Ask me again in March!
Alcon recently announced the launch of the Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism, the first and only water gradient contact lens for patients with astigmatism.
The lenses will be available in the United States beginning in March.
What are some talking points?
- The lens’s Precision Balance 8|4 lens design is the same stability technology used in both the Precision1 and Air Optix plus HydraGlyde astigmatism lines. Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism is designed to settle on the eye in an average of 37 seconds.
- On average, primary gaze lens orientation is within 2° of ideal orientation within 2 minutes. This provides the on-eye stability that astigmatic lens wearers need for exceptionally clear and stable vision.
- SmarTears Technology features the release of an ingredient found naturally in tears that helps to stabilize the lipid layer of the tear film. (via)
