Alcon announced the launch of Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism, the company’s third Water Gradient contact lens for U.S. patients.
“With stable vision and outstanding overall comfort, Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism addresses customer demands and patient needs while delivering on our purpose to help people see brilliantly,” Alcon North America President Sergio Duplan, said in a company press release.
This daily disposable toric lens joins Dailies Total1 sphere and multifocal and uses Alcon’s Precision Balance 8|4 design to stabilize its orientation and SmarTears Technology to help stabilize the lipid layer of the tear film, according to the release. It is designed to settle in an average of 37 seconds, and primary gaze lens orientation within 2 degrees of ideal occurs within 2 minutes.
“Many contact lens wearers think that some discomfort or dryness is the price they pay for spectacle independence, and this is especially true for toric wearers,” April Jasper, OD, FAAO, of Advanced Eyecare Specialists in Florida, said in the release. “I have long recommended the Dailies Total1 family of products to my contact lens patients who demand exceptional comfort. And I can now offer the same innovative Water Gradient lens technology to my patients with astigmatism.”
Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism lenses will be available in the U.S. in March and are expected to enter other markets later in the year, the company said.
