Introducing Dailies Total1 For Astigmatism

One of the most popular daily disposable contacts on the market right now is the Dailies Total1. With it's proprietary technology and high water content, Dailies Total1's comfort is unparalleled. And after several years, it is now available in an astigmatism version! 

Why is Dailies Total1 so Popular?

Contact lens technology has progressed a lot since the days of hard glass lenses, and Dailies Total1 is at the forefront of that technology progression. There are three main benefits of Dailies Total:

Water Gradient Design

The unique design of this contact lens pulls water into the lens, keeping the lens moist all day long. This design was so successful that Alcon even launched a monthly lens with this technology called Total30.

High Oxygen Permeability

Your cornea needs oxygen to stay healthy. A low quality contact lens can block oxygen from getting to your cornea, leading to health problems. A high quality lens like Dailies Total1 let's oxygen pass through easily, keeping your eyes healthy and white.

Daily Disposable

Doctors agree that daily disposable contacts are the safest on the market. Because you only use dailies once and then throw them away, there's less chance for an infection due to improper cleaning.

What's Special about Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism?

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism has all the same benefits as regular Dailies Total1, plus some extra technology. The biggest benefit is the Precision Balance 8|4 design. Contacts for astigmatism have to be centered on your eye for them to work. If they rotate, your vision won't be as clear.

The Precision Balance 8|4 design of Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism ensures the contact lens stays centered on your eye. No rotations means you enjoy crisp, clear vision all day long.

How does Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism Compare to Other Contacts?

In recent years there have been several new daily disposable contacts released for correcting astigmatism. Lots of options means you will definitely be able to find a lens that works for you. Below you can find some comparisons of DT1 for Astigmatism with other popular contacts.

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism vs Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism

Both Dailies Total1 and Acuvue Oasys 1-day are made from silicon hydrogel materials, which means they both give you super high oxygen transmission. Either of these lenses will stay moist and comfortable all day long.

The main difference comes down to price. Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism is a brand new lens with a brand new technology, so it is slightly more expensive than Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism vs Clariti 1-Day Toric

Both Dailies Total1 and Clariti 1-Day are made from silicon hydrogel materials, but Dailies Total1 lets in 3x as much oxygen as Clariti 1-Day. If you need a lens with the highest oxygen permeability, then Dailies Total1 is your best bet.

When it comes to price, Clariti 1-Day Toric is cheaper than Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism. Clariti 1-Day Toric is an older lens, so the price has come down in recent years. If you need a cheap lens and don't mind wearing an older technology, then you could talk to your doctor about Clariti 1-Day Toric.

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism vs BioTrue OneDay for Astigmatism

BioTrue OneDay is made from a hydrogel material, compared to Dailies Total1's silicon hydrogel material. Dailies Total1 let's in almost 4 times as much oxygen as the BioTrue OneDay material. However, BioTrue OneDay is much cheaper than DT1 because it is an older lens with an older material.

If your eyes are sensitive, then you should consider Dailies Total1 even though they are more expensive. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, then BioTrue OneDay may be the lens for you.

Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism vs Precision1 for Astigmatism

Both Dailies Total1 and Precision1 are made by the same manufacturer, Alcon. Both of these lenses use the same Precision Balance 8|4 design, but they are made from slightly different materials. Dailies Total1 does have a higher oxygen level than Precision1, but Precision1 for Astigmatism is a bit more affordable than Dailies Total1.
