PRECISION1 pack shot

Alcon is the pioneer in
WATER SURFACE LENS TECHNOLOGIES

Leveraging the technology of DAILIES TOTAL1®, the first and only Water Gradient contact lenses, Alcon created PRECISION1® contact lenses with SMARTSURFACE® Technology.

Side-by-side comparison of lens surface technologies. DAILIES TOTAL1® lenses show a thick ~6-micron water-gradient moisture layer; PRECISION1® lenses show a microthin ~2–3-micron moisture layer with >80% surface water content; traditional contact lenses show a homogeneous polymer structure with no water-surface technology.

*Based on in vitro measurements of unworn lenses.
**May use other proprietary wetting agents or other surface treatments to improve wettability, softness and comfort.

PRECISION1® is designed to combat the top three causes of new wearer dropout

 

About 20 percent of new contact lens wearers dropout withing the first year
Graphic comparing what PRECISION1® delivers—precise vision, dependable comfort, and ease of handling—with the main reasons new contact lens wearers drop out: poor vision, poor comfort, and handling issues.

SMARTSURFACE® Technology for superior lens-surface moisture stability8-12*


In in vitro studies, PRECISION1® contact lenses demonstrated superior lens-surface moisture stability vs. ACUVUE^ OASYS 1-DAY, Biotrue^ ONEday, 1-DAY ACUVUE^ MOIST, clariti^ 1 day and MyDay^ contact lenses.8-12*

 

Radial chart comparing surface moisture retention across daily lenses. DAILIES TOTAL1® shows 39 seconds, PRECISION1® shows 30 seconds, and other lenses—BAUSCH + LOMB INFUSE®, ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day, Biotrue® ONEday, 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST®, clariti® 1 day, and MyDay®—range from 5 to 18 seconds.

*Based on in vitro studies wherein wettability was measured using the iDDrop System. All lenses were tested in an identical manner, soaked in a PBS (phosphate-buffered saline solution) for 16 hours +/- 2 hours (p<0.001).
