Monthly Replacement Contact Lenses


Air Optix


Air Optix Aqua - A monthly replacement lens: this lens is in the process of being discontinued. It will be replaced by Air Optix HG (above).

Air Optix Night & Day - A monthly replacement lens that is approved for up to 30 days and nights of wear. Please see our page on extended wear lenses if you are interested in this type of lens, because there are increased health risks.


Air Optix + HydraGlyde

Dailies

Precision One - Alcon's newest daily disposable contact lens. Comfortable, easy to handle, and the most UV protection available in a daily disposable contact lens (but not a substitute for sunglasses). Also available for those who have astigmatism.


Dailies Total One - The Dailies Total One contact lens is made of a unique material that has more water content at the outside of the lens, which allows for greater moisture and comfort. The inner core of silicone ensures that a high amount of oxygen is transmitted to the eye. This lens is great for dry eyes and those who want to dispose of their lenses daily. These lenses allow the eyes to breathe well compared to other daily disposables due to the high oxygen transmissibilty of the material it is made of.

Dailies Total One Multifocal - This very comfortable lens now also comes in a multifocal for those who need a bifocal.

Dailies Total One For Astigmatism - Alcon finally has a toric version of their popular Dailies Total One contact lens. The same exceptionally comfortable lens for those who have astigmatism.


Dailies All Day Comfort - A daily disposable lens that contains a moisturizing agent called AquaRelease. Available in 30 or 90 packs.

Dailies All Day comfort are no longer available in North America but may still be available in the UK.

Dailies AquaComfort Plus - Also a daily disposable lens, that keeps eyes lubricated with blink-activated moisture. Available in 30 or 90 packs.

Dailies AquaComfort Plus for Astigmatism and Presbyopia - The same comfort and daily disposable convenience of Dailies AquaComfort Plus is now available in topic and presbyopic prescriptions. If you have astigmatism, or need a bifocal, you can now wear Dailies aqua comfort Plus.



Coloured Contact Lenses


Air Optix Colors

For years people who have wanted to change their eye color had to endure dryness, irritation, and end of day discomfort, especially those with dry eyes or who live in a dry climate. Alcon now has a new coloured contact lens that is made with the moisture, comfort and breathability of silicone: Air Optix Colors. There are nine colors available. Some with a subtle color change: Pure Hazel, Green, Blue, Gray and Brown. Others have a more vibrant color change: Honey, Gemstone Green, Brilliant Blue and Sterling Gray.
