What are your thoughts on Alcon’s Precision 1 contacts? Leave your feedback in the comments below!
Picked up some for reg eye & one astigmatism today. Contacts have came such a long way since my hard torics!
The BC on these lenses is 8,3. It seems low in comparison to many others. Does it mean I won't be able to wear them If I´m used to BC 8,6?
Comfortable, however very sticky at the end of the day and harder to remove at times vs my B&L Infuse lens
I had trouble removing them, which led me to this video. I wanted to see if other people had the same problem.
I have the same problem. They are not for me 🤷♀️
Same.
Same problem. Almost went to the ER
Same here, I just struggled to take out my trials and I was getting really anxious- Dr. Google led me to this review! I have worn contacts for 24 years and I’ve never had such a hard time with removal
I don't if this can help, but i found out that to remove this kind of lenses, we should push them down and only after, pinch it and remove. You should pinch the lens when it's on the lower part of the eye, so it's easier to remove it. I had the same problem.
I really enjoy how Precision 1 contacts feel, I can basically wear them all day! Getting them off the eye though is really difficult for me. It gets a little anxiety-inducing after so long of not being able to grip the lens! I def. prefer these over the Acuvue Oasis that I've been prescribed in the past, but at least these are easy to get off the eye, so i'm torn on which to go with.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Honestly, removal of Precision 1 is a concern for some people. To best work around this, make sure your hands are dry and lotion free when removing the lens. Also consider adding a rewetting drop to lubricate the lens and make it easier to remove. Keep us posted on how this goes!
@shannon. Just make sure your fingers are BONE DRY. Super easy
@@hapiheart8370 yeah exactly
It was a new world for me when I switched to Alcon from Acuvue. Even aquacomfort plus was more comfortable for me than Acuvue’s premium daily lenses
I’m new to wearing contacts & already have dry eyes but these cause me extreme dry eyes just a couple hours in. I’m going to try eye drops made for contacts wearers & see if that helps. I have a 90 day pack & don’t want to waste them. I like the blue tint which helps me see that they’re in my eye. I squish my top lid & bottom lid together & the contacts pop out after a couple tries. That’s the easiest way for me since I have long nails & my eye doctor said it’s okay.
When I first tried these I said, thicker and slicker. They work for me! Regards from Indiana!
i've had no problem at all removing these after i was worried reading these reviews. i use a bone dry index finger and simply lightly touch the contact and slide it directly downward to the bottom eyelid then pinch with my index and thumb. the contacts come out super easy like that every single time, under 5 seconds.
Same
Same! Precision 1 are so easy to take out just be sure your fingers are dry. Love them!
I tried this method and it worked!! thank you! after really struggling to remove them this method works great.
Is it normal that in order to see properly with those I need to wear them with the "laser mark" at 6 o'clock position by default? In other case I see kind of blurry, especially in my left eye which has astigmatism of -1.75.
I know that normally, toric lenses have a "weight" technology which allows the laser mark to go to 6 o'clock position after 1 or 2 minutes of blinking. This does not seems to happen with those...
I am new to using contact lenses and was prescribed Precision 1 daily contacts. They are very comfortable to wear throughout the day. I find them a bit challenging to take out, but it might be because it is a new experience for me. After some trial and error, I found that moving the lens to the lower part of the eye and then gently pinching seems to work pretty well. Overall, very please with the product.
I am on day 5 and these are definitely the most comfortable lenses I have tried. The slight difference in effort to remove them is worth it. Also I like how snugly they fit.
Same! It's crazy how comfortable it is.
compared to daillies total 1s?
I have extremely dry eyes (amplified by my rosacea flares) and these are my first contacts (after trying a monthly lens that I couldn't do.) They last about 4-6 hours before getting dry and uncomfortable. I've had no issue getting them out (the monthly lenses were impossible and my roommate had to take them out for me.) I'm having a hard time finding eyedrops to use while they're in, though. Thoughts?
Ask you eye doctor about Bausch + Lomb INFUSE, Acuvue Oasys 1 Day, and Dailies Total 1. Those are the best lens options for people experiencing contact lens related dryness.
Which dailies contacts are the easiest to remove from the eyes?
As a beginner, I love the comfort of Precision 1 for myopia and astigmatism! I would love to see a multifocal feature added to my prescription in the future so I don’t have to wear my reading glasses to read my smartphone.
Thank you for sharing. I’m sure it’s in Alcon’s product pipeline.
