Water Gradient Contact Lenses
DAILIES TOTAL1® Water Gradient Silicone Hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses represent a new era of comfort. They are the first water gradient silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses featuring an increase from 33% to over 80% water content from core to surface. This innovative contact lens has the highest surface lubricity
i
and the highest breathability (or oxygen transmissibility) of any leading daily disposable contact lens
ii
, delivering exceptional comfort that lasts to the end of the day.

Technology
At the core
At the core, DAILIES TOTAL1® Water Gradient SiHy contact lenses have a water content of 33%, which allows exceptional oxygen transmissibility - the highest of any daily disposable contact lens with a Dk/t of 156 (Dk/t @ -3.00D)vi.
Transition zone
Between the core and surface, DAILIES TOTAL1® lenses have a transition zone where the water content changes from 33% to over 80%.
At the surface
At their surface, the new contact lenses have a water content of over 80% - nearly the same as the surface of the cornea. The highly wettable, lubricious surface helps minimize friction and interaction with the eye’s delicate tissue.
