Precision1 vs Dailies Total1: Which Alcon Daily Lens Is Better?
Alcon makes two distinct premium daily disposable lenses: Precision1 and Dailies Total1. Both use advanced surface moisture technology — but on different material platforms and at different price points.
| Feature | Precision1 | Dailies Total1 |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Verofilcon A | Delefilcon A |
| Surface Moisture | >80% (SMARTSURFACE®) | ~100% (Water Gradient) |
| Dk/t | ~100 | 127 |
| UV Protection | Class 2 | Class 1 |
| Blue-Violet Filter | No | ~33% (380–450nm) |
| Toric Version | Precision1 for Astigmatism | Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism |
| Price Point | More accessible | Premium |
Which Is Better?
Dailies Total1 is generally regarded as the higher-comfort premium option — its near-100% surface water gradient creates an on-eye sensation many wearers describe as uniquely invisible. It also offers Class 1 UV and a blue-violet filter.
Precision1 offers strong all-day comfort through SMARTSURFACE® Technology at a more accessible price point — an excellent choice for wearers who want silicone hydrogel performance without the premium price of Dailies Total1. Your eye care professional can advise which suits your ocular needs. Both require a valid prescription.
