Both DAILIES AquaComfort Plus<\/a> and PRECISION1<\/a> come from the same manufacturer Alcon<\/a>, both are daily disposable lenses<\/a>. That is where the similarities start to thin out. These two lenses sit in different tiers, use different materials, and approach comfort in noticeably different ways. If you are deciding between them, understanding those differences helps you have a more informed conversation with your optometrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydrogel vs Silicone Hydrogel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The most significant difference between these two lenses starts with the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAILIES AquaComfort Plus is made from Nelfilcon A, a non-ionic hydrogel material with a water content of 69%. Popular hydrogel lenses have been around longer and tend to feel soft and smooth right from insertion. The high water content contributes to initial comfort, though it also means less oxygen passes through the lens compared to silicone hydrogel options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PRECISION1 uses Verofilcon A, a silicone hydrogel material with 51% water content at the core. Silicone hydrogel allows significantly more oxygen to reach the cornea. PRECISION1 has a Dk\/t of 100, compared to just 26 Dk\/t for DAILIES AquaComfort Plus. For wearers who put in long days or have been advised by their eye doctor to prioritise corneal oxygen, that gap is worth noting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
