Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions from Desìo lens wearers: wear time, colours, astigmatism, make-up, maintenance, dry eye and much more.
I have astigmatism. Can I wear coloured lenses?
Yes. Desìo toric lenses correct astigmatism up to −3.00 D (dioptre) of cylinder, in a coloured version. Contact your optician for a fitting assessment.
I have dark brown eyes. Do coloured lenses work?
Yes. Desìo shades are designed to work on very dark irises too. Both for those who want to lighten the iris while keeping a natural result and for those who want to change colour radically.
I only wore my daily lenses for 2 hours. Can I use them again tomorrow?
No. Daily lenses (single use) must always be thrown away at the end of each use, regardless of how many hours they were worn.
Can I keep monthly lenses for 35 days?
No. The 30-day limit is certified under medical device regulations and cannot be exceeded, even if the lenses appear to be in good condition.
Can I replace just one broken quarterly lens?
No. Desìo lenses are produced in matched pairs by batch. To guarantee the same colour in both eyes, both must be replaced. Contact your optician for a claim and replacement.
I work in an air-conditioned office and my eyes feel dry. Which lenses should I choose?
Desìo monthly lenses in Hioxifilcon D are the most suitable choice: their high water content (54%) and resistance to dehydration make them ideal for air-conditioned environments and for prolonged screen use.

Cosmetic contact lenses are medical devices: correct fitting requires a professional assessment by a qualified optician-optometrist. Avoid buying from unauthorised retailers or unofficial websites.
