Focus Dailies by Alcon are designed to deliver exceptional moisture and daily convenience, making them a reliable choice for patients seeking all-day comfort.
Also available in a Focus Dailies 90 Pack.
How Focus Dailies Maintain All-Day Comfort
Focus Dailies utilise Alcon’s proprietary AquaRelease™ technology to support a stable tear film. This system integrates a lubricating agent directly within the lens matrix, which is gradually released into the eye with every blink. This mechanism ensures that the lens remains hydrated throughout the day, reducing the likelihood of end-of-day dryness often associated with older hydrogel materials.
Optometrists frequently recommend these Alcon daily lenses for their precise manufacturing. The LightStream™ technology used in production creates incredibly thin and smooth lens edges. This high level of precision minimises the physical interaction between the eyelid and the lens surface, leading to a more comfortable fit that many wearers barely notice during standard daily activities.
Clinical Benefits of Nelfilcon A Material
The lens is composed of Nelfilcon A, a non-ionic hydrogel polymer known for its high water content of 69%. This material is particularly effective at resisting the accumulation of daily protein deposits and lipids that can naturally build up from the tear film. By providing a fresh, sterile surface every morning, Focus Dailies offer a higher standard of ocular hygiene compared to reusable lenses that require manual cleaning and storage.
Who Should Consider Wearing Focus Dailies?Focus Dailies are a versatile option for a wide range of patients, particularly those who:
- Require optical correction for myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness).
- Lead active lifestyles where the convenience of daily disposable contacts is preferred over a maintenance routine.
- Experience ocular irritation or redness caused by environmental allergens like pollen or dust.
Note: A professional fitting and prescription from an optometrist are required to confirm suitability and the correct replacement schedule.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Focus Dailies
Can Focus Dailies be worn while sleeping?
No, Focus Dailies are strictly intended for daily wear only. They are manufactured from a hydrogel material with an oxygen transmissibility (Dk/t) of 26, which is not designed to support the corneal oxygen requirements during sleep. To avoid the risk of infection or corneal hypoxia, the lenses must be removed and discarded before bed.
What is the difference between Focus Dailies and Dailies AquaComfort Plus?
Focus Dailies represent Alcon's original daily hydrogel technology featuring the single AquaRelease™ wetting agent. Dailies AquaComfort Plus is the modern successor to this lens, incorporating a Triple Action Moisture system. While Focus Dailies remain a popular and effective choice, the AquaComfort Plus variant is often recommended for those who require additional hydration support for longer wearing days.
Are Focus Dailies suitable for patients with seasonal allergies?
Yes, Focus Dailies are often an excellent choice for patients suffering from seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Because the lenses are replaced daily, there is no opportunity for airborne allergens or irritating proteins to build up on the lens surface over several days, ensuring a fresh and irritant-free experience every morning.
