DAILIES TOTAL1® Water Gradient Contact Lenses Introduced by Alcon
Exceptional
comfort lasts from the beginning through the end of the day
First
and only water gradient contact lens; featuring an increase from 33% to >80%
water content from core to surface, approaching 100% at the outermost surface
Highest
breathability (oxygen transmissibility) of any daily disposable contact lens
Delivers
exceptional comfort from beginning to end of day – Feels like nothing
Do
your eyes often feel tired or do your contact lenses feel dry at the end of
your long day? A new era of eye comfort is now within reach thanks to the new
DAILIES TOTAL1® water gradient contact lenses. These unique daily
disposable contact lenses were launch by Alcon. The lenses have a built-in
‘water gradient,’ an engineering breakthrough that helps make them so
comfortable, nine out of ten DAILIES TOTAL1® contact lens wearers
agreed that the lens is so comfortable they didn’t feel anything.
Discomfort is a common complaint among contact lens wearers – 44% of all contact lens wearers experience discomfort, dryness or red eyes. Discomfort, at 48%, is the number one reason cited for discontinuing the use of contact lenses. This statistic is important considering 31% of contact lens wearers in the Asia/Pacific Rim alone stop wearing their contact lenses each year. People also lead busy lives – the average consumer spends more than 16 hours per day on all kind of activities – work, household chores, caring for others, or leisure activities – leaving no room for a contact lens that is uncomfortable.

Survey
results showed that contact lens wearers preferred DAILIES TOTAL1 water
gradient contact lens over their regular brand by a ratio of 13 to 118.
The survey results also showed that:
85% of subjects said DAILIES TOTAL1 water
gradient contact lenses felt comfortable at the end of the day
93% of subjects said that their vision felt
clear at the end of the day after wearing all day.
During a clinical study, patients rated DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses an average of 9.6 out of 10 for insertion comfort, and 9.2 out of 10 for end-of-day comfort. DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses are specifically designed to address contact lens discomfort – they have the highest surface lubricity (or smoothness) and the highest breathability (or oxygen transmissibility) of any leading daily disposable contact lens, delivering exceptional comfort that lasts all day.
Water
Gradient Difference
The
water gradient of DAILIES TOTAL1contact lenses has a water content that
transitions from 33% at the core to over 80% at the surface; approaching 100%
at the outermost surface. They maintain 100% of initial lubricity (‘wettability’),
even after a full day of wear.
The human eye blinks about 14,000 times per day, meaning the eyelid slides over the front of the cornea (and the contact lenses) roughly once every six seconds. Lubricity helps to minimize friction with the delicate tissues of the eye and at the surface of DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses, the lubricity reduces this friction and helps provide the breakthrough comfort of the lens.

Maximizing the flow of oxygen
DAILIES
TOTAL1 contact lenses are made out of the material, delefilcon A, used because
of the high amount of oxygen it allows through to the eye. Eyes need oxygen to
stay healthy. Without enough oxygen, eyes can experience such symptoms as
end-of-day discomfort, dryness and redness. In addition, the water gradient,
with a lower (33%) water content at the core of the lens than at the surface,
enables more oxygen to flow through the lens, which is important for healthy
contact lens wear. DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses offer the highest oxygen
transmissibility of any daily disposable contact lens on the market.
