I have switched many patients into Precision 1 lenses, and it has been received with enthusiasm. The lens is available in both spherical and toric parameters, allowing it to be used by a wide range of patients. The lens is the most commonly recommended lens for my seasoned contact lens patients in their 20s through 40s because it is both inexpensive and comfortable. Since its debut, he Precision 1 has been a huge hit in our office. ![]() The Alcon Precision 1 (Figure 3) has taken its place as the DT1’s sister lens. For patients with mild to moderate dry eye symptoms, DT1 is frequently the lens of choice. 1 AlconDailies Total 1 for AstigmatismÄailies Total 1 (DT1) ( Figure 2) contacts are recognized for their superior capability to retain hydration, ensuring that wearers have a healthy ocular surface all day. Though the lens was marketed to have cutting-edge ProBalance Technology aimed to optimize ocular surface homeostasis to minimize dryness, I have found that for patients with preexisting dry eyes, there may be better options. While the Infuse has its place in the younger pool of patients, older patients with any preexisting dry eye symptoms have reported discomfort, making it difficult to wear all day. The toric launch is in the works but is not yet available. ![]() The Infuse lens is currently available only in spherical parameters. In terms of cost, my patients and parents of my patients have been pleased with the $300 rebate when purchasing an annual supply. It is well tolerated by the younger population, ages 10 to 25, and has reduced average training sessions by more than a few minutes. The Infuse lens has been the go-to initial lens for all of my patients with spherical refractive errors. For all patients, learning how to use the lenses and gaining control over the learning process is a frustrating experience.
