Long-lasting hydration

The water content of these lenses transition from 33% at the core to over 80% at the surface, and almost 100% at the outer surface.
Comfort all day long
The smooth, wettable surface of Dailies Total 1 contact lenses reduces the friction between your eyelid and the eye for optimal comfort. So even after 16 hours of wear, you’ll barely notice that you’re wearing them.
A hygienic and convenient solution

As a daily disposable lens, they have a protein-resistant structure that keeps the lenses clean from morning to night. You just simply need to remove them each night and apply a new set the next day, assuring you that you’re putting in a clean, hygienic and fresh pair every morning.
