PRECISION1 contact lenses provide a highly stable tear film and exceptional moisture retention, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking a consistent and comfortable daily wearing experience.
Also available in a PRECISION1 90 Pack.
The Clinical Benefits of SMARTSURFACE® Technology in PRECISION1 Lenses
The core innovation behind these lenses is SMARTSURFACE® Technology. This features a permanent, micro-thin layer of moisture that is structurally anchored to the lens surface. While the silicone hydrogel core maintains a 51% water content, the moisture level at the outermost surface exceeds 80%. This gradient allows for a smooth interaction between the lens and the eyelid, which helps to maintain hydration and comfort from the moment of insertion until the end of the day.
In addition to moisture management, these lenses are manufactured from Verofilcon A, a highly breathable silicone hydrogel material. With an oxygen transmissibility of 100 Dk/t, the lenses allow a significant amount of oxygen to reach the cornea. Optometrists frequently recommend this high level of breathability to support long-term ocular health and ensure eyes remain white and clear.
Who Should Consider PRECISION1?
PRECISION1 is a versatile daily disposable lens frequently recommended for a broad profile of patients, including:
- General Correction: Individuals requiring optical correction for myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness).
- New Wearers: Patients transitioning into contact lenses for the first time who require a lens that is easy to handle and provides reliable performance.
- Dry Eye Symptoms: Those who experience end-of-day dryness or discomfort with traditional hydrogel lenses.
- Active Lifestyles: Wearers who prefer the hygiene and convenience of a fresh pair of lenses every day without the need for cleaning solutions.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About PRECISION1
Can I sleep in PRECISION1 contact lenses?
No, PRECISION1 lenses are designed strictly for daily wear and must be removed and discarded before sleep. Even though the silicone hydrogel material offers high oxygen permeability, wearing them overnight can significantly increase the risk of corneal hypoxia and serious eye infections.
How does PRECISION1 compare to Dailies TOTAL1?
Both products are premium silicone hydrogel daily disposables manufactured by Alcon, but they utilize different moisture technologies. While Dailies TOTAL1 features a water gradient that reaches nearly 100% at the surface, PRECISION1 uses SMARTSURFACE® Technology to achieve over 80% surface moisture. PRECISION1 is often positioned as a high-performance, mainstream alternative that delivers many of the benefits of a premium moisture gradient lens.
Are PRECISION1 contact lenses suitable for dry eyes?
Yes, PRECISION1 is often recommended for patients prone to dryness. The SMARTSURFACE® Technology ensures that the part of the lens in contact with the eye and eyelid remains lubricated, which helps to stabilize the natural tear film and prevent the gritty sensation often associated with contact lens dehydration.