I found aquacomfort plus much harder to remove than precision 1. Aquacomfort loved to pop out when I’d make surprised expressions. I found Total 1 to be equally comfortable to precision 1 so luckily for me I can save a bit of money. Dry eye patient here who can’t give up his contacts btw!
I am amazed. Your eyes were not blinking through out 😱
👀
I love the precision 1. They’re so comfortable. Just be sure that your fingers are super dry and it would be so easy to remove them.
Good tip! Thank you for sharing.
I love these they are way more comfortable than the Accuve from Johnson & Johnson. I wore these all day and honestly forgot they were in my eyes. I'm sold after my free trail and will be calling my eye doctor in the morning, to order my 90 or 6 month supply whichever one my eye vision insurance will cover. I had absolutely no issues with removing these contacts from my eyes, so i can't relate to the other reviews. #1
I’m happy to hear you’ve had success with Precision 1. Thank you for sharing.
I find the Precision 1 lenses to be very comfortable, my eyes stay feeling hydrated and fresh all day. Haven't had difficulties removing them after use. What I have experienced though is that the lenses become blurry if I close my eyes for a while (e.g. while meditating) and that eyedrops or lens solution won't make it better. Very annoying! I have never experienced this with other contacts, been a contact lens user for over 20 years.
Thank you for sharing. When this occurs, how long does it take for your vision to clear back up?
I was prescribed this lens to try to get me beyond the giant papillary conjunctivitis reaction that I was having to my former daily lenses (after many years of daily wear and moving to a dry environment). Precision 1 feels amazing, but they are very difficult to remove. VERY difficult, to the point where I think I may have to stop wearing them and lose the money I spent on them. If you come up with any tips, I'd appreciate them. I miss just being able to easy pinch out my contacts.
This is a common complaint about both Precision 1 and Dailies Total 1. Here is what I advise patients on how to best handle these lenses:
1) Dump the lens out of its packaging into your hand instead of trying to remove it from its packaging.
2) Make sure your hands are completely dry when putting in and taking out these lenses and do not use hand lotion around the time of doing so.
3) If you’re having trouble getting the lenses out, try pulling them to the side of your eye and blinking them out.
As with the Total 1's... Just sliiide to the side 🤣
Just make sure that your hands are totally dry. And if your eye and lense are totally dry put in one drop of contact rewetting drops and wait 10 min. and then take it out with totally dry hands.
Just be sure your fingers are super dry. What I do is I gently used my pointer finger and touch the lens and slide it to the side and pinch them.
I have been wearing contacts for years and I love the comfort of these but they are very difficult to remove. I wear one contact for reading and the other one for distance also uses a lens for astigmatism. That one is nearly impossible to remove because it is larger and clings to my eye. I am going to return them because I am worried that I will damage my eye trying to scrape these out of my eyes. I have never had this much trouble with 20 years of wearing contacts.
Unfortunately, handling and I/R are a complaint of these lenses.
Best contacts I've ever had
Thank you for sharing
I have a glaucoma shunt so am I limited to what contacts I can wear? Which contacts are better for glaucoma
Hard to say an exam. I recommend scheduling a visit with your eye doctor to evaluate your options.
I got em.... there a nice lens I have astigmatism in my right eye, they do get dry tho. I tend to read with them.. and need readers. They are a nice CL tho.
Thank you for sharing your feedback 😊
Hi! I have a question for you. Do I have to throw out these lenses every night? or are they good for daily use?
Thanks.
Yes, every night they should be thrown away. If you’re looking for a lens that you can rewear up to 2 weeks or a month, ask your eye doctor about options.
What do you think about Precision 1 vs Acuve Oasys Hydraluxe? My doctor didnt give me hydraluxe to try, is it worth to try for dry eyes?
I tried both recently and they are really similar although the hydraulux provided somewhat more hydration to my eyes.
I have found the Oasys Hydraluxe just as comfortable for me for all day thru late nite wear but with the advantage going to the Oasys Hydraluxe for being easier to remove at the end of the day -at least for me.
@@Kenster-man i tried it, wasn't as good as precision 1 unforunately
@@Livetoeats that’s good if Precision 1 works out for you. They seem to be quite good as well with good user reviews - plus as an added bonus they’re a bit more affordable than DT1 and Oasys Hydraluxe.
So far I'm liking them, but they can be a pain to take out.
