Alcon has officially launched its new line of contact lenses called Precision7. These lenses are designed to be worn for seven days, offering a convenient alternative to the usual one-day or thirty-day lenses.
Precision7 Launch Date
Precision7 contact lenses are as of November 2024 available through select eye care professionals in the USA. They will be more broadly available in the USA beginning in January 2025, with launches in markets outside to follow later.
What We Know About Precision7
The Precision7 line includes several variations: Precision7, Precision7 for Astigmatism, Precision7 Multifocal, and Precision7 Multifocal Toric. These lenses are made from a material that is 55% water and 45% serafilcon A, a silicone hydrogel. They feature the new 7-day ACTIV-FLO® System.
Innovations in Contact Lens Technology
The introduction of a one-week lens is a significant innovation in the contact lens market. Most lenses are designed for either daily or monthly wear, so weekly lenses like Precision7 contact lenses offers a new middle ground. This can provide more convenience and better eye health for users who find daily lenses too frequent and monthly lenses too long. The ACTIV-FLO® System combines a moisturizing agent embedded in the lens matrix with a replenishing agent that continually releases moisture over seven days.
