Alcon Total30 “A lens to start in and stay in”

As the 2021 BCLA’s virtual Clinical Conference and Exhibition prepare to start off in a live-streamed setting this Sunday 13th of June, Alcon prepares to showcase Vision Care Innovation, including Clinical Data for its forthcoming reusable monthly contact lens Total30. Alcon describes Total30 as “the first-and-only monthly replacement water gradient contact lens”. Alcon has had great success with Dailies Total1®, and Total30 will be the first-and-only monthly replacement water gradient contact lens featuring an innovative water gradient material with biomimetic Celligent™ technology.

“We are delighted to partner with the BCLA to present our robust scientific data on several of our products, notably on TOTAL30, which is designed to address two of the key factors to maximize contact lens wearer retention: comfort and vision,” said Cheryl Donnelly, International Head of Professional Affairs at Alcon. Adding “Whilst we will miss the in-person interaction, the virtual BCLA event will enable us to share promising clinical evidence with even more eye care professionals so they can make informed decisions about patient care.”

During the two-days virtual event, Alcon will be presenting 18 abstracts as well as studies related to Total30 evaluating the integrity of the contact lens material after on-eye wear, durability after daily wear, and daily cleaning for a period of one month. Moreover, they will present information related to disinfecting and storing the lenses, surface softness, and comparison to other contact lens materials (samfilcon A, comfilcon A, senofilcon C, senofilcon A, or fanfilcon A) wettability after on-eye wear for one month, and structure properties. Those studies reveal Total30 has exceptional lubricity, outstanding surface softness, and high durability.   

Total30 is expected to be launched during 2021 in the U.S. and select markets in Europe, while a worldwide introduction will be during 2022.
