Dailies Total 1

Dailies Total 1 contact lenses are Alcon's newest silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lens that incorporates the worlds first water gradient design,which is being touted as a "game changer"  for those who suffer from eye dryness and are finding they can only wear their contact lenses comfortably for a limted time.

The water gradient technology featured in the Dailies Total 1 contact lenses referrers to the contact lens material, Delefilcon A, holding 33% of water at the core which increases to nearly 100%  toward the outer surface of the lens.  The largest moisture content is positioned on the outer part of the lens as this is  where the eyes need it most. Whereas at the core of the lens where the water content is less, this allows for an optomum level of oxygen to pass through to the lens material to the cornea keeping the eyes healthy and white.

The breathability of Alcon's Dailies Total 1 contact lenses is up to 6 times more than any other leading daily disposable contact lenses on the market today. The cornea has no blood vessels to deliver oxygen to it, so in order to stay white and healthy, the tissues draw oxygen from the suface of the eye. When a contact lens is placed on top of the eye it reduces the amount of oxygen that the cornea can take up therefore compromising eye health.  In a contact lens the higher the oxygen transmissability the better, in order for the eyes to stay healthy during wear.
