CLs: Torics to the fore

Alcon says its Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism contact lens is the first and only daily disposable toric lens to feature the company’s Water Gradient material. The material features a gradual increase in water content and approaches 100% water at the surface, so all that touches the eye is a cushion of moisture. The lens also integrates Alcon’s SmarTears technology, which involves the release of an ingredient found naturally in tears that helps stabilise the lipid layer of the tear film. The product features Alcon’s Precision Balance 8|4 lens design, which aims to quickly settle to the proper on-eye position, giving the wearer clear vision in a matter of seconds.
