Quick answer
For daily clear lens wear, Lighly Aqua Plus 10p offers extra UV protection and a slightly tighter fit, while Lighly Clear provides a similar moisture feel with a looser base curve at a lower price. Your choice depends on UV needs and comfort preference.
Key differences at a glance
Both Lighly Aqua Plus 10p and Lighly Clear are daily disposable silicone hydrogel lenses designed for comfort and moisture. The main differences lie in UV protection and base curve, which affect how the lens fits and protects your eyes.
Lighly Aqua Plus 10p includes UV-A (90.5%) and UV-B (99%) blocking, making it a better choice if you spend time outdoors. Lighly Clear has UV blocking but without the specific percentages, so its protection level is less defined.
The base curve also varies: 8.6mm for Aqua Plus vs 8.7mm for Clear. A 0.1mm difference can influence how the lens centers on your eye. Those with steeper corneas may prefer the 8.6mm, while flatter corneas might find the 8.7mm more comfortable.
How to choose between them
- UV protection priority: Choose Lighly Aqua Plus 10p if you need verified UV-A and UV-B blocking. The 90.5% UV-A and 99% UV-B protection adds an extra layer of defense for outdoor activities.
- Fit and comfort preference: Lighly Aqua Plus 10p has an 8.6mm base curve (tighter fit), while Lighly Clear has 8.7mm (looser fit). If your previous lenses felt too tight or too loose, this 0.1mm difference can improve comfort. Check your current lens base curve or ask your eye care professional for guidance.
- Budget and pack size: Lighly Aqua Plus 10p costs USD 10.13 (compared to USD 13.50), while Lighly Clear costs USD 8.64 (compared to USD 12.00). Both are 10-packs, but Clear is the more affordable option. If UV protection isn't a priority, Lighly Clear saves money without sacrificing daily moisture.
