Also available in a PRECISION1 30 Pack.
The Clinical Benefits of SMARTSURFACE Technology in PRECISION1
The defining feature of PRECISION1 is the integration of Alcon’s proprietary SMARTSURFACE Technology. This innovation involves a permanent, micro-thin layer of moisture that is structurally anchored to the lens core. The lens transitions from a 51% water content at the center to greater than 80% at the outermost surface. This moisture gradient supports a highly stable tear film, which is essential for maintaining clear vision and preventing the end-of-day dryness often reported by contact lens wearers.
Maintaining Ocular Health with Verofilcon A
Fabricated from the advanced Verofilcon A material, Alcon Precision 1 daily contacts offer excellent breathability. With an oxygen transmissibility of 100 Dk/t, the lenses allow a significant volume of oxygen to reach the cornea, supporting white, healthy-looking eyes. Additionally, these lenses include Class 1 UV protection, which blocks more than 90% of UVA and 99% of UVB rays, providing an extra layer of defense for the internal structures of the eye against solar radiation.
Who Should Consider PRECISION1?
Optometrists frequently recommend these lenses for patients who:
- Require optical correction for myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness).
- Lead active lifestyles and prefer the convenience and hygiene of a fresh daily lens.
- Experience ocular fatigue or dryness, particularly during extended digital device use.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About PRECISION1
Is it safe to sleep while wearing PRECISION1 contact lenses?
No, PRECISION1 lenses are designed strictly for daily wear and must be removed and discarded before sleep. Although the silicone hydrogel material allows for high oxygen flow, sleeping in these lenses can lead to corneal hypoxia and significantly increase the risk of serious ocular infections.
What is the difference between PRECISION1 and Dailies TOTAL1?
Both are premium daily disposable options from Alcon that utilize moisture gradient technology. However, Dailies TOTAL1 features a water gradient that reaches nearly 100% at the very outer surface, placing it at the highest tier of comfort for extremely sensitive eyes. PRECISION1 utilizes SMARTSURFACE technology to provide a high-performance, dependable alternative with over 80% surface water content, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of active wearers.
How does PRECISION1 assist patients with dry eyes?
PRECISION1 is particularly effective for those who struggle with dry-eye symptoms. The SMARTSURFACE daily lenses maintain a lubricated outer layer that interacts smoothly with the eyelid during every blink. By stabilizing the tear film and preventing the lens surface from drying out, it helps to eliminate the "gritty" sensation that can occur in dry or air-conditioned environments.
