Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism 90 Pack

Overview

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism contact lenses from Alcon are the first and only daily disposable toric lens featuring Water Gradient Technology — a lens design where water content increases from 33% at the core to nearly 100% at the surface, creating an almost invisible cushion of moisture between the lens and the eye.

Combined with SmarTears® Technology for tear film stability and Precision Balance 8|4® for consistent toric lens orientation, these lenses deliver all-day comfort and reliable astigmatism correction in a daily disposable format — with no cleaning, no storage, and no maintenance required.

What Is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a common refractive condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens of the eye. Rather than being evenly rounded, the eye is shaped more irregularly — causing light to focus unevenly on the retina, resulting in blurred or distorted vision at various distances.

Common symptoms include blurred vision, eye strain, squinting, headaches, and difficulty with night vision. Astigmatism often occurs alongside myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). Standard spherical lenses cannot correct it — a toric lens with a stabilization mechanism is required.

If you think you may have astigmatism, consult an eye care professional for a full assessment.

Water Gradient Technology — How It Works

The water gradient design of Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism is what sets it apart from all other daily toric lenses. Rather than having uniform water content throughout:

• The silicone hydrogel core contains 33% water — keeping the Dk/t high at 127 for excellent oxygen flow to the cornea
• An interpenetrating polymer network transitions the material from silicone hydrogel to an ultra-soft hydrophilic surface gel with over 80% average water content
• The outermost surface layer approaches nearly 100% water, with loosely cross-linked water-loving polymer chains that maintain exceptional lubricity throughout the day

The result is a lens that feels remarkably natural against the eye — 9 out of 10 wearers agree that Dailies Total1 lenses are so comfortable they sometimes forget they are wearing them. All About Vision

Precision Balance 8|4® — How It Works

Standard contact lenses can rotate freely on the eye without affecting vision. Toric lenses must maintain a fixed orientation to deliver accurate astigmatism correction — any rotation directly affects visual clarity.

Precision Balance 8|4® uses two stabilization zones positioned at the 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions on the lens. These zones interact with the natural movement and pressure of the eyelids during blinking, quickly guiding the lens back to its correct position. The design allows the lens to:

• Settle to within 2° of ideal orientation in approximately 37 seconds
• Maintain stability consistently throughout the day
• Support a 99% first-lens fit success rate
• Deliver stable, clear vision during movement, sport, and blinking

SmarTears® Technology — How It Works

The tear film has three layers — aqueous (water), mucin (gel), and lipid (oil). The lipid layer, produced by glands along the eyelid, sits on the outermost surface of the tear film and prevents evaporation of the layers below. When the lipid layer is unstable or insufficient, tears evaporate more quickly — leading to dryness and discomfort.

SmarTears® Technology releases phosphatidylcholine (PC) — a phospholipid that is a major component of the natural lipid layer — throughout the daily wear period. This helps stabilize the lipid layer and reduce tear film evaporation, maintaining comfort even in environments where tear film stability is challenged.

Recommended Usage

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism lenses are designed for single daily use only. Each lens should be:

• Applied fresh each morning
• Worn throughout the day
• Removed and discarded at the end of the day — never reused

These lenses are not approved for overnight wear. Always follow your eye care professional's guidance on daily wear duration.

Lens Specifications

Who Are Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism Lenses Best For?

• People with astigmatism — particularly those who have struggled to find a comfortable daily toric lens, or who are new to toric contact lens wear
• Wearers with dry or sensitive eyes — Water Gradient Technology and SmarTears® Technology together address the two main causes of contact lens dryness: surface moisture loss and tear film instability
• Active lifestyles — Precision Balance 8|4® provides consistent orientation during sport, exercise, and dynamic movement
• Busy professionals and frequent travellers — no cleaning or maintenance routine, no solutions or cases to carry
• Digital device users — SmarTears® Technology helps counteract the accelerated tear evaporation associated with reduced blinking during screen use
• First-time toric lens wearers — the 99% first-lens fit success rate and Water Gradient comfort make these a strong starting option

Always confirm with your eye care professional that Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism is appropriate for your prescription — including sphere, cylinder, and axis parameters.
