*Based on in vitro measurements of unworn lenses.
**Based on the mean subjective ratings on a scale of 1 (Poor) to 10 (Excellent) for overall vision, overall comfort and overall handling in subjects wearing PRECISION1® contact lenses from a clinical study, measured at three-month follow-up visit; n=69.
***May use other proprietary wetting agents or other surface treatments to improve wettability, softness and comfort.
Are unaddressed comfort issues hurting your patient retention?
Up to 58%
of contact lens wearers experience symptomatic contact lens discomfort.9
More than half
of contact lens wearers wish they could wear their lenses longer each day.10
Dropout remains an ongoing challenge.
Key drivers of new-wearer dropout include poor vision and poor comfort.
of contact lens wearers discontinue contact lens wear entirely.10
of new wearers drop out within the first year.11
of those individuals don’t tell their eye care professional.12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
See product instructions for complete wear, care and safety information.
Important information for PRECISION7® (serafilcon A) and PRECISION7® for Astigmatism (serafilcon A) contact lenses: For daily wear or extended wear up to 6 nights for near/far-sightedness. Risk of serious eye problems (i.e., corneal ulcer) is greater for extended wear. In rare cases, loss of vision may result. Side effects like discomfort, mild burning or stinging may occur.