**UPDATE** These contacts suck. I wore them every day for 3 months and switched to Acuvue 1 day moist. The precision 1 lenses were drying out throughout the day and my vision was blurring all the time. They would also stick to my eyelids when I blinked and move around because they were so dry all the time. I was constantly having to use rewetting drops for them and they were such a pain in the ass to take out. It's unbelievable how much easier it is to take out the Acuvue lenses and they're very comfortable. I wouldn't recommend the Precision 1's at all
Sorry to hear that, but i love Precision 1. They’re are so comfortable and i can wear them for 12-14 hours! I guess it really depends on your eyes.
I had the same issue. Question, when u finally were able to take them out did ur eyes turn red and feel super dry? Thats what happened to me. They felt fine while wearing but after taking them out my eyes transformed badly
You must be wearing some extremely good contacts because you don’t seem to be blinking more than twice in the whole video 👀🤣
Hes really selling the product
Hello. If I wear daily lenses and one of them falls down as i’m trying to put it in my eye, am i able to use contact solution for rinse it off or can contact solution only be used to rinse off monthly contacts?
Yes, you can do so.
how many hours can I wear them? Can I wear them for 16 hours?
Because of their comfort the Dailies Total 1 are the only contact lenses that do not hurt my eyes while wearing. But unfortunately they don't exist for people with astigmatism. Do you think the precision 1 is as comfortable as the Daillies Total 1?
Based on material design, no. However, it's worth being fit in the lens and experiencing it yourself to see! Also consider Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for Astigmatism, as that lens performs quite well.
@@RyanReviewsOptometry unfortunately it's not possible to order a trial lense. Paying about 30 € for a whole pack isn't worth the risk, I think.
actually dailies Aqua Comfort for astigmatism exist, but BS is 8.8 and R is 14.4. I can't wear them because my vision is not stable and I feel they're rotating in the eye all the time. I bought them in France with prescription and got Precision 1 for test, had no problems with Precision 1 except it was a bit dry, but the quality of vision was perfect. After opening up the box with dailies I was so disappointed, I can't describe how I struggled. They just don't fit in! Now I ordered Precision 1, because acuvue and L&B doesn't give me that quality of vision. While wearing L&B I couldn't read properly because the lense again is not stable :(
Omg I hate these things so much. I’ve worn bio true one days for years but since they’re having the supply chain issue my doctor gave me these to try. They feel fine while they’re in but taking them out- like everyone else said- is an absolute horrific nightmare. This video and the comments are all from years ago but even in 2023 there has been nothing done to address this issue. And yes I’ve tried every trick in the book, fingers very dry, tried rewetting the eyes, tried drying out the eyes, tried pulling down, tried pulling left and right, tried blinking them out, tried looking up and pinching, tried looking straight forward and pinching. Nothing works and it takes like an hour to get each contact out. My eyes are so sore :(
These are extremely difficult to remove. I've been wearing them for a while now and I'm following every tip but still having a problem getting it out from my left eye. Now my eye really hurt and have 1 contact lens still left in my eye...I have no idea how people are able to use them...
Slide it over then pinch 🤏
That’s exactly what I did but didn’t work for me. Then I found out it was the new tissue paper I use that left slightly moisture on my fingertips. Those who had no problem doing it probably just have dryer fingertips. It is too difficult and too risky… my eyes hurt so much and it probably hurt my eye sight, almost had to run into a clinic if I didn’t realize it was my paper tissue causing my fingertips not “dry” enough.
It’s a common complaint with Alcon’s water gradient contact lenses. Dry hands are recommended when inserting and removing. Otherwise, you can chat with your eye doctor about alternative lens options.
They are super hard to remove for me.
I’m new to contacts , I decided to try precision 1 , it’s EXTREMELY hard to get out of the eye. That is the only con I need to never wear them again. They are so thin and so perfect for the eye its like it literally bonds to the eye . I just can’t deal
Just make sure your fingers are super dry.
I had the same issue and ive been wearing contacts for 10 years so yes i know how to remove contacts and my fingers were dry af. My eyes ended up getting blood shot because they wouldnt come out it was a NIGHTMARE
ya, these certainly aren't good for someone new to contacts. you need to already be very comfortable with touching your eye to get these out. I've been wearing contacts for 27 years and it took me a little to figure out a good way to get these ones out. for me it's worth it as these are the best contacts I've had in terms of comfort all day long. I definitely wouldn't recommend them to someone who hasn't been using contacts for a while.
