows a sphere (SPH) value only, with no cylinder (CYL) or axis value, you need spherical lenses. If your prescription includes a CYL value, you have astigmatism and will need toric lenses. Still unsure? Call us and we can help interpret your script.

Can I claim spherical contact lenses on private health insurance?

Yes, if you hold an extras policy that includes optical cover. We're registered with all major Australian health funds (provider number 2413719K) and provide all the documentation you need to claim. See our health fund rebates page for full details.

How quickly will my spherical lenses arrive?

Orders placed before 10am Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day via StarTrack Courier Service. Metro customers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Canberra typically receive their order the next business day. Regional delivery is generally 2–7 business days depending on location.

Are there pack size options for spherical lenses?

Yes. Most brands in this collection are available in both 30-pack and 90-pack options for daily lenses, and 3-pack or 6-pack options for monthly lenses. 90-pack daily options offer better value per lens for regular wearers.
