Also available in a Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism 30 Pack.
Superior Hydration with Water Gradient Surfaces
The defining characteristic of Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism is its unique Water Gradient surface. By transitioning from a 33% water content at the silicone hydrogel core to nearly 100% water at the surface, the lens creates a silky, frictionless layer that mimics the eye's natural tear film. This allows the lens to remain comfortable for extended periods, even for those who typically experience dryness or irritation with daily lenses for astigmatism.
Visual Stability with PRECISION BALANCE 8|4 Geometry
Maintaining crisp vision with astigmatism requires a lens that stays perfectly oriented. Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism achieves this through Alcon’s PRECISION BALANCE 8|4 design, which uses eyelid interaction to keep the lens stable during every blink. Furthermore, the inclusion of SmarTears technology releases a natural tear ingredient to help stabilize the lipid layer, making these lenses especially suitable for users who spend long hours in front of digital devices or in air-conditioned environments.
Who Should Consider Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism?
Patients who may benefit from these advanced lenses include those who:
- Require clear, consistent correction for an astigmatic prescription.
- Find that their current toric lenses become uncomfortable or blurry by the end of the day.
- Prefer a daily disposable schedule for the highest standards of ocular health and hygiene.
- Experience symptoms of digital eye strain or environmental dryness while wearing contact lenses.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism
Why is Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism considered a premium upgrade?
Compared to traditional hydrogel lenses like Dailies AquaComfort Plus Toric, Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism offers a significant increase in breathability. Its Delefilcon A material provides an oxygen transmissibility of 127 Dk/t, ensuring that more oxygen reaches the cornea for healthier, clearer eyes.
How does the stabilization design in Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism work?
The PRECISION BALANCE 8|4 design uses specific anchor points at the 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions. These points interact with your eyelids to prevent the lens from rotating, ensuring that the astigmatism correction remains perfectly aligned with your eye even when you are active or moving your head.
Is Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism suitable for sensitive eyes?
Yes, the Water Gradient Technology and SmarTears ingredients make Dailies TOTAL1 for Astigmatism an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive eyes. The nearly 100% surface water content ensures that only a gentle moisture layer touches the eye, minimizing the mechanical irritation often felt with lower-water-content lenses.
