Don’t miss this opportunity for growth

 

47% of patients are astigmatic,1* but only 10% of those are in Toric contact lenses.2
 

Toric contact lenses provide better visual acuity to astigmatic patients than spherical lenses, even for low to moderate astigmats.3-6

PRECISION1® for Astigmatism contact lenses feature SMARTSURFACE® Technology.

Comparison showing PRECISION1 for Astigmatism lenses with a 2–4 micron moisture layer and higher surface water content versus traditional lenses with a uniform polymer and no surface water technology.

PRECISION1®, with SMARTSURFACE® Technology, delivers superior lens-surface moisture stability9-13*


In in vitro studies, PRECISION1® (sphere) 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.9-13*

Radial bar chart comparing surface moisture retention across daily lenses. PRECISION1® lasts 30 seconds, compared with ACUVUE® OASYS 1-DAY, Biotrue® ONEday, 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST®, clariti® 1 day, 1-Day ACUVUE® TruEye®, and MyDay®, which range from 5 to 16 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).