I suggest using your finger, push them to the side of your eye, then take them out. I think the problem occurs when you try to lift them directly from the center of the eye, it’s just hard to do.
I can't agree with you about aqua comfort plus. I've used the original All Day Comfort, Aqua Comfort and Total 1's. It seems manufacturers are trying to find reasons to increase pricing. The Aqua Comfort are the most comfortable lenses I've ever worn.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Some people do better in daily hydrogel contact lenses like DACP, you might be one of them. The overwhelming majority are more comfortable in daily SiHy lenses but that is why we have different lens options as professionals to fit and prescribe patients based on their individual needs.
How interesting. My experience is the opposite. I started out with Aqua Comfort Plus, and my eyes would get dry in the afternoon. Switched to Total 1 and I can wear those all day long. Of course, I miss the price of Aqua Comfort Plus.....
@@helsinkisuomi how odd. I guess everyone's eyes are different...which is why manufacturers still make so many lenses lol! I've heard that quite a few people don't find the Total 1's all that comfortable at the end of the day 👀. It seems opticians are quick to recommend silicon hydrogels over the traditional hydrogels...they may give the eyes more oxygen but various reports have shown they can cause other complications. Of course they're more expensive which is probably a factor in recommendation! I find the Total 1's comfortable for about 5 hours...but then they begin to feel like bits of glass in my eye lol 🙄
@@markchandler7085 Oh definitely, everyone's eyes are different. I actually used only 4 contacts of my Acuvue TruEye trial pack and had to throw the remaining 6 out. If I remember correctly, TruEye is one of those silicon hydrogels contacts? I don't know if I am allergic to the lens material or the additive in the saline buffer solution, but my eyes were stinging and I had to take the lenses out after 20 minutes. When this happened two days in a row, I was like, no, I can't use these. And despite the fact that I like Total 1 very much, I only wear them when I go out. When I am at home all day long, I wear my prescription glasses. Nothing beats having the eyes getting the oxygen directly from the air! I don't know about other people, but I had worn Total 1 for 19 hours a few times because I thought, my eyes would be ok because these lenses let a lot of oxygen in. But I think the lenses were also dirtier due to the longer wear time. So I was solving one problem by creating a new problem. The good news is, I don't wear contact lenses that many hours in one setting anymore :-)
My doctor prescribed me Aqua Comfort lenses and they were terrible, it felt like a super thick layer of film on my eyes since the moment I put them in, got my eyes red and irritated after 4-5 hours. I tried Dailies Total 1 and it was life-changing, feels so comfortable like if there was no lense in my eye at all. I guess you get what you pay for.
Trying to understand why this product was made when Total 1 exists. If this is newer/better why is it still cheaper than the Total 1?
It’s newer but the lens properties are not better than dailies total 1. Instead, it’s has good (not great) lens properties and was designed to be more affordable.
What’s the difference between precision and aqua comfort plus
Precision 1 is made of a silicone hydrogel material while Dailies Aqua Comfort Plus is made of a hydrogel material. Precision 1 is designed with newer technology and is more comfortable (but also cost more).
IntroWellness | Health and Wellness Simplified a what about precision 1 vs dailies total 1
@@Quangcurry13524 They are both made by the same company, but Total 1 lets more oxygen into your cornea. Precision 1 has UV protection though. Total 1 is more expensive.
Uv protection was
my main reason to switch
2022 they have Astigmatism version now. :)
Yes, 100%!
Impossible to get out. I’ve been wearing contacts my entire life. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Same! Idk how some people dont have issues. Also the high water content in these contacts are bad for people who suffer from dry eyes. These were a nightmare for my eyes, caused them to be dry and wouldnt come out
FOR EVERYONE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK. YOU WILL GET IT OUT.
This are more slippery than usual, after an hour and 2 mental breakdowns do the following.
1) wash hands and dry until they’re so dry it looks like grandmas skin. I mean absolutely bone dry.
2) do not add wetting drops, they’re already way too slippery making it more wet is just going to make it slide around.
3) use bone dry index finger and pull down slightly, use same hand thumb and pinch the lens. It should fold and come right out.
4) stop having panic attack.
