When age catches up, your body shows clear indications. Case in point: presbyopia. An eye condition that is part of the natural ageing process, it generally hits most people around the age of 40⁽¹⁾, making reading books, newspapers or small print a challenge. Your vision becomes blurry as your eyes gradually lose the ability to see things up-close. While reading glasses and bifocals are possible solutions, they can affect your style quotient.

Enter the Alcon Dailies Total1 Multifocal contact lenses made for presbyopes. Reading will become a breeze and looking stylish remains within sight. Here are five things to know about the Dailies Total1 Multifocal contact lenses and how they can help you overcome any presbyopia‑related issues.

1. Long-Lasting Wear

Many contact lens users stop wearing contact lenses after the onset of presbyopia, citing dryness and discomfort⁽²⁻³⁾. Thanks to the water gradient technology in Dailies Total1 Multifocal contact lenses, you can bid adieu to such issues. The lenses remain soft and comfortable to wear even at the end of the day. The technology ensures high water content even at the hydrophilic surface of the lenses, allowing for prolonged use in utmost comfort⁽⁴⁻⁶⁾.

2. Improved Vision

Dailies Total1 is created with Precision Profile⁽⁷⁾, an innovative optical design by Alcon that offers a seamless experience between distant, intermediate and near vision⁽⁸⁾. Simply put, everything remains clear whether you are reading up‑close or looking at road signs from a distance.

3. Increased Comfort

With the employment of SmarTears technology in the lens design, wearing Dailies Total1 is so comfortable that you forget about the existence of the contact lenses in your eyes! The technology releases an ingredient found naturally in tears to stabilise the lipid layer of the tear film⁽⁹⁾.
