Manufacturer:
Dailies Total 1 contact lenses are manufactured by Alcon, one of the world’s leading contact lens producers.
Brand:

Type of Lens:
Dailies Total 1 are daily disposable contact lenses for those with near or far-sightedness. You must remove and dispose of them at the end of each day.
Material:
Dailies Total 1 contacts are made of Delefilcon A, a special silicone hydrogel that consists of a water gradient. This means that because of the way Delefilcon A is created, it retains different amounts of water throughout the lens, from 33% in the core to 80% on the surfaces.
It is also extremely breathable, which keeps eyes fresh, healthy and ensures lenses are comfortable.
Technology:
Alcon’s Dailies total 1 lenses utilise the following technologies:
Water Gradient Technology - Unique to the Dailies Total 1 range, this technology enables each lens to retain a differing level of moisture throughout its structure. This helps to create a moisture-rich cushion around the lens that keeps eyes extremely hydrated and delivers a very comfortable wearing experience.
SmarTears Technology - An Alcon contact lense innovation that helps to stabilise your eye’s tear film with the slow release of an ingredient naturally found in tears.
Pack Sizes:
You can order Alcon Dailies Total 1 lenses in packs of 30x or 90x lenses directly from Lenstore.
Availability for Myopia, Hypermetropia and Presbyopia:
If you have presbyopia, Alcon offers Dailies Total 1 Multifocal. However, there are no toric lenses manufactured for those with astigmatism under the Dailies Total 1 brand.
Alternatives
If you’re shopping around for other daily lenses, it’s vital to discuss the suitability of each lens with your optician, as well as have them properly fitted. Lenstore recommends the following alternative:
Acuvue Oasys 1 Day

This improves wearing comfort - even for those with dry or sensitive eyes. These daily lenses also allow lots of oxygen to reach your eyes, keeping them healthy and hydrated.
FAQs
How Long Can I Wear Dailies Total 1?
You can wear Dailies Total 1 lenses for one day at a time. They must be removed at the end of the day and disposed of. You will need to replace with a brand new pair of lenses the next morning. However, you should clarify the optimal wearing length for your eyes with your optician first.