If your pinch is not working just add a little more pressure. This requires more pressure to remove than the acuve oasis. All I did was just push and pinch slightly harder than usual and it came out first try with added pressure. I was grabbing it with the same force as usual and obviously this doesn’t work for this pieces of shet
Heres my experience: it was my first time trying this brand for astigmatism. They felt so comfortable and like i had nothing on my eye. The nightmare came when i had to take them out! I been wearing contacts for 10 years so yes i knew every trick in the book. The lenses are so thin and moist, that it was impossible to take out. My left eye turned very red and inflammed after only trying to take them out 3 times. I finally got them out after massaging my eyelid and trying to create an air pocket in the lense. BINGO got them suckers out. However my eyes were DRY and RED after. These lenses have high water content which is NOT recommended for people with dry eyes. Look it up. No wonder my eyes feel like a sahara desert right now. Interesting though because while wearing them, my eyes felt fine. It was only after removal did everything turn awful. I will stick to my air optixs! Anyone else with the same experience? Would love to hear it
oh wow I’m sorry to hear that! i too have gotten this brand and use the toric lenses for astigmatism, and they are quite difficult to take out, but i can usually get them both out within 5 minutes. im only about 2 weeks in on using them and i myself have not experienced the dryness or redness afterwards. im sorry you experienced that! sounds painful. hopefully you can find the right brand for your eyes
Thank you for sharing. Handling and I/R are occasionally complaints for Precision 1.
Does them enlarge your eyes a bit? Cuz it does to me! Anyone?
They gave me a headache..perhaps too snug for my eyes with beginnings of glacoma. I dont have dry eyes.I have worn air optix for 20 years and they are comfortable and easy to get on and out.
Not a common complaint for this product.
You have amazing teeth!
I've tried, but it's not as comfortable as Oasys 1 Day.
Thank you for sharing.
these literally do not come out of my eyes at the end of the day. I will have to spend spend 20 minutes scratching my eye to get them out and I have. I have worn contacts for 7 years and I have never had any problems with any other brand.
This is a common complaint for Precision1 and Dailies Total1. Pro tip - make sure you have dry fingers when inserting and removing the lens.
Have tried adding eye drops a few minutes before you are ready to remove your contacts?
Just make sure your hands are dry to touch
It's the worst lense to get out.
I was used to Daily acuvue for years, tried Precision one and nearly freaked out not being able to grip the freaking lense. My eyeball hurts now....even pulling it down is an effort as it slips up very quickly.
Nuh. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Handling has been a common complaint about this lens and dailies total one. Hopefully you were able to get back into a lens that is easier for you to handle.
I had the same problem. I have worn contacts since I was 15 and have NEVER had that problem before. I also work in the eye field and have tried many different brands and this is definitely one I will never use again. I'm going to talk to our rep when he comes in about it. It's crazy how the texture is. Another rep tried them and had the same problem.
So on the Precision one, when u did have them in before u freaked out, How was your vision?
I have been wearing contacts for almost 20 years and consider myself a pro. I never need a mirror to put in or take out my contacts. With these, I had no issues putting them in but I struggled to get them out. They were easy to move around but I could not get them to release my eye. I've never had such a struggle removing contacts before. I can only imagine the anxiety this would give someone who is just starting out wearing contacts. The only way I could remove them was to shove it in the corner of my eye to create a pocket of air to grab them which was not pleasant. I'm sad because overall these were still very comfortable after 8 hours of use. If the handling could be improved these would be amazing.
@@allisonfranks9567 it’s the opposite for me. They’re super comfortable and easy to remove that i dont need a mirror when removing them. I just have to make sure that my fingers ARE SUPER DRY or else they wont come off.
Yeah this contact for me though it's my first day with it was a bitch to get off my left eye. >.>
Handling is a complaint I receive from patients that wear this lens.
i fucking hate these contacts, it is really comfortable, but it takes years to try to get it out and my eyeballs are full of blood whenever i handle them.. I love the comfort, but I absolutely hate this contacts because it is hard to get off
2022: 1020
🤔
These are the worst lenses I’ve ever tried I could barely get them out of my eye without scratching my eyeball never again.
God I hate these things 3 days of trials and every time they get stuck I hate them
Sorry to hear this. Did you find a lens that worked well for you?
Do you blink?!!!
I’ll work on it 😂
He not a blinker , thats for sure! lol
😄😄
😂
Horrible lens. I have used lins for 33 years and this is the first tileever where I simply cannot get the lens out of my eye!!! 😡😡😡
Unfortunately, handling and I/R is a complaint of these lenses.
